1956 BMW R-Series R26 Original 250cc for Sale

clean triple matching numbers BMW R26.

The R26 model has never been officially imported into the United States, making them pretty hard to find! These neat 250cc BMW Singles have become very collectible because of their dependability and parts availability and has because of this managed to survive over the decades. From now on it will for sure

be serving many more generations in the time to come, where it will still be somewhere in 100 years from now. As serious and correct ones are getting hard to find, get one before the price will become completely unreachable. This mid-century matching numbers (3x) BMW R26 is in best mechanical condition and ready for instant use.

The paint and chrome are not perfect and showing traces of use and age, though the complete motorcycle is still in a clean condition. In the beginning of 2020 the wiring-loom has been renewed, where on that occasion also the old ignition-coil has been replaced with an identical nos one. During this same time also the carburetor has been replaced with a nos German

made Bing one, where also the clutch, breaker-points and condenser have been renewed. As it has since then been used frequently, we have decided to service it prior to sale a few days back, by renewing the engine-, gearbox- and rear-drive oil (all the oil we took out was completely clean!

) and checking the valve play. On this occasion we have also replaced the spark plug and exchanged the battery for a new (maintenance free) German made sealed battery. Out on the street it handles really well, just like it did on day one, where everything works like should. The odometer reading is 28554 km / approx. 17780 mile. The instrument is original to the bike and works fine, where because of the general mechanical condition I'm pretty sure that this reading can be considered as being correct. Clean title.
