Vehicle Description
"By 1960, new investment and management had revitalized BMW and the
company introduced four new motorcycles including the R50/2. Inside
the air-cooled, overhead-valve, horizontally opposed 494cc twin,
key components such as the crankshaft and camshaft were
strengthened, hardened chrome piston rings were added, and
ventilation of the crankcase and transmission was improved." -

This 1966 BMW R50/2 was fully restored by well-known BMW motorcycle
restorer Tim Stafford.
This BMW motorcycle is refinished in its original color of Dover
White with all matching identification numbers. With only 400 miles
since restoration the 494cc fully rebuilt engine starts easily and
comes to a smooth idle. The 4-speed transmission shifts well with
help from the cable operated clutch. Using the revolutionary front
dual cartridge shocks and rear swing arm suspension this motorcycle
cruises comfortably coming to a quick stop using the drum
brakes.
This 1966 BMW R50/2 is in excellent condition and will go well with
any classic motorcycle owner's collection.
