BMW R-Series description

We are selling an all original, very hard to find 1969 BMW R60/5. The motorcycle is in great running and driving shape. The paint is sharp and bright and seems to be all original except for the rear fender.  The tank has one small shallow dent on the very top right corner (see picture). There is some normal wear and tear for the age. The engine starts and runs great, both kick and electric start fuction properly. All lights and gauges work great. The tires are new and the bike is ready for the road. Comes with a clean Utah title. We take Paypal. 


On Jun-14-16 at 08:53:23 PDT, seller added the following information:

We have recieved numerous emails about the year and vin number. From our research we have done production started in 1969 but not released until 1970. We believe that this motorcycle may be a pre-production or early release. The vin number is an elusive "phantom" number that BMW is know for back then. We do have a current title stating that it is a 1969 BMW R60/5 with matching vin numbers.

When is a 500 Not a 500? – Question of the Day

Wed, 24 Apr 2024

When it's a 451, d'uh.

I mentioned how it’s generally safer for a manufacturer to stick to a combination of letters and numbers. While that’s generally true, apart from the occasionally comical practice of tackling on another “R” to make a model sound sportier ( looking at you again, Honda), it does bring the focus onto yet another common pet peeve: motorcycles with misleading numbers in the name.

VIDEO: Corser and Heidfeld swap BMW S1000RR and F1 car at the Nurburgring

Wed, 22 Jul 2009

WSB racer Troy Corser and Formula One fast man Nick Heidfeld recently swapped their BMW race machinery for a lap of the Nürburgring circuit.   Corser, who got to drive Heidfeld’s 700 horsepower car, said: "It was just awesome! The car feels so balanced, the brakes are fantastic, the tyres have unbelievable grip and the steering is very direct but still has a lot of feeling.
