CLASSICS RESTORED; CONCOURS 1965 BMW R50 / 2

[@aspire2inspire732]

The complex simplicity, the excellence and attention to detail in the manufacturing creates a symphony of silkiness nearly unparalleled. Rhe lines are absolutely stunning in a curvature that just seamlessly and effortlessly flows. It truly is incredible, and with great admiration, I would dearly love to massage the roads less traveled with her. God bless you folks!

Wow, thank you!

I’ve been riding bikes for over 50 years; the R/50 was the inspiration for my obsession.

Awesome video ken

[@sissygoog9456]

It's kind of funny looking at a 1965 BMW and then looking at the brand new ones. One thing I noticed that never changed is the engines on the side but everything else is different. What a awesome looking machine old school! BMW is a really fun bike to ride sir. I had extremely good time up in americade riding the BMWs, especially the bobber. One absolutely amazing and fun. Bite the ride right there. I absolutely love your vintage motorcycles that you have amazing sir. Amazing video! Ronnie, I have a cup of tea for you😂😂

Definitely a Black Beauty. My Dad's old airline buddy was a huge BMW Motorcycle Enthusiast. He would drool over this bike!

I had a 1966 R50 that I bought from my Dad. I rode it coast to coast in 1972 when I was 18. I replaced the rear tire when I got home. It was apparently defective. I had a blowout at 70 mph between Salem and Ash Flat, Arkansas. I tried to save it but the fishtailing was too severe. We went down and I can remember wondering if I was ever going to stop rolling! The gas tank split open and doused me. I broke both collar bones and both ankles. So I couldn't walk or even wipe my ass. Embarrassing having someone do that for you. A woman who was a single Mom, 6 kids, and on welfare was behind me. She and her oldest sons picked me up and they rushed me to the ER. She paid for everything and I ended up staying at her house for 3 months, healing. My bike was stolen from the side of the road. I never saw it again. I enlisted shortly thereafter and immediately bought a Honda 500/4. I've missed that BMW ever since. What a machine!

Is there a way to tell us if the bike sold or not? We would love to plan a trip to the Museum to see it, and perhaps we could add to the provenance a bit!

Indeed, my HD stuff is history and 2 older flat twins remain along with a new, long, quiet 18

My husband is the 2nd owner of this Motorcycle. He was the one who did the restoration, and we can prove it. We have all the receipts for every brand new nut and bolt, and we have photos of the restoration process. Be sure to reach out to us if you are interested in any of the stories of buying the parts from the late Tibor Sarossy or in seeing any of the photographs of the process. There is a factory tool kit in the compartment if you look as well.

[@robinsnestresale]

Tibor Sarossy "Sarossy logged 2687 miles on the odometer of his BMW R69S, during his marathon ride from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He averaged approximately 58.7 mph, carving hours from the previous record, set in 1959 by John Penton, in 52 hr., 11 min. The record holder is a 22-year-old Hungarian, from Fairview Park, Ohio. With his family, he left his homeland after the 1956 uprising, and now is a naturalized American, majoring in mechanical engineering at Ohio State University." from Cycle World Magazine

[@robinsnestresale]

BTW Some of the restoration was done INSIDE of the apartment he lived in. When it became a rolling frame, he rolled it down the stairs from the second floor to his truck, and then over to his parent's house where he completed the restoration. I wish I could post photos here.
