Quoting from the bmwmoa.org forum:
"The F800 twin engines are BMW's design built for BMW (and only BMW) by Rotax in Austria. The F series thumper engine was also built by Rotax and was based on a Rotax design which was common to Aprillia as well. Since being rebranded the G
series, those engines are now built by BMW in China."

This one, I stared at for a long time:
H-D-ladne-TS.htm
Those "Germans" are riding Indians or HDs (my American ID skills are limited, but the GMC M3 Scout cars in the background are a certainty, and they are headed in the same direction). Such a weird photo - were they training? Was it normal to "slide in?" They MUST have been leaking fuel... but what else could you do?
Anyway, thanks!

Parts of BMW R 75
Engine and frame parts 1943
I need parts from BMW R75.
Argentina -Buenos Aires-
Nov 2009
Good morning - it took me 18 mths to re furb my 1960 r60 as it I bought it from our p.m.e.a. Club treasurer - graham dawson - he bought it from another club member - neither used it for many yrs. , So it was corroded - esp. The frame . It
has matching frame + motor s/n - so thats good .
So I cannot claim a complete motor . Trans. Overhaul - on the motor all I did was fit new rings and the usual valve grind / de coke .
But I had to strip the entire bike down so the panel beater could attack all the dings and prepare it for repainting - I replaced most of the bolts / nuts with p.s.s. Ones from vech in sturgis ms. He has been a very
great help technically as he runs a classic bmw o/h shop there . He also has many good mod. Kits such as the s.s. Prop stand / easy clutch etc.
Don't let anyone tell you that some components are not available - vech has them !
The shot of it bare - is frame alignment checking - good to know its bent before you refurb or o/h ! - Hope I am not choking yr computer . If so , just tell me to buzz off - us old a+ps have very thick skin . Feel free to send shots of yrs now .
After the first few wks graham dawson loaned me his 1961 r60/2 to copy off - so I did some o/h + refurb work on it to repay him - so it was here also for 18 mths. - I told him I was stripping all the good bits offa his for mine !
My r60 is on the right - have many other detailed shots - pls ask if they might help . G.d. Has kept his bike more original than mine .
No 1 thing is , there are quite a few differences in the r60 and the /2 - esp. In the barrels / pistons / conrods / carbies. Etc.- so be very careful buying any spares .
I bought a bmw factory manual + componentry book from vech and have never regretted it - as he also works with exact p/n of spares - not just the yr of the bike - I also always tell him the frame + motor s/n .
Our ex pmea club treasurer - john dunphy in coooriobah qld., has r 50 under refurb + many other bmws - you may see him at rallies . Also club member billy stammers has an unusual r60 which has been converted to gearshift on right - he also does all the rallies . Our top rider is frank craw - 82 - and rides a r69s - also 1917 h.d. - But his buddy ken affleck tops that , as he is 92 and rides one owner 1936 r5 - now being refurbed by the famous adrian vergison in syd. He is the top classic bmw / zundapp guy nowadays in syd.
Another excellent guy in our club is clive weiss - he has r60us with 260,000 miles on it - so I take notice of him - he also builds complex things like classic bike fuel tanks .
Was talking to chris henderson in shepparton - he also is under way with his r60/2 o/h - he got it from gosford - and has found that the left hand barrels are different to the right hand barrels / pistons - great ! Some clown does not know there are differences in r60 and /2 in gosford - so beware the grey haired guy that is supposed to know all about classic bmw !
There are good supply shops in germany also - uli + stemmler etc - have not bought anything from them yet - and there is munich motors in perth - also helpful guys .
I would like to offer any assistance I can on the o/h of yr r60/2 - do not hesitate to ask pls . - Thanx j.c.

clunky gear shifting
BMW 1955 R69
in regards to 1955-1969 twins I purchased mine in 1980 so I have been riding it for almost 30 years and yes at the begining it was noisy when shifting gears upwards. I didnt like the CLUNK so after some experimenting I found out that if I
changed gears in TWO SHORT STEPS instead of a long single one the noise was almost totally gone.
I am 66 and was not interested in computers until one of my sons showed me one bike just like mine in a movie, muffler noise included and when not able to ride because of the weather I now navigate motorcycles in the web and
have found your pages and images most interesting. Great work. I hope other 1955-1969 Beemer riders would like to try my way of gear shifting.

I've not ridden a /2 for some years (tho I have a very sad one in the garage, just recently acquired) but as I recall, yes, that's the way I used to shift them too. Ed.

