This BMW has always been registered [in Connecticut and Iowa] as a 1965 R-69S. Frame number 627569 on clear Iowa title Engine number 657732. I bought the R-69S in around 1995 in Ct. it was abarelyrunning bike. It sat in my heated basement for many years because I owned many Italian bikes Guzzi Laverda and Ducati. Then I had a heart attack so it sat until around 2006. Ihada very good job at the time and took the bike to Avedis Tenkarian in Rhode Island who totally restored the engine. This cost a huge amount of money. Everything is new pistons crank rings valves slinger balancer etc. I rode it a bit but we had a personal tragedy in our family and we left the East Coast for a mellower life in a little town in S.E. Iowa. I retired and started selling off my bikes to live on. I moved here with 22. This BMW is the last bike my riding days are over. The bike has only been driven 400 miles since the rebuild. The engine is fantastic. Tenkarian is a pro.In bidding remember you basically have a new engine. Ask anyone what Tenkarian charges for his work.As you can see this a honest wear bike with great patina. What does it need? If you are going to putt around town just cleaning and adjustment of the right side carb. For any serious riding it needs tires and brake work. Mileageon this bike is unknown. I've never been able to open the tool box so I do not know what is in there.Please ask questions up front what you see is what you see is what you get. I have sold many expensive motorcycles and musical instruments on ebay. I am a honest and direct person. Check my feedback.
