This bike was built in Germany - Born 10-14-1963 and delivered 10-15-1963 to Butler and Smith BMW dealership in NYC. The restoration is typical of the Vintage Master technicians, a Pennsylvania father and son who owned one of the first BMW dealerships in the US. We have had this bike for over 12 years, always in an airconditioned garage. The bike is in excellent condition. The R27's 250 cc OHV vertical single was the only rubber-mounted thumper engine BMW ever produced, and was their last shaft drive single-cylinder motorcycle. The engine pumped out 18 hp (13 kW), the highest ever for a shaft-drive BMW single. MW did things differently from other manufacturers. This is evident in the R27. Its enclosed shaft final drive is rare for a single cylinder motorcycle. But it also had a triangulated Earles front fork (named after English designer Ernest Earles); so the motorcycle had a front swingarm as well as a rear swingarm. The engines crankshaft was laid out fore-to-aft, not side- to-side; also a rare feature. This way, the crank and the final shaft were in line, and drive forces did not have to be run through a set of 90-degree gears. Also, the kick starter swung out sideways instead of parallel to the frame. Definitely a true collectors bike and a true classic. Rare as well. Call Jeff today to discuss or make an offer on this beautiful bike. 402-858-1353 Asking $11,500.
