BMW R-Series description
|
Offered for sale is this very early BMW R50. This bike still has the early spoke pattern aluminum wheels that look more like the late plunger twin R68 / R67 / R51 models. And according to the parts book, this vin should still have them. It has all the other early parts including the dished headlight bucket, the small headlight brackets, small battery tray, the early plunger style horn, the small tail light and the front fender with no center brace, Also included is one of the hardest original parts to find, the early Knecht air filter. The Earles Knecht filter looks like a plunger filter, but it has several small detail differences, and it has its own part number stamped into the top. This one is correct.
What's even more rare is that this bike has the very early coil spring style solo seat. This was only offered for the first year or two of production, before the factory replaced it with the rubber silentblock. This is only the second one of these that I have ever seen in person in 40 years of being in the hobby. It's also a perfect match to the original fender top pillion rack right behind it. This bike has a matching number frame, engine and frame ID tag. A clear matching number Virginia title comes with the bike, ready to transfer into the new owners name. The bike is not currently running, but it turns over just fine. Looking in the spark plug holes, the bores look to be oiled, so it seems to have been put to sleep properly. The inside of the gas tank is factory fresh red coat with no rust at all (the photo is not the best, and shows more paint overspray than red). The carbs are the correct early style, with the correct numbers. It also has the 35/11 rear drive in the unvented case. The handlebars are not correct, and I never changed them or bothered to install any controls, since I knew they'd be recycled during restoration. This would be an easy Winter restoration for someone, and you would have a very unique bike when you were all done. Please ask all questions before bidding. Overseas sales are fine, but I cannot help with shipping quotes. Payment in full expected within one week of sale, and the bike should be picked up/shipped within one month of sale. Cash, check or Paypal Friends and Family (no fees on either end if coming from a bank account or Paypal balance) accepted. Good luck! |

BMW Fuel Pump Recall Hits US, Affecting 50,184 Motorcycles
Mon, 06 Jan 2014A recall affecting 18 different BMW motorcycle models from seven model years has been announced for the U.S., affecting 50,184 motorcycles. At issue is a potential leak in the fuel pumps or auxiliary fuel pumps on 2005-2011 BMW R series models, 2005-2012 K series models, 2006-2010 HP2 models and 2010-2011 S1000RR sportbikes. A similar recall was announced last month in Canada, affecting 6,325 motorcycles, and we knew it was a matter of time before the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced one for the U.S.
Thumbs up for a chilly N.E.C.
Wed, 08 Dec 2010Apart from the freaky weather I have to say last week’s Carole Nash Motorcycle Live N.E.C. show was the best Birmingham event I've attended in the ten years. I really appreciate the fact that manufacturers chose to ignore the recession giving us great stands to cater for every enthusiast young and old. Aprilia made a welcome return and I don’t know anyone that didn’t enjoy admiring the WSB RSV4, surely the the most gorgeous bike on the planet? The Honda stand rarely disappoints and this year was no exception with banking bikes providing fun for all the family.
