BMW R-Series description

Nice 1957 BMW R50 in good mechanical condition. Starts easily and runs well. Rear tire is close to new, and the front has plenty of tread, but should be replaced due to age. I bought it eleven years ago with the intention of restoring it but I decided that I like the patina and have not done anything but maintain it. It's time to thin the herd. I hate to see it go, but my piston count is ridiculously high. Looking for a good home.

In the 1950s, BMW produced a pair of scooter prototypes it called the R10. The first prototype produced in 1953 was equipped with a 175cc Single producing about 8hp while the 1954 prototype (pictured above) was equipped with a 200cc producing about 10hp.

BMW released its year-end 2012 financial report, reporting revenues of 1.49 billion euros (US$1.93 billion) from its motorcycle business in 2012, up from 1.44 billion euros in 2011. The increased revenues came in a record year for BMW with the company selling an all-time record of 106,358 motorcycles in 2012.
