********************************************************************


This is a 1957 BMW R26, fresh restoration. All numbers match bike. All parts purchased from Germany from OEM provider and through BMW. All parts were media blasted, re-chromed and powder coated, with exception to the tins which were painted. Electrical system has new harness, contactless ignition (no more points to fuss with) and semiconductor voltage regulator 6v for ease of operation and reliability.  It comes with the BMW tool kit and rag, 2 mirrors that are included but not installed at moment, and passenger foot pegs. Rack was installed on rear fender with gasket so as to not mar the finish and can be easily removed for clean look, or for passenger seat. I have the original long seat that will be included if interested. 

This was a detailed restoration that consisted of painting and powder coating all the parts to last for a very long time--everything from the wheels up was blasted and powder coated.  This is your chance to get a classic BMW that is better than other restorations as it has been powder coated and has OEM parts, not cheap Turkish and Indian parts. The upgrades are a larger capacity oil pan, modern contactless ignition, and voltage regulator. I have a huge list of receipts from parts and professionals on this restoration, if interested.

I purchased this bike as a literal "barn find' here in Idaho and I got it from the original owner. The title has a temporary brand that will be lifted soon, or I believe, once transferred. This was due to the bike's age since they didn't issue titles for them in Idaho back then. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call/text/email anytime 208 891 zero553 Feel Free To Make Offers, may also consider trades full/partial for classic car, bikes or more, doesn't hurt to ask.

I will work with your transport company or can suggest a few that I have worked with in the past. Vehicle does not have a warranty or guarantee . $500 deposit required within 24 hours, final payment to be within 7 days, if longer time needed please contact.


Possible trades project or working Porsche, DeLorean, Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Mopar or other european and muscle cars or bikes like Mustang, challenger, charger

New: BMW Streetguard 2 Jacket

Wed, 01 Oct 2008

BMW clothing offer an array of sizing, not just ‘small, medium and large’ of other manufacturers. They will let you pre-order a choice of size combinations to try with no obligation to purchase. As for the quality you’d think you were on a visit to Nasa with everything they’ve thrown into their textiles – Gore-tex laminated with Armacor provides abrasion and heat resistance.

WSBK 2013: Jerez Race Report

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

Eugene Laverty did everything he could, scoring a pair of race wins but it was not enough as Tom Sykes rode smartly and conservatively at the season finale in Spain, securing his first ever World Superbike Championship. Sykes landed in Jerez with a 37-point lead over Laverty and a 38-point lead over Sylvain Guintoli. While Laverty battled Marco Melandri to win Race One, Sykes coasted comfortably in third for most of the race to score 16 points, enough to clinch the title.

2013 BMW C650GT Canadian Pricing Announced – Sort Of

Thu, 26 Jan 2012

BMW has started production of its new C600 Sport and C650GT but still hasn’t officially released pricing information for its two new maxi-scooters. BMW Canada however may have let slip pricing for the C650GT: CA$11,900 BMW Motorrad Canada is holding a contest to give away a C650GT, and the contest rules list the scooter’s MSRP. Of course, the $11,900 price tag is subject to change, especially as the scooter isn’t expected to arrive in Canada until late 2012 as a 2013 model.
