You are looking at a 1969 BMW R50/2. With its classic lines, piano black paintwork and traditional layout, you’d be forgiven for thinking this 490cc BMW motorcycle is from the 1930s, not the acid-tripping late 1960s. This bike features the famous BMW flat-twin ‘boxer’ engine and a shaft-drive, which is features that are found on BMW bikes today. At the time, a BMW motorcycle was considered the ‘thinking man’s bike’, providing reliable, low-maintenance transport for the connoisseur, or a tough workhorse for sidecar duty. But performance from a machine like the R50/2 wasn’t bad, since it wasn’t a lot different from a Bonneville or BSA of the day. I am selling this for a friend, so if you have any questions feel free to call him at 813-506-4121. The VIN numbers on this bike match. So frame, engine and VIN plate all match and yes there is a title for the bike. The engine does not turn over, since she has been parked since the 1980's. This is one that would make a perfect restoration candidate. I am going to let the slideshow and pictures do the talking. But if you have any concerns or questions please ask before bidding as I will be happy to answer them. Check out the 40 picture slideshow I provided in the listing. I am selling this for a friend at a NO RESERVE starting at one dollar, so don't miss out. This is a NO RESERVE auction. No warranties expressed or implied , and a as is where is sale. Feel free to have the motorcycle inspected if you like. All sales are final and full payment is due within 7 days after the auction has ended. Buyer must also contact me within 2 days after the auction has ended to set up a time for payment and pickup. Bike must be picked up in Tampa FL. She can sit here for as long as you need, but the bike will still have to be paid for in full within the 7 days. Please look at all of the pictures, including the slideshow and ask all questions before bidding as I will be happy to answer them. Thank you and happy bidding!
