BMW R 67

At the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1951, BMW presented its first motorcycle with a capacity of 600 cc in the postwar period the BMW R 67. The chassis was taken over from the BMW R 51/2 model but the engine was a completely new development. The torquey touring model with extreme running smoothness and outstanding handling was able to fully exploit its qualities especially in sidecar operation. The motorcycle sidecar combination in the yellow livery of the German Automobile Association (ADAC) was soon to become part of the familiar scenery on German motorways and country roads.
