1960 BMW R50/2 R50 R 50 50/2, sidecar lugs, matching numbers and paperwork

We have the listing set up to accept bids only from US bidders in an effort to prevent scammers from ruining the auction. If you are a legitimate bidder outside of the US and you have a way to have the bike picked up at our location without it being crated e-mail Chris at chris@motoworkschicago.com. Provide him with your ebay ID and confirm that you can arrange international shipping and have the bike picked up uncrated at our location in Chicago and he will add you to the list that allows you to bid.

This is a 1960 BMW R50 with matching engine and frame numbers and a clean title. It obviously needs some parts and some love but it is a great start to creating the /2 of your dreams. The crankshaft spins freely in the engine.

The bike is located at Motoworks in the city of Chicago. If you are local and would like to see it in person please call 312-878-8711 to set up an appointment.
