BMW R51/3 1961

This 1954 BMW R51/3, with matching numbers and original Dutch registration, is an example of craftsmanship and precision. In 2008 the bike was fully restored by the authorized BMW specialists at Oldlima in Belgium, and since then it has covered only 30 kilometers. The restoration has left the R51/3 in excellent condition and guarantees years of riding pleasure or admiration as a collector's item.

Historical Technology and Development

The R51/3 builds on BMW's rich legacy of flat-twin motorcycles. Following the introduction of the R5 in 1936, with improved performance thanks to dual chain-driven camshafts, BMW introduced the updated R51/3 in 1951. This model brought a host of technical refinements, including a more compact engine layout with a single camshaft and a crankshaft-mounted alternator, which provided a smooth and powerful ride.

Optical and Mechanical Perfection

This R51/3 has been restored with a keen focus on authenticity and detail. The paint and chrome details are in beautiful condition, the fits are exact and the classic look of this BMW attracts immediate attention. The original Dutch registration and a Belgian registration document confirm the rich history of this model, which has also been carefully preserved since the restoration.

Unmistakable BMW Classic

With its unique appearance and historical value, this R51/3 offers the ultimate riding experience of the 1950s, with every aspect of the motorcycle demonstrating quality and elegance. For any enthusiast, this R51/3 is not only an eye-catcher, but also a special piece of automotive history.
