1965 BMW 594cc R69SRegistration no. EHT 356CFrame no. 660233Engine no. 660233In the early 1950s BMW concentrated on refining what were essentially pre-war designs, but by 1955 was ready with a brace of new machines: the R50 and R69. Of 500cc and 600cc respectively, the newcomers inherited the updated, flat-twin engine introduced on the R51/3 a few years previously but deployed this in all-new cycle parts, the most notable departures from preceding practice being the Earles-type, leading-link front fork and swing-arm rear suspension enclosing the drive-shaft in the right leg. A luxury tourer capable of over 100mph, the R69 cost as much as a small family car and sold to discerning enthusiasts for whom expense mattered little when set against the excellence of BMW engineering. The R50/69 were produced until the arrival of the slightly more powerful 'S' versions for 1961. The larger of these, the R69S, produced 42bhp and was good for a top speed of around 110mph. 'Luxury roadster with superb high-speed performance yet docile traffic manners; magnificent steering, roadholding and brakes,' was Motor Cycle magazine's verdict. A lovely unmolested example, this highly original R69S was purchased by the vendor in 1966 and has covered only some 5,000-or-so miles, most of them on three trips to the Isle of Man TT races. Presented in 'oily rag' condition, the machine will require re-commissioning before further use (the engine turns over). Offered with an old-style V5C document.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1976 Harley-Davidson 998cc XLCR Cafe RacerRegistration no. SPL 772RFrame no. 7F00102H7Engine no. 7F00102H7Harley-Davidson had been building the Sportster for years but by the mid-1970s it had become obvious that something better would be required to compete with the hottest new road bikes from Europe and Japan. Harley's riposte was the XLCR 'Café Racer', which combined the iron-barreled Sportster engine with a chassis incorporating an XR750-style box-section swingarm, cast alloy wheels and triple disc brakes. With its matt black-finished engine cases, matching exhaust system and sleek glassfibre bodywork, the XLCR looked lean and mean. Trouble was, The XLCR still couldn't cut it with the opposition and traditional Harley owners didn't know what to make of it. Sales were disappointing and the model was dropped after only two years in production. Sonly some 3,000-or-so were made and today the rare and stylish XLCR is highly prized by collectors. The Harley-Davidson XLCR offered here was used overseas before being imported and registered in the UK in September 1990. A new speedometer has been fitted and the machine benefits from the following upgrades: drilled brake discs all round; fork brace; Harrison Billet rear brake calliper; Harley-Davidson 40mm CV carburettor; electronic ignition; Progressive shock absorbers; HEL brake hoses; chromed rear brake reservoir; oil filter; and a K&N velocity stack air filter (within the existing housing). The battery and Avon Road Runner tyres are new. The private vendor describes the machine as in generally good condition, the engine said to be 'average' for the 18,449 miles recorded. The machine is offered with an owner's manual and a V5C document, while the original speedometer and a new '1000' air filter badge are included in the sale.
