BMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines and produced their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. Introduced in 1956, the R26 BMW model was fitted with a tuned version of the earlier R25 single-cylinder 250cc engine and pivoted-fork front and rear springing similar to that previously confined to the R50 and the R69.

This beautifully presented R26 was imported from South Africa in 2016 and restored to a very high standard, keeping a high degree of originality, by the previous owner. It comes supplied with lots of paperwork including receipts for thousands of pounds spent with Ulis in Germany, a workshop manual and is UK registered on a current V5C.
