BMW R-Series description

I am selling this bike for a friend/neighbor who does not have an Ebay account.

This is a pristine 1962 R 50  BMW.  It has been owned by a BMW collector for over 20 years.  It has had only three owner over it's life and all were friends who lived in Arizona. The bike has only 24K miles, all local Arizona miles. 

The bike was resored about ten years ago by Iron Hourse BMW in Tucson, Arizona.  In the last 20 years it has only traveled about 1000 miles.  Recently the bike has received new Avon tires and stainless rims, new bearings and brakes, rebuilt Bing carbs, new Pagusa seats and the  tank was repainted and striped.  The bike was converted to 12 volts about one year ago.

I have personally ridden this bike and can state that it starts easily, and runs smooth and straight.   Everything works and there are no issues.One of the best R 50's around.

Ohlins Issues Recall Notice For BMW S1000RR And R1200R Steering Dampers

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Ohlins is issuing a recall notice for select aftermarket steering dampers for the BMW S1000RR and R1200R. The company believes the bracket holding the damper in place to be improperly machined, and a probable material defect in the aluminum alloy could cause stress fractures. Ohlins states that although “there is no risk for losing control during normal riding,” there is a risk the bracket will fail during slow-speed maneuvers, where the bars are turned at maximum steering angle.

Ridden: BMW R1200GS Adventure

Fri, 07 Oct 2011

My first meeting with a BMW GS was an unfortunate one. It was going back a few years now (certainly pre-Charlie McGregor era) Having just picked up this new model, I’d ridden 100 miles on a warm summer’s evening to reach my house by dusk. Mindful of the fact that said house contained two frenetic, bark-happy border collies and a small, sleeping child, I cut the ignition, whipped the clutch in and planned a gentle coast up to the area outside my front door.

Capirex’s New Ride: the BMW M MotoGP Safety Car

Wed, 11 Apr 2012

Retired racer Loris Capirossi has been named BMW M MotoGP Expert, representing the official MotoGP safety car provider in the world championship. Since retiring from racing after the 2011 MotoGP season Capirossi has been serving as MotoGP’s Safety Adviser. That, plus his familiarity with the MotoGP paddock and its racing circuits, makes him the logical choice as an ambassador for BMW M, the German manufacturer’s racing-performance subsidiary.
