Please note: The seller is managing the sale of this collection on behalf of the owner’s estate. He has represented each bike to the best of his ability and will be unable to provide further history or supporting documentation. The bike does not currently run and the seller cannot confirm mechanical condition. He has provided a walk around video and is selling the bike as-is. A local dealership will be providing the Bill of Sale; all fees (with the exception of Iconic’s buyer’s fee) and taxes will be accounted for by the dealer.
BMW has long been in the touring game and the R60 and R60/2 help solidify the reputation of long-distance reliability by their run from 1956 to 1969. This fact became undeniable when Danny Liska took an R60/2 from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in the early 1960s.
A twin-loop steel tubular frame housed the Beemer’s 30-horsepower, 600cc air-cooled twin which Cycle magazine noted lead to a smooth and comfortable ride in their October 1965 review. The R60/2, like many BMW models of its day, was designed to pull a side car and had mounting points built into the frame. It also featured the innovated Earles forks and the rare-for-its-day shaft final drive. For a deep drive on all the subtle eccentricities of these classic machines over the years, check out Jeff Dean’s comprehensive site here.
