Post by brownbmw »

Drug out some old bikes that have been in deep storage for years. Couldn't justify taking up "new bike" showroom space to display the NFS's, but finally built some display space 10 feet up. Can't touch 'em (or drool on 'em) but at least they're out.

1929 R63, 1932 R12, 1951 R67, 1954 R67/2, R60/2 "Baja" bike (converted for off road back in the '60's).

On the other side a first year 1977 R100RS, a Motorsport Edition 1978 R100RS and a Last Edition 1984 R100RS with only 2K miles.
The Motorsport belongs to a customer and is for sale.

Update picture

Post by todcp »

Added the correct tank striping and replaced the chrome generator and breather covers. Looks better now. Runs like a new bike. I am amazed how smooth the engine runs on these R50's. And surprised by how well it handles. Having a lot of fun with my first BMW /2.

...fun to line 'em up an compare strengths and faults of each: contrarywise to what some folks think, the R68 is not the greatest thing since sliced bread...

My R60/2 - 1961

Post by SteveH »

Went out for one of the nicest rides i have ever had on my R60/2.
Seems as if the further you ride the better the bike goes.
Went out around the local villages and came cross this memorial US Airforce memorial in a place called Grafton Underwood.

First photo is of 1950 R51/2

Post by pwheeler »

First photo is of 1950 R51/2 recently restored by Chris and Barbara at Barrington. Recently featured in the winter 2014 and spring 2015 Motorrader magazine.
Remainder of a recently purchased 1938 R35 which sat well oiled and covered in a barn in ME since 1995. Tracked down the Polish owner who emigrated with the bike to Ottowa in 1988 and who's grandfather "obtained" the bike at the end of WWII. Waiting to enter the queue at Barrington and undergo a mechanical restoration.
Cheers, Phil
