1963 BMW R69S, 600cc. Registration Number ANU445A, Frame Number 657272, Engine Number 658737.
Sold with V5C, tool box key, some maintenance instructions, and a Clymer workshop manual.
From 1955 to 1969, 15,347 of these 594 cc shaft-drive, opposed twin motorcycles were built. The 42 hp R69S was produced from 1960 to 1969.
These models were designed as relatively high powered, high compression sport bikes, although the Earles fork R69 and R69S came with sidecar lugs installed on the frames.
The sport-oriented R69S, R69US, and R69 succeeded the plunger-framed 1951 to 1955 R68, which had an engine very similar to that in the later R69. Many riders at the time considered them the "rolls Royce" of motorcycles.
ANU is presented in the classic Black paint finish and is a striking example from long term ownership. It has always been ridden regularly, and was last used on the Dave Myers Hairy Biker memorial run. The vendor informs us that it rides really well, and is serviced by a reputable bike mechanic.
