Description

This numbers-matching restored R60/2 is a truly iconic post-war motorcycle that features a 4-speed transmission, and is finished in period-correct Avus Black paint with painstakingly hand-painted white pinstripes on the fenders and gas tank for a true, classic look. The /2 series with its Earles Forks has become one of the most collectible post-World War II BMWs, giving the old Beemer a steady and reassuring ride.

Restored by Classic Showcase, this classic bike runs just as wonderfully as it looks! The restoration process was started by analyzing the bike, then carefully disassembling it before painting, rebuilding, and replacing parts where needed. The BMW was stripped to bare metal, then metal finished, painted, wet sanded and buffed to the beautiful, sleek Black finish you see today. Britework was performed throughout, the brakes and forks were serviced, electrical was gone through, and the mechanicals were serviced and updated as needed. The bike’s speedometer and Bing carburetors were rebuilt, and a host of new parts were purchased and added, including hardware, new fuel lines, frame mounted air pump, battery, battery box, a new period-correct Steiger seat, and more.

The bike includes a tool roll that you can keep securely in the built-in, lockable storage box inside the side of the gas tank, a luggage rack for extra cargo, and original turn signal assemblies on the end of the handlebars.

This BMW R60/2 is now ready for a multitude of uses, from riding on your favorite roads, or showing at classic Motorcycle shows and events. Regardless of use, this investment grade BMW is sure to make an excellent addition to the new or seasoned motorcycle collector’s stable of classic motorcycles!”

History

In 1961, BMW upgraded the engine of their 600 cc R60 boxer twin and added a /2 to the designation. The /2 series with its Earles Fork has become one of the most collectable post-World War II BMWs. Production continued through 1969, although telescopic fork bikes were produced concurrently near the end of the production run.
