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.

But I'm feeling inspired and the inspiration comes from two adventures offered by Compass Expeditions.

Calling all BMW S1000RR owners ...

BMW has announced the HP Race Cover Kit for the company's highly-acclaimed S1000RR superbike. The kit aimed at trackday goers, replaces parts removed by owners prior to taking their bike out on track. Covers for the numberplate hanger, mirrors and indicators – all of which have been designed to facilitate simple and easy removal - neatly fill any gaps left by the removed parts.

BMW Standardizes Switches

Thu, 23 Oct 2008

Whenever you throw your leg over a bike that isn’t your own, there is always a few minutes needed to become familiar with the proportions and controls of the foreign machine. Getting a sense of the clutch release point, brake feel, throttle response and riding position may all differ from what you have been accustomed, but they slowly become second nature after enough seat time is logged. One such control that strays from this rule of thumb is the turn signal operation of many BMWs.
