R27 pricing
Does it run?
I have had numerous R27s over the years. I thought and still think they are very attractive. I sold my last one a few years back. Now my only single is a 1954 R25/3, which is funky and neat, but does not compare in comfort or performance with an R27. The plungers do not compare to the R27's swing arms. Strictly an around town ride.

RE: Plunger Singles
I would agree with that! That is my experience on my R25/2. Maybe things will change when Vech gets finished with it, but it's only for putting around.

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

When I get the R2 back from
My guess is that she does the 1/4 in the low-to-mid-Fifties.

R25/3 -- break neck speed!

Wow! My R25/3 pumps out a thrilling 13 HP! Wish I could join you at the dragstrip! Maybe it would go under 29.9 seconds!
And then there is the land speed record set recently on an R25/3 -- over 72 MPH!
The new records were achieved on a 1954 BMW R25/3 that was built by Richard Sheckler. May had set a record at Maxton this past June on board the little single of 67.19933 mph in the P/VP-250/4 (Production frame and engine / Vintage Pushrod - 250cc / 4 stroke) class. The vintage class is limited to vehicles constructed in 1955 or earlier, and for the P/P classes, the vehicle can not be modified in any way.

just read that Rebecca has pushed the record to over 77 MPH. She says she is "addicted" to the R25/3.

Deuce drive
It was cool to say that I had done it. I wish someone had followed and filmed it though.
Not sure that I would drive near any monuments or anywhere near the White House! I'm brave but not stupid!
