1953 BMW R51/3 with Steib TR500 Sidecar


1953 BMW R51/3 with Steib TR500 sidecar. This bike is in excellent condition. Purchased in Turkey by a U.S. soldier and then restored in 2006.

The mileage of 420 is actual mileage since restoration and rebuild. The speedometer head was replace when restored. Runs great! No leaks.

I have the original bill of sale from Turkey.

I'm not going into detail because if you are interested in this vintage BMW you already know more about it than I.

I will help with logistics to ship.

Please contact me and I will try to answer any questions you might have.

I am estimating this motorcycle to be a solid 9 out of 10. The motorcycle is 60 years old!

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding

There is nothing cracked or broken on the speedometer. The condensation from washing it on a cool morning with warm water makes it looked damaged.

Covering virtually every category of sport-touring motorcycle, the Pilot Road 4 line is well suited for motorcycles over 600cc. They were designed to deliver maximum safety in the most common conditions of use, especially on wet roads and in particular when braking. In its press release Michelin also claims extended tire life, which we assume is in comparison to the Pilot Road 3.
