Based largely on the R26, in 1960 the R27’s engine pumped out 18hp, the highest ever for a shaft-drive BMW single. BMW manufactured 15,364 R27 models over the production years of 1960 to 1966. BMW did things differently from other manufacturers. This is evident in the R27. Its enclosed shaft final drive is rare for a single-cylinder motorcycle. But it also had a triangulated Earles front fork (named after English designer Ernest Earles).

Declared first registered in 1961 and originating in the Palmers Green area of London with the first owner, Mitchell Erskine Ltd, the R27 stayed in London before making it to Kent in 1963, followed by ownership in Berkshire, Wiltshire, Northumberland and later Derbyshire since the mid 1980s. It is lovely to see this R27 is offered with an original R27 Instruction Manual and a BMW factory-produced Repair Manual. Also accompanying the Munich machine are a couple of spare parts books, a collection of old tax discs dating back to 1971, old MOT certificates, a buff logbook plus two old blue V5s. Understood to have not been run in the last 18 months '1994 MT' has been in current family ownership since 1986 and is offered with a current V5C Registration Document.
