BMW R-Series description
|
Offered for sale is this very early BMW R50. This bike still has the early spoke pattern aluminum wheels that look more like the late plunger twin R68 / R67 / R51 models. And according to the parts book, this vin should still have them. It has all the other early parts including the dished headlight bucket, the small headlight brackets, small battery tray, the early plunger style horn, the small tail light and the front fender with no center brace, Also included is one of the hardest original parts to find, the early Knecht air filter. The Earles Knecht filter looks like a plunger filter, but it has several small detail differences, and it has its own part number stamped into the top. This one is correct.
What's even more rare is that this bike has the very early coil spring style solo seat. This was only offered for the first year or two of production, before the factory replaced it with the rubber silentblock. This is only the second one of these that I have ever seen in person in 40 years of being in the hobby. It's also a perfect match to the original fender top pillion rack right behind it. This bike has a matching number frame, engine and frame ID tag. A clear matching number Virginia title comes with the bike, ready to transfer into the new owners name. The bike is not currently running, but it turns over just fine. Looking in the spark plug holes, the bores look to be oiled, so it seems to have been put to sleep properly. The inside of the gas tank is factory fresh red coat with no rust at all (the photo is not the best, and shows more paint overspray than red). The carbs are the correct early style, with the correct numbers. It also has the 35/11 rear drive in the unvented case. The handlebars are not correct, and I never changed them or bothered to install any controls, since I knew they'd be recycled during restoration. This would be an easy Winter restoration for someone, and you would have a very unique bike when you were all done. Please ask all questions before bidding. Overseas sales are fine, but I cannot help with shipping quotes. Payment in full expected within one week of sale, and the bike should be picked up/shipped within one month of sale. Cash, check or Paypal Friends and Family (no fees on either end if coming from a bank account or Paypal balance) accepted. Good luck! |

ATGATT? – Question of the Day
Thu, 02 May 2024Be honest, now May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, which makes it as good a time as any for all of us to take stock of our own riding habits, both good and bad. Most motorcyclists are familiar with the acronym “ATGATT”, but for those who aren’t, it stands for “All The Gear, All The Time”. That means wearing the right safety equipment every time you ride, whether you’re commuting to work, or hopping over to the corner store for a carton of milk.
