1959 r60
New to the site, old rider from the 60's. Can someone explain the major differences between 1959 r60 and r60/2?

Re: 1959 r60
But there were some internal improvements, likely some differences in frame gusseting to make the frame stronger. BMW was making running changes before 1960 and then after. Generally speaking, the later the bike the more improvements there were. But to someone just interested in getting into the vintage BMW world, there's probably not a lot there to define the differences. Maybe others will have different ideas.
Here's something by Duane Ausherman...read the section on /2 1955-1969:

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