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.

Vines motorcycle scrappage

Fri, 17 Jul 2009

  Following this year’s earlier Budget announcement about the government’s car scrappage scheme, Vines of Guildford BMW has created a similar scheme for motorcycles. Bike owners with motorcycles bought five or more years ago will be given £1,000 off the list price of a new BMW motorcycle when using their old bike as a part-exchange*.  Riders just need to ensure they have at least six months MOT left and the bike must be taxed with clear HPI.  Just like the Government’s car scrappage scheme has been put in place to help drivers, and the car industry, through tough economic times, Vines of Guildford wanted to offer motorcyclists the same opportunity, to purchase a brand new BMW motorcycle with the benefit of the £1,000 part exchange. As well as enjoying this benefit on the purchase price of a new BMW bike, riders can also look forward to complimentary panniers with all new R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure models, and complimentary Zumo sat nav system with the new R1200RT until 30 Sept, plus access to BMW’s Select Finance options to get riders on their bikes straight away with the option to change their new bike every two to three years.

BMW Developing Organic OLED Lighting

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

BMW is developing a new organic light emitting diode lighting system for cars and motorcycles. Unlike conventional LEDs, organic LEDs (or OLEDs) uses wafer-thin semiconductive layers made from organic polymers to produce light. OLEDs are more efficient and emit less heat than LEDs.

The future. But we can't have it

Thu, 10 Nov 2011

It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.
