BMW introduced the range-leading R69 in 1955 to universal praise. The new machine was able to approach the best of the British twins in terms of outright performance with the 594cc horizontally opposed overhead valve engine delivering 35bhp at 6,800rpm, sufficient to propel the machine to 102 mph, but more importantly, was able to sustain its pace almost indefinitely. 1960 witnessed the release of an improved version typed the R69S which developed more BHP (42 at 7,000rpm) without compromising the machines outstanding reliability.
An iconic 1963 BMW R69S, this machine has been cared for by its previous owner during his ownership. The engine has been changed some time ago and replaced with an engine built by an ex BMW specialist and side care racer using Kayser cylinders and FATH valve springs, it is not known when this was changed. We have been informed that the BMW runs very well. It is offered complete with its original RF60 logbook, Current V5C, some old MOT certificates, receipts from Tintern Garage, Monmouthshire, relating to ‘879 SVO’, also receipts for parts. A very interesting machine with a nice history. The engine has been changed from 655228 to 21056DD.
