This 1965 R50/2 BMW has been professionally disassembled to the last fastener and rebuilt from the ground up. It has been test ridden to assure all is in working order. It usually starts on the first kick and runs very smooth with great original power (engine and frame numbers match). It is an enjoyable ride. Even with the rear drive being a standard ratio it hauls very well with the sidecar and passenger. The bike comes with a newer BMW tool set, riginal BMW parts manual, Clymer'sShop Manual and Hand Book, nd a Clymer's Service Manual.
All frame parts and all sheet metal are original and (including sidecar) have been powder coated black and professionally pin striped. The sidecar interior is new upholstery and carpet and a customrack is mounted on the back. The seat frame was rebuilt to tip forward for access to trunk space. The Globe sidecar frame was custom built so Steib mounts could be used and original suspension was machined for sealed roller bearings. The sidecar fender has custom LED front and rear marker lights.A Globe identification tag is on sidecar and is from is period correct (Type is GS200 with chassis number 3437 with date of manufacture unknown) and the Globe emblems are pewter castings.
