The R50/5 is already fairly rare (at least compared to other /5 bikes). For example, 38,370 examples of the R75/5 were built, while only 7,865 examples of the 500cc bike were built. This example is even rare as it was part of a small batch of bikes special ordered by the Belgian government “in order to be used for military convoys, but also for escorting official visits…” The seller checked the oil and threw in a new battery and fresh gas and it was said to fire up instantly and run strong. The odometer shows 30,118 miles but the history of the bike is unknown. It has all the police equipment – lights and sirens – but they were disconnected when the bike was decommissioned.
