1958 BMW R60 MOTORCYCLE WITH MATCHING NUMBERS.* German, mid-20th Century. An older very high quality restoration, it is finished in glossy black with fine white pinstriping, powered by a 594cc air-cooled, horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine with four-speed manual transmission and enclosed shaft drive. Featuring distinctive Earles leading-link front suspension, dual Pagusa rubber saddles, dual Bing carburetors, polished chrome exhaust, lighting, and headlight-mounted instrumentation. Matching engine and frame serial numbers 619127, confirmed on the engine case and steering head. Odometer reads 4,259 miles (actual mileage unknown). Runs and rides at the time of cataloguing. Provenance: The Lifetime Collection of the late John J. "Jack" Hentges (Hookstown, Pennsylvania). Cataloger's note: Introduced in 1956, the BMW R60 was among the manufacturer's highly regarded postwar touring motorcycles, combining the 594cc boxer twin engine with durable shaft-drive engineering and distinctive Earles front suspension. The latter was particularly well suited to sidecar use, contributing to the model's popularity among European touring enthusiasts. The matching engine and frame numbers, dual Pagusa saddles, and traditional black-and-white finish are desirable features of this example. From the collection of longtime automotive enthusiast Jack Hentges, whose professional career included aviation mechanics and restoration work with Dale Adams Enterprises. *PLEASE NOTE: BIDDERS ON THIS LOT WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY AND ARRANGE PICKUP NO LATER THAN 11/10/26 IN ORDER TO AVOID A $150 TRANSFER FEE IN ADDITION TO OUR STANDARD STORAGE FEES.
