BMW's first new post-war model was a 'single', the 247cc R24, which arrived in 1948 looking pretty much like the pre-war R23 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 In mid-1950 the R24 was superseded by the R25, which featured plunger rear suspension but was otherwise very similar. An improved R25/2 version was introduced during 1951 and by 1956 BMW's 'one-lunger' had evolved into the R26. In what would turn out to be its penultimate form, BMW's quarter-litre luxury lightweight boasted a more powerful engine than its R25 predecessor, an Earles-type leading-link front fork and a larger fuel tank among numerous improvements. The range's final development - the R27 - arrived in 1960 substantially unchanged but for the adoption of a rubber-mounted engine. Built to the same exemplary standards as the Bavarian company's famous horizontally-opposed twins, the traditional BMW single was much missed after its demise in the late 1960s. First registered in May 1968, this BMW R27 was acquired by its late owner in April 1982. It is not known when 'MON 2F' last ran, though the engine turns over and the motorcycle's overall good condition suggests that re-commissioning rather than restoration may be all that is required. The machine comes with old-style Swansea V5 document and is sold strictly as viewed. No reserve.
