1968 BMW R-Series

664225

This 1968 "Granada Red" BMW R69US is a collector's dream bike. In 1968 BMW in Germany made 25 Red ones, at the factory, and again sent 25 to the States in '69. I have never seen another one this nice and I have been following these R69's on eBay for many years. R69US has 42 HP @ 7000 rpm vs. an R60US @ 30 HP @ 5800 rpm. You will not find a nicer vintage Beemer anywhere. Totally refurbished by 2nd owner by Blue Moon Cycle in Georgia. I purchased the bike in March '10 from Blue Moon. http://www.bluemooncycle.com/ It spent the winter at MAX BMW in NH getting some additional work done: 1)New pushrod tube seals. 2) All related top end gaskets and seals; 3) Torqued heads and adjusted valves; 4) Replaced pinion seal for final drive; 5) Upgraded LED taillight; 6) New battery; 7) New tires. 8) All new fluids; Relined Gas Tank. http://www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com/index.html This bike is a keeper! When you drive it people notice and it rides unbelievably nice! I want to sell because I do not get enough time to ride it. I didn't buy it to look at it. I have a detailed history of its 2 previous owners, that details all the work in refurbishing it to concourse level. I can email to you upon request. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I will assist your efforts the best I can to facilitate the transaction. Thank you for looking!
