Post Sale Update: This R69S sold for $15,100 after 13 bids on eBay.
If you wanted to avoid gas stations on your classic BMW, then Karl Heinrich was one of very few people you wanted to talk to. He designed a few different sizes ranging from about 8-10 gallons – here’s a 8.2 gallon tank that’s turned a R69S into a whale. The R69S is already valuable, and the Heinrich tank just pushes the sale price even higher. Throw in the fact that this bike has just 1,240 miles on it after a restoration and you shouldn’t be surprised that bidding is up to $14,600 with 5 days still left to go in the auction…
This example (VIN: 663990) shows 20,365 miles on the odometer, but just 1,240 of those are post restoration. The seller says it starts easy and runs great, and that it would make a great road or show bike. Unfortunately, he has to sell due to health issues.
