BMW R-Series description

1966 BMW R27, 250cc single, VIN# 380737 (VIN, engine, and ID tag all match), mileage 26,890,  and it's in excellent original condition. The bike was first sold in early 1967 and it has a clear 1967 Florida title. Reason for selling:  making room in my collection for some new additions. You can see my other auction item, a 1957 Triumph TRW.

The bike's history as it was told to me when I purchased it:
 I'm the 3rd owner.  The bike's 1st owner traded it in at Bob's BMW in Jessup, Maryland in 2003. The 2nd owner purchased the bike from Bob's BMW on 11/19/03.  The bike comes with the bill of sale from Bob's BMW which states the bike was serviced, was running great, and had 26,890 miles on it at time.  It also shows that the bike was shipped to the 2nd owner in Miami, FL at the time of the sale.  The 2nd owner kept it on display and never rode it. When I purchased it, it still showed 26,890 miles and I also placed it in my collection without starting it. 

Please note the German porcelain Badge/Emblem that the original owner placed on the gas tank. It was interpreted for me as,  "German Maritime Search and Rescue Service". 

This is a no reserve auction so please look at all the pictures and ask any questions before you bid. The bike is available for showing by appointment before the auction ends.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. The bike is sold as-is with no warranty offered or implied. A $500 non refundable PayPal deposit is due within 48 hours from the end of the auction and full payment is due within 7 days from the end of the auction.

The R1200RT has gone liquid cooled, inheriting the new boxer engine with BMW’s “precision cooling” technology from the new R1200GS. But that’s not all that’s changed on the RT as Editor-in-Chief Kevin Duke points out in the video below from the 2013 EICMA show floor. With a new K1600GT-inspired look, more power and a number of factory-installed options, one of our favorite touring bikes is better than ever.   Get the Flash Player to see this player.
