BMW R-Series description

I am selling this bike for a friend/neighbor who does not have an Ebay account.

This is a pristine 1962 R 50  BMW.  It has been owned by a BMW collector for over 20 years.  It has had only three owner over it's life and all were friends who lived in Arizona. The bike has only 24K miles, all local Arizona miles. 

The bike was resored about ten years ago by Iron Hourse BMW in Tucson, Arizona.  In the last 20 years it has only traveled about 1000 miles.  Recently the bike has received new Avon tires and stainless rims, new bearings and brakes, rebuilt Bing carbs, new Pagusa seats and the  tank was repainted and striped.  The bike was converted to 12 volts about one year ago.

I have personally ridden this bike and can state that it starts easily, and runs smooth and straight.   Everything works and there are no issues.One of the best R 50's around.

WSBK 2013: Laguna Seca Race Report

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Tom Sykes and Eugene Laverty each came away with a victory as the World Superbike Championship made its return to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The first race featured two red flags, ironically caused by AMA Superbike regulars Danny Eslick and Roger Hayden, the two men with the most recent experience at the famed track. The second race was a much cleaner affair, with a dramatic finish, setting up the final two rounds of the championship.

BMW Standardizes Switches

Thu, 23 Oct 2008

Whenever you throw your leg over a bike that isn’t your own, there is always a few minutes needed to become familiar with the proportions and controls of the foreign machine. Getting a sense of the clutch release point, brake feel, throttle response and riding position may all differ from what you have been accustomed, but they slowly become second nature after enough seat time is logged. One such control that strays from this rule of thumb is the turn signal operation of many BMWs.

BMW Concept 6 [video]

Mon, 23 Nov 2009

BMW introduced an inline six-cylinder café racer concept at the 2009 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. Inline-six engines have a staple in BMW’s automobiles for decades and the German manufacturer’s motorcycle division took on the challenge of adapting the straight-six to a bike without making it too long or too wide. The result is the BMW Motorrad Concept 6, and an evolution BMW says “will further expand the K-Series in the foreseeable future”.
