Post-Listing Update: This R69S was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown.

From a 1962 review in Cycle World:

“Whatever the BMW’s merits 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 vacation/tour, the BMW would have to be our choice of mount.”

This numbers-matching example has lots of goodies – a large tank, tach, hard bags, spot light/mirror, bar end signals…the list goes on. The bike was restored by Vech at Bench Mark Works and everything from the crank up was rebuilt in the engine.
