Post Listing Update: The listing was removed.
The R50S was the little brother of the legendary R69S, and it was a relatively rare motorcycle in BMW’s history as just 1,634 were produced 1960 and 1962. In 1981, one of those few were turned into a chopper, and it served as a daily rider until recently. I’m almost speechless.
The bike is said to run well, however the transmission seal and tires will need to be replaced. According to the seller, while the motor is from a R50S it now utilizes 600cc pistons and jugs. The gauges aren’t connected so the speedo/odo don’t work but it’s got a clear Ohio title and it’s ready to ride. I should note that the front timing cover has been engraved with German WWII insignia so you may want to stash that and source a replacement when you ride it around.
