1967 BMW R-Series

Clear

WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS A PERIOD CORRECT VMW. YES THEY STRETCHED AND WIDENED R69’s, R50’s R60’s FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONVERSIONS BACK IN THE DAY. MADE MOSTLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PULLING SIDECARS 40 TO 50 YEARS AGO WITH THE USE OF THE VERY RELIABLE VW MOTOR IN THE 70’S WHERE PARTS AND SERVICEABILTY WAS SUPPER EASY, MADE THE VMW CONVERSION A POWERFUL AND FUN TO OWN BIKE. FOR THIS BIKE? IT IS TIME! I HAVE DECIDED THIS VMW HAS BEEN SITTING FOR SOMETIME NOW AND LOOKS AS THO I WILL NEVER GET TO IT. SO UP FOR AUCTION IT GOES. THE LAST TWO THAT HAVE SOLD WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS SOLD FOR $12,500 AND $9,500 MY RESERVE IS WELL UNDER THAT.THIS AUCTION SHOULD BE ON YOUR WATCH LIST IF PERIOD CORRECT BMW CONVERSIONS ARE OF INTEREST. YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 1967 R69s VMW CONVERSION DONE PRIOR TO THE MID 1970’S. THE PREVIOUS OWNER PURCHASED THIS VMW FROM BROWNS BMW IN 1975 THIS BIKE HAS A VERY RARE GLASER #44 FAIRING WITH TALBOT MIRRORS AND HELLA (Starship) TURN SIGNALS TWIN DISC’S BRAKES UP FRONT. ALUMINUM HAND MADE TAIL SECTION. BIKE IS IN MY NAME AND HAS CURRENT CA. REGISTRATION! THE PREVIOUS OWNER REBUILT THE MOTOR, BUT DUE TO HIS AGE, TOLD ME HE NEVER FIRED IT, JUST COVERED IT IN THE GARAGE WHERE IT HAD SAT FOR MANY YEARS. THEN WITH HELP FROM A FIREND DUE TO HIS AGE, HE PUT IT UP FOR SALE AND I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE NEVER FIRED IT. IT WENT IN MY TRAILER THEN INTO MY GARAGE AND GOT COVERED. BIKES CONDITION? PER THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO SAID HE REBUILT IT YEARS AGO (I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO START THIS BIKE) I CAN ONLY TELL YOU HE SAID THE CLUTCH WAS NEW WHEN HE PUT THE MOTOR IN AND THE TRANS WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE? THE MOTOR IS SUPPOSE TO OF HAD NEW BEARINGS, CAM, VALVE TRAIN. I BELIEVED HIM. BUT I CAN NOT VERIFY THIS INFO SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN RUN OR LOOKED INTO. MILEAGE SHOWS 1,691. THE FUEL TANK IS A FIBERGLASS 10 GALLON? THAT IS NOT SECURELY MOUNTED BUT HAS PETCOCKS. THIS IS A BIKE YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE ROAD WORTHY WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. THE PERIOD UN OBTAINABLE PIECES ADD TO ITS COOLNESS! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE YOU BID! MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP ANSWER WHAT I CAN. PAYMENT? MUST BE MADE IN THREE DAYS BY CASH OR WIRED FUNDS. I WILL ONLY RELEASE THE BIKE ONCE THE FUNDS HAVE CLEARED FOR PAYMENT OF THE BIKE. ONCE FUNDS CLEAR, I WILL ASAP, SEND THE BUYER THE TITLE TO THE BIKE. SHIPPING? MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP WITH BEING AVAILABLE TO HELP ASSIST THE BUYERS SELECTED SHIPPER IF NEEDED TO LOAD THE BIKE. ALL SHIPPING, INSURANCE OR ANY OTHER ITEMS RELATED TO SHIPPING THE BIKE ARE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
