1967 R50/2 BMW – totally rebuilt by Brooks Motor Works

One of the finest long distance road bikes ever made. Totally gone over by Kevin Brooks, of Brooks Motor Works in Olympia, WA - one of the finest BMW wrenches around. Kevin owns Bonneville speed records for making the traditionally slow yet over-engineered motorcycles go much faster without sacrificing the reliability that makes BMW the state-of-the-touring art choice for those who know. The following is what Kevin did to "Hans". I am selling with great regret as Hans was my trusty steed prepared to take me on a cross-country trip a couple of years ago, yet family health issues changed everything at the last minute. Hans has been in the family for over 30 years. Now he needs a new family.

So be it...

...Hans has only been ridden an est. 500 miles since the extensive upgrades from Kevin.
