Description
A collector’s and enthusiast’s dream: a BMW R27 in immaculate Condition 2!
For sale is a beautiful BMW R27 that has been completely restored, both mechanically and cosmetically. This iconic single-cylinder model, featuring the legendary rubber-mounted “floating engine,” impresses with its unbroken history, absolute originality, and the highest quality craftsmanship in its restoration.
I’ve had a great deal of enjoyment riding this motorcycle on many outings and at classic motorcycle shows, and I’m now parting with it because, due to my age, I’d like to downsize my fleet a bit.
With a late production date of 07/1966 (one of the last models built in this series), only two previous owners, and just 18,875 km on the odometer, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of German motorcycle history in collector’s condition.
