French Army R25/3

Post by kingcowie »

Evening
i came across this picture of an army french r25/3. Each of its lubrication points were painted yellow. I tried to find some more history on the bikes etc but came up blank... Anyone out there could shed some light on the history and if they know of one (original) for sale. Thanks Shane

You could send a request to BMW's archives with the info you have on the bike and see if they have anything in their records about the bike. I noticed that the hand levers are of the later type with the ball-ends...they should more likely be the blade style.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.
