This 1967 BMW R60/2 is a beautifully restored classic motorcycle that blends vintage charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. The bike underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2016, and has been primarily displayed by its current owner since acquiring it in November 2021. Finished in sleek black with white pinstripes, this 594cc opposed twin motorcycle is equipped with various enhancements that improve both performance and aesthetics, including 18” alloy rims, dual Bing carburetors, a Pagusa solo seat, a removable passenger pillion, and LED taillights. It's now offered for sale on dealer consignment with a clean New Mexico title.
During the restoration, the frame and bodywork were refinished in black with white pinstripes, giving the bike a sharp, eye-catching look. A replacement rear fender was installed, and rust repairs were completed on the Sport fuel tank, maintaining the bike's classic appearance while ensuring it remains in top condition. The Pagusa solo seat is complemented by a removable passenger pillion, adding versatility and comfort for long rides.
The R60/2 rides on 18” alloy rims with wire-spoke wheels and drum-brake hubs, fitted with Heidenau tires for reliable grip. Suspension duties are handled by the Earles fork in the front, while dual shocks on the swingarm provide smooth rear suspension, ensuring a comfortable ride. Modern bar-end turn signals, mounted on a chrome cross-braced handlebar, give the bike a contemporary touch, while maintaining its vintage style.
The 594cc opposed twin engine, originally rated at 30 horsepower, was meticulously resealed and restored. Key work included honing the cylinders, replacing piston rings, and cleaning the oil slingers for optimal performance. The twin Bing carburetors were rebuilt, and a re-plated dual exhaust system enhances both the bike's performance and exhaust sound. The engine also includes a new oil temperature dipstick for improved monitoring during rides.
Power is sent to the rear wheel via a four-speed transmission and a reliable driveshaft system, ensuring smooth and efficient power delivery. Additional features include a high aftermarket windshield for wind protection and painted, locking Enduro pannier bags, which provide added cargo capacity for longer journeys.
With just 35k miles on the odometer (though total mileage is unknown), this 1967 BMW R60/2 offers an excellent blend of classic motorcycle history and modern upgrades. It's the perfect choice for collectors or riders who appreciate vintage style with the functionality of contemporary improvements. This stunning machine is ready to be enjoyed, whether displayed or ridden.