Dellorto Carburator
PHM38 Dellorto (BD)
I have two of these carbs on my 77 BMW R100RS Motorcycle, and my Brother just parked it in his yard back in 1994. I bought it 2 years ago, and I am sure they need to be rebuilt so I can get the bike running again. He said they are very good
racing carbs, so I would like to keep them. Do you have any information on where to find rebuild kits for them, or any other instructions on how to do this? I am a "Do it yourselfer", but will take it in if I have to. Any feedback would be
helpful, thank you.
Los Angeles, Ca, USA
An early RS fitted with these carbs probably also has larger valves - it was one of the fastest bikes BMW had ever made, and was practically unbeatable over any distance on the road with a capable rider. It was also extremely handsome. I once averaged over 100mph travelling from Bathurst to Forbes via Canowindra (which included a fair stretch of dirt) on one of these bahnstormers. When I pulled up at the Forbes airport, the discs matched the calipers - they had blued from the heat!

BMW R 32
Hello !
I have just published a book about BMW flat-twins for which I did a lot of research, and I can strongly state that the first BMW motorcycle was NOT shown at the 1923 Paris Salon, contrary to popular belief : no BMWs were shown in Paris
before 1927 in retaliation for the Great War ! The R 32 was first shown at the Berlin Show in 1923, even BMW now admit this.

[In answer to the quiz for joining the forums]
Hi there,
I dont know the answer to your questions but Im a true classic motorcycle fan and I currently own a BMW R90S -75 in Daytona Orange. Im also a collector of Villiers engined Norman motorcycles made in Ashford, England and I have about five
or six of them at the moment depending on how you count :-)
I also have an Ariel 500 cc Red Hunter from the early fifties thaths been in a fire so its a demanding project that I havent started yet. I used to ride a BSA Spitfire 650 -68 and a Vincent Comet 500cc -51 aswell but now Im happy with my
good old Beemer.
The reason I found this forum is because I bought a strange motorcycle
this summer and I dont know what it is, no badges or any thing. It looks very German with an ILO 175 engine and rigid rear end but the most intresting part is the telescopic front fork who have two rubberbands behind the headlight instead of
the conventional springs

Side for motorbike Bmw R71 (year 1938)
I think may be similar to Steib TR 500
Hello,
My name's Alessandro from Udine (Italy) I have a Motorbike Bmw R71 of the 1938, but the side I think is not original, so I need some informations and documentations for to find the correct side. I think that the correct side may be similar
to the Steib TR 500 but I'm not sure.
Plese help me
Best regards
Alessandro

I have found some of the photos of my motorbike which I send you with attachements. The motorbike is a BMW R71 (produced in 1938).
I know that there is a lot of pieces not original but I would like to restore them. I have just bought all the pieces that I must change. The side is the Staib one (on the right side there is stamped "Steib"). The side has many of pieces broken and not original and that is why I would like to know:
1) what type of side is the correct one for my Bmw R71 (1938), is it possible that it is a Steib TR 500, it is very similar.
2) How and where could I find the new pieces of the side that I must changed
3) If there is any photo of my side that is correct for my motorbike with some details like frame, fender, lights, seat, wheel and brake (I don't know if there is a brake also on the wheel's side or not)
Thanks for your help
Regards
Alessandro

BMW R 75 wermacht manual
In 1948 we bought an R75 and used it until the mid '50s. I found a factory parts manual and copied it on 35 mm film. If it is of any value to anyone, contact me. The original manual has suffered water damage, but the film is good.

According to chromeheads.org (see below) the machine was not for sale when displayed in the US in about 2001. Two sources indicate that it may have been built as a concept bike by BMW.

In 1939, the Germans moved BMW's motorcycle assembly plant from Munich to Eisenach in order to build airplane engines in the Munich plant. At the end of the war, Eisenach ended up in the Soviet sector. In the plant were many unbuilt motorcycles, including the R35s. The Soviets took these parts and built the first BMWs to be produced after the war, renaming them EMW
The SR 1200 C Troika concept sidecar was displayed at several US trade shows on the West Coast in about 2001, and was used in TV commercials including one for mobile phones using twins.advertisements. I recall a cellular phone
advertisement with a set of twins. At the time it was not for sale in the US, but if it was it would have cost around twice the price of the solo.
Cobbled together from information found at chromeheads.org.
Images of the Troika are in this gallery: BMW 2000 on
