1952 BMW R-Series

1952 BMW R25/3, the model that many would say saved BMW after the Second World War. This bike was imported to Canada from Australia in 2002, and I do have all the Importation documents. The previous owner had the bike running a few years ago, and parked it. It was on display in his private collection since then. I have not insured the bike since buying it, so there is no active registration or title but will be sold with bill of sale. It would most likely not take much effort to get this bike Road ready, that said it depends on what you are looking for. To become a driver with minimal work it would require tightening the handlebars, new battery, new gas, check the brakes and tires, and go. If you are wanting a restored bike, the paint is older and showing its age, there are signs of older body work near the rear hinged fender. The tail light and left control are not BMW parts. It would require complete renovation if you are wanting a show bike. The good news is that the tank is original and all steel, same with the fenders, these are often replaced with fibreglass replicas. There is good value in the tin alone! The seat is in great shape, perhaps had a new cover or pad at some point. Exhaust is in very nice condition as well. The engine is free and feels as though it has strong compression. An appreciating classic, with fantastic lines!Sold as is due to age.
