Award Winning Restoration – 1955 BMW R50

In Germany, Standard by AbhiLeave a Comment

This R50 was given a ‘ground-up restoration’ in 2008 and it has 3,500 miles on the odometer since the work was performed. The bike won Best in Class and Best in Show at the 2012 Dayton Concours d’Elegance and followed that up with an “Award of Excellence” at the same show the next year.

Find it for sale in Centerville, Ohio here on Craigslist for $15,000. That’s a lot of money for an R50, but I’ve now seen a couple of restored examples with similar asking prices…now we just need to find out what the actual sale prices were.
