Post Listing Update: This R69S did not meet reserve with 40 bids up to $16,000.
Unofficially, the BMW R69S is easily one of the most popular motorcycles among Bike-urious readers – so I suspect this Phil Cheney-restored first-year model is going to attract some attention.
The bike is owned by Philip Richter, whose collection of 11 BMWs was featured by the Wall Street Journal last November. It’s numbers-matching and the serial numbers have been documented by the BMW Archives. After acquiring the bike in 2012, Mr. Richter had the bike restored by Phil Cheney, Master Technician at Max BMW.
This bike (VIN: 656428) shows 40,700 miles on the odometer, and the restoration included the addition of Magura levers, Albert mirrors, and Hoske exhaust pipes (originals included). The listing goes into some detail about the mechanical work of the restoration, but highlights include a sport camshaft, Magura throttle, and a rebuilt side stand.
