Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

I have an early 1961 R69S in original Dover White. I believe I've seen earlier white bikes.

I was surprised to see this special bike only bid to $14.5K. Your good news is that It's still available from the dealer, Route 36 Motor Cars in Dublin, Ohio. It's a one owner, never lived in the rain, 3,500 mile original Dover White. It's practically unblemished and untouched. The dealer's not stup...

Heads Up. A lovely original Dover White R69S is on Bring a Trailer. Currently at $10K. Should be twice (see:only original once)

Thanks all for responding. I'll go ahead and order all the bearings, seals, gaskets, plugs, and washers for the R69 from the parts manual and figure they'll fit whichever case castings we opt for. Sure do miss Vech and Richard.

Nice to know y'all still out there

Am I correct that the transmissions of all the models from R50 to R69 are identical in all respects such as gearing . . .ect.?

We have four transmissions from which we hope to assemble two good ones. The casting numbers within the bell housing differ in their final digits. Would someone be so kind as to explain the situation?

Dat's some beeuuutifulll metal.

The fairing appears to me to be a Heinrich fairing. Is it aluminum?

Thanks Patrick. A great story well written.

I've recently acquired a S501 Steib which will mate with either a '51 R67 or a '59 R69 ( both bikes still in the restoration queue). The brake lines, b and the brake hub are all in place. A master cylinder is needed. A lot of the linkage items are available, but the cylinder is unobtainable. And so....
