Here is a very original BMW R25/3, Its about 50*f out and the little bike is running well, 1955 was the first year with hydraulic damping front forks. Its a great running single cylinder with a 250cc displacement and a nice simple 4 speed gearbox.
There are two different final drive ratios available,
One for "solo" and the other for "sidecar" this bike has the "solo" ratio along with the matching "Solo" speedo ratio to match the gearing and its capable of reaching nearly 70 Mph as written in the owners manual, I have only seen 60 Mph and didn't try for a higher speed, It will cruise easily at 45-50 Mph.
If anyone has a proper used tire pump they want to sell, Please contact me,
Thanks all and keep on riding!
Peter B.

Lovely bike. There's something about small displacement singles that I'm starting to appreciate. The relaxed lope is therapeutic and its simple mechanical design is stress-free when it comes to maintenance.

I agree....therapeutic all the way.

Cool little bike. They have the look !

Now why can't BMW make a modern day version of these beautifully sleek, timeless bikes. Royal Enfield never really stopped making the Classic 500 because people are still buying them.

I completely agree...I think this is what they tried to do with bmw r 18

Because most people buy fast plastic bikes . Its the same with cars. First m3 has 1200kg and feels perfect in handling. The New 2021M3 is 1700kg. Of course it has over 400hp and more safety Features but BMW lost its passion to Light Sport cars

These old BMW's were made to last forever and easy to maintain by it's riders. Nowadays BMW has gone the opposite way. Very expensive, hi-tech bikes, made for people that only ride them for one year, and turn it in for another, newer one. Quality control has gone down as well. You can't fix anything on these newest BMW's anymore. And repairs have become very, very expensive. We call them 'spaceships'..

@@andrezesna3920 at least cars have the defense of new safety regulations, bike regulations haven't changed nearly as much.

I had a R26 back in 1972. I should have kept her! Too late.

Hi. Very nice video. Could you please tell me where you got the rear view mirror? I've been looking for one like that because I don't have much room on the handlebars towards the end. It would be perfect. Thanks.

Nice bike! And location. As a european I think it looks like an area I could enjoy living in. May I ask where it is filmed?

Nice video and bike. I did a short clip of my R25 1954 on my channel “ Soldy”

@joaquinbrouchoud4073 Год назад

i love your driving bro, but i have a question, does it go without accelerating? like in 1st gear

@nealefrazer4247 2 года назад

would they do 60 mph?

In New York State, those three stop signs you rolled through without stopping would be $300 or more each in penalties. Also using no hand signals would be about the same multiple violations penalties for multiple turns. How do you get away with it? The cops love writing V&T = vehicle & traffic violations everywhere these days. Nice scoot. Presently buying same one. Thanks for the video & info. Semper Fi! Sincere Kind Regards >>
