BMW R 50/2 – Year of manufacture 1966 – matching numbers – documented South African history

For sale is my BMW R 50/2, first registered on 01/07/1966.

The motorcycle originally came from South Africa and was imported into Germany in 1997. The BMW has been in my possession since 1999.

Of particular interest is the documentation from South Africa that is still available. In the vehicle documents from that time, the engine and chassis numbers are each entered as 642850. The matching numbers are therefore documented by the historical documents. The German vehicle documents are also available.

The BMW is in an honest and well-maintained classic vehicle condition, with age-appropriate patina. It has not been restored to a high-gloss finish. The tank was repainted once over the years.

The motorcycle has an electronic ignition and has received new tires.

Due to the age of the vehicle, the actual total mileage cannot be determined beyond doubt. Therefore, no verified total mileage is stated. The current odometer reading can of course be viewed during the inspection.

The main inspection (TÜV) will be renewed before handover.

After more than 25 years in my possession, I have made the difficult decision to sell it. Due to my age and back problems, I am increasingly finding it difficult to mount and dismount safely.

I would be delighted if the BMW found a good home and a new owner who will enjoy a classic BMW motorcycle with a special and documented history.

Viewing possible by prior arrangement.

Price: €10,500 negotiable

Private sale excluding liability for material defects. No warranty and no returns.
