Developed from the 198cc single-cylinder R20 of 1937/38, itself a development of BMW’s best-selling R2, the 247cc R23 was produced between 1938 and 1940, 8,021 examples being sold. The reintroduction of a 247cc model had been prompted by changes in German licensing laws, which had removed the favourable concessions previously enjoyed by machines up to 200cc, instituting a new up-to-250cc category instead. Powered by an overhead-valve engine producing 10bhp, the R23 came with a four-speed gearbox and featured shaft drive like the larger models. Weight with a full tank of fuel was 297lbs and the top speed around 60mph (97km/h). Its R24 successor, BMW’s first new post-war model, arrived in 1948 looking virtually unchanged but producing an additional 2bhp. In mid-1950 the R24 was superseded by the R25, which featured plunger rear suspension but was otherwise very similar. This R24 was delivered new to the Beinecke dealership in Germany. The machine is offered with Netherlands registration papers (1958 and 1975). Die Auslieferung der R24 aus dem Jahr 1950 erfolgte an die Firma Beinecke in Deutschland. Die Maschine wird mit niederländischen Zulassungspapieren aus den Jahren 1958 und 1975 versteigert.
