I bought a barn find, R50/2 1965 , when I got it back, I noticed that the carbs are a R60, than I got it started (Engine had low miles on the rebuild) WOW, lots of power as I have a R60/2 to compare it too and this has 20% more umph.. Maybe I have a R69 motor.. who KNOWS out there.
So What do I have Engine Number is 634434, the Speedo says 28K and I believe it on the chassis as it is very tight and clean especially all of the chrome and Aluminum..(perfect)
The previous owner new nothign except he was told 8 years ago the engine is rebuilt (not a R50) and the engine is clean, tight and strong. so What engine do I have.
The chassis number is a R50/2 as it is on the tag and the frame. They match but not the engine....
Maybe I have a Special model belong to a famous Kraut from the 60's like Herman Gorings son. Or Steve McQueen??
I tried to find out using the Forum but the sites they send you to really don't work.
Also this bike is light Tan, (not Dover White, as I had a R50/2 that was Dover... with Brown Pin strips,) very nice but I am sure not a factory Job?? Anyone out there know different??
