Come check out our beautiful 1966 BMW R50/2. This bike is turn key and ready to ride anywhere. The complete drivetrain was rebuilt in 2009 and only has 2000 miles on it since, all the break in miles and procedures are done for you already! The rebuild included a rebuilt crank with new slingers, new rings, bearings, seals and clutch. The transmission was torn apart, all bearings and seals were replaced. Any questionable gears were replaced and then the whole thing was put back together. The Rear drive was taken apart, bearings and seals replaced and the shims were checked. After the drivetrain was done it was put back in the bike as an original cruiser and that is when most of the miles were put on it. In 2014 this bike was given a cosmetic freshening. The bike was stripped to the frame, and painted the original Glasurit black. The tank and fenders were blasted and given a fresh coat of paint also. Any part that had a speck of rust or wear was either refurbished or replaced along with any worn rubber parts. That includes the swingarm rubber, that is prone to cracking. At this time a set of Bates hard saddlebags were added. The lights were wired in using a plug so that they could be removed for solo rides. The hand pinstriping applied to the tank and fender was extended to the top of the bags. The addition of the bags along with the high touring bars make for a vintage machine that eats miles. The Earles fork was known for comfort and the bike rides like a Cadillac down the road. This bike looks as good as it works and the whole package just pops in the sun. This is the perfect bike for a cruise in the back roads or down the coast. Get a pillion seat and put your significant other on the back to go on a vacation, anywhere you go on this bike will make you feel like your in the French Riviera. Any questions please ask!
