The Model R50 is a motorcycle produced by BMW in the second half of the 1950s with a 2-cylinder four-stroke OHV boxer engine. It is the basic model of a series of largely identical touring and sports motorcycles with different powerful engines, which the article with the technical data represents as a whole. The predecessor of the R50 was the BMW R 51/3 model with a rated output of 18kW, with telescopic fork and straight path suspension. The R50 built from 1955 onwards differed from it by the full swingarm chassis with pushed long swingarm and rear swingarm as well as encapsulated suspension and the slightly increased engine power to 19kW.
This BMW is a recent shed discovery. As can be seen in the photographs the R50 is mostly complete with some spares. In current ownership since 1983, this machine is sold as a restoration project and some spares strictly as viewed in the online images.
