Here is your chance to buy an very nice, original, low mile machine. I bought this bike the summer of 2013. AT that time it needed a new muffler and tires and tubes. Since I had the wheels off I removed the bearings and glass beaded the hubs, then gave them a good stainless steel wire brushing to bring them back to their original factory appearance. Then the bearing assemblies were carefully re-shimmed to factory specs. New heidenau tires and new tubes were then put on the freshly polished original aluminum weimann rims. This bike has the original dual seat. The striping has been waxed to the point of some of it disappearing due to the abrasives in the wax. The paint does have the patina of a nearly 50 year old rider. In the time I've owned this bike it's put about 500 smiles on me. It has never let me down and always behaved as a BMW should. This bike will cruise at 55 mph or more but at 250cc it's happier at 34-45 mph. The tire pump is standard on the bike but the tool kit is not present unfortunately. This machine is being offered only because I liked it so much I'm restoring 2 others and have found a newer, lower mileage example and don't need 4 ( or do I ?)lol. ALL the pictures were taken today , September 7th, 2015 after a quick bath, and show the bike as it currently is. Battery was new in 2013 and at that time I replaced the standard U.S. bars with low, sidecar handlebars as I prefer them. Overseas sales are welcome but any and all shipping arrangements are your responsibility no matter who purchases this bike. thanks for looking and check out our other interesting bikes.
