Description


This is a 1960 R60 BMW motorcycle. It was titled as a 1961 but the VIN (621300) identifies it as a 1960. I bought this from a man in May 2011 that inherited it from his father who had passed away. His father had bought it June of 1969. That is as far back as I can find its history. It was stored in his father’s garage and had not been running since 1985. I changed all the fluids and tires. I replaced the ignition coil and cleaned the carburetors. I replaced the fuel shut off with and aftermarket one. I also installed an aftermarket point’s conversion kit that uses the old GM adjustable points. I have repacked the wheel bearings and replaced some of the hardware with stainless steel purchased from Bench Mark Works. I also installed an OEM turn signal switch. I replaced the seat cover with an after market one. It came with an upper and lower Wixom Faring. I only set the lower faring on for the picture and have never installed it on the motorcycle but I believe all the hardware is there. The lower faring does have some damage but has been repaired. The motorcycle does have some minor surface rust on the fenders, rame and some of the chrome is pitted. I used the motorcycle for riding and not restoration. I have put about 2000 miles on it since I owned it. The pictures accurately show the condition with minor surface rust. The pin stripping is worn off on some parts of the fuel tank and I believe the rest of the bike is all the original paint and pin stripping. The saddle bags were white when I purchased the motorcycle so I painted them black. The same VIN 621300 is on three locations on the bike. I have what I believe to be the original tool kit for the motorcycle. I have tried to represent the motorcycle as best as possible and welcome an inspection by any potential buyer. Please ask any questions you might have and I will answer them as best I can. The motorcycle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to close the auction. I can be reached from 10AM to 9PM EST 440-812-1335. No texts please. I am selling the motorcycle as is where is. Buyer is responsible for shipping and I can assist if needed.
