Topic: Hey BMW guys...

Can anyone tell me what year/model this BMW is ?     The image is labeled as a 1960 R50s.   Gotta be an earlier model correct ?     Damn, those germans sure had strong design skills.   So much cool stuff going on with this one.  I've been starting to lean toward vintage BMWs for a few years now.  I think I may be in trouble.

looks to me like a late 30's  R17 .  its times like this you miss uncle ernie , he would know for sure
i have a thing for older bm's as well , own a 71 R75 / 5 which i love and was just outbid at the stafford auction for a 1960 R69 . next year i will try harder !

It's one of my dreams to someday have a garage full of old Beemers, CB's, and Guzzi's, especially the late 70's and early 80's Guzzi's

I really like the 1993 Guzzi Lemans 1000S



Sorry for the hijack GJ....

Huge bike auction coming up in January in LasVegas.    If ever there was a time when the buyer held the cards this is it.   

I'll keep checking in - somebody will figure it out before I do...

You might post that over at adv forum in oldskool section. Someone there will know exactly what it is.

 There is a nice 77 r100s for sale locally.. 6500 or 6K.. red smoke paint..

[greenjeans]

Yeah, I saw that one.    I snoozed on a 75 R90s last year - I keep kicking myself.

There are actually 2 auctions in Vegas running the same weekend (Jan 12-14)   This could be a perfect storm.
One the one hand, there is lots of stupid money in vegas, on the other - 2 auctions running at the same time thins the crowd.    I went to the auction at Barber this year and was shocked to see how low some of the bikes went for.
