Its initial and concluding paragraphs read: Ask any motorcyclist what he considers to be the two-wheeled equivalent of the Rolls-Royce and you will almost certainly be told BMW. That answer will not be too far wrong, either, except that the products coming from the Bayerische Motoren Werke incorporate a good deal more in advanced engineering features than the famous English car. Actually, the BMW motorcycle is more like the Mercedes than a Rolls-Royce: conservative in many respects, but quite advanced nonetheless. In any case, the BMW has attributes that make it unique, and it has acquired a reputation that makes it a prestige motorcycle - even among people who ordinarily don't give two wheelers a second glance...Whatever the BMW's merits are in a contest of speed, it is still the smoothest, best finished, quietest and cleanest motorcycle it has ever been our pleasure to ride. To be honest, we think that anyone who would worry much over its performance-potential is a bit of a booby. The R69S is fast enough to handle any encounter, and it has attributes that are, in touring, infinitely more valuable than mere speed. All things considered, if we were planning a two-wheel style tour, the BMW would have to be our choice of mount. \\ \\The beautiful R69S offered here is the culmination of one man's dream, and one wife's nightmare! Warned by his wife that he'd perhaps surpassed his motorcycling days, the previous owner assumed that a sidecar outfit would be the acceptable compromise. He was wrong. After many months of searching, the vendor eventually sourced his desired matching numbers R69S in Ireland. \\ \\This bike benefitted from being offered in Class 1 condition following a re-spray with correct re-striping, re-ground piston ring valves, stainless steel exhaust system, chromed steel wheel rims, stainless steel spokes and a believed genuine 34,137 miles at the time of his purchase. \\ \\Furthermore, this bike sports the slightly larger Schorsch Meier touring fuel tank, electronic ignition system and twin seat. Upon import, a beautiful and matching coloured Steib sidecar was ordered and bespoke built to fit the R69S at a cost of more than £6,000. In total, the project costed the previous owner in ...
