The BMW R60, a beloved icon from the German manufacturer's post-war era, represents a pinnacle of motorcycle engineering and design. Introduced in 1956, the R60 was part of BMW's "slash 2" series, renowned for its robust shaft drive, Earles fork front suspension, and horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine. These motorcycles were celebrated for their reliability, smooth ride, and touring capabilities, quickly becoming the preferred choice for long-distance riders and police forces worldwide. The R60, specifically, was powered by a 594cc engine, delivering a modest but capable 30 horsepower, perfectly suited for comfortable cruising and dependable performance across varied terrain. Its enduring legacy is a testament to BMW's commitment to quality and innovation during a transformative period for motorcycling. This particular 1964 BMW R60, however, has been reimagined into a custom build that pushes the boundaries of its classic roots. While retaining the unmistakable silhouette of its era, this R60 now boasts a significantly uprated 898cc engine, paired with its original manual transmission, promising a dramatic increase in both power and presence. Showing a mere 99 miles on the odometer since its transformation, this is a virtually fresh build, finished in a captivating custom livery that demands attention. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the carefully selected components to the flawless execution of its unique aesthetic. This R60 Custom offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of BMW's rich heritage, reinterpreted for the modern enthusiast seeking a distinctive and powerful ride.
