Here we have a nicely restored 1954 BMW R68 - This machine was restored by a previous owner to a good quality. It features matching frame and engine numbers from the factory and an original set of rare optional Kronprinz "no-lip" aluminum alloy rims recently restored by Buchannan Spoke and Rim along with new Metzeler Block C 3.50 x 19" tires. Correct 1/26/9 & 1/26/10 carburators as well. I went over this motorcycle and corrected a few things after receiving it for a client, in doing that I noticed that some previous owner had welded a flat tab onto the frame on both sides rearward of the seat - perhaps for some other type f seat mounting? Who knows. The bike runs well and has no issues that I know of. A perfectionist will have a few things to do to make it 100% - but that's part of the fun! The R68 is one of, if not the most desirable plunger twin made after the war. It is certainly the fastest one. Have a look, ask some questions and take a swing at this rare machine - you don't see R68's for sale often.
