1955 BMW R67/3 US$30,000

1955 BMW R67/3Rare & Defining Variant of Post-War Era in Spectacular Form Faithfully Refurbished by Resto Guru Todd Rasmussen - One of 700 Produced.’In 1955, BMW launched an entirely new generation of motorcycles with full swinging arm suspension. The first models to appear were the R 50 and the R 69, a 500-cc tourer and a 600-cc sports model. The 600-cc tourer retained the older running gear for the moment, with telescopic fork and plunger-type rear suspension; the latest version was the R 67/3, which was launched at the same time as a replacement for the R 67/2. There were few changes, though the R 67/3 was in fact only offered for sale by the factory as a sidecar outfit. Public authorities and other official users remained loyal to the R 67/3 in this last year of production. When the R 67/3 ceased production in 1956, after 700 additional units had left the assembly line, it marked BMW’s abandonment of the plunger rear suspension principle that had been a feature of all its motorcycles since 1938?.For more information and provenance details, please call our sales team or inquire within.
