This BMW R50/5 is a beautiful example of BMW’s classic airhead era. Finished in traditional black with pinstriping, it still presents largely original, from the tank and side covers to the chrome trim and switchgear.

Powered by the smooth 500cc boxer twin with shaft drive, it delivers that distinctive BMW thrum and relaxed, torquey character. The bike retains its wire wheels with large drum brakes and original style exhausts, and the tyres are in good condition.

With only 1 316 km currently showing on the clock (mileage not guaranteed), this R50/5 is a very honest, unmolested machine – ideal for the BMW enthusiast looking for a usable, collectible classic that still feels true to period.
