The good:I've got a beautiful 1959 R26 BMW up for sale that's all original (all matching) with a fresh top end motor rebuild and trans rebuild ($3,500 worth of work.) Bunch of upgrades too like new handle bars, single side mirror, new exhaust pipe, points/plug, fluids, black and yellow plate that reads "1959 BMW". The bike gets tons of thumbs up from all kinds of riders and is a great foreground for any photo op. Every time I pull over to get off the bike it gets a lot of attention and cool conversations ensue. I've only put about 50 miles on the bike since all the work. I'm looking to sell off a few things because I'm getting into another passion of Porsche collecting and need the room. A fantastic display piece or a sweet ride to get attention on.The minor issues:The only thing it needs replaced is a small condenser in the coil (about a $12 part) that I believe needs a little soldering and an oil gasket (maybe $4 bucks for that.) It runs fine, but when warmed up a bit it loses a little power due to that condenser, but really easy fix and same with the oil gasket, a few bolts and it pops right in. The tank was chipped in a small area and the previous owner touched it up/add to the charm of this beauty.I'll be putting it up on eBay if no takers within the next week or two.Keywords:BMW, R26, R27, R25, R50, R60, R69, 250cc, Single Cylinder, Vintage, Motorcycle, Classic
