1964 BMW R60

Built by renowned vintage motorcycle expert David Lee, this BMW R60/2 Custom Special is a rare and intelligently executed fusion of two of BMW's most respected airhead platforms.It unites the timeless chassis, elegance, and road manners of a 1964 R60/2 with the significantly more powerful and sporting drivetrain of the legendary R90S, creating a machine that delivers classic aesthetics with genuinely engaging performance. At its core, this motorcycle retains the original 1964 BMW R60/2 chassis (serial no. 625788) - a platform celebrated for its exceptional balance, long-wheelbase stability, and refined ride quality. The R60/2 frame is widely regarded as one of BMW's most elegant and confidence-inspiring designs, prized by collectors for both durability and visual purity.Powering this Custom Special is the BMW R90S engine, gearbox, and drivetrain (engine serial no. 4990446). The R90S is widely considered the pinnacle of BMW?s classic air-cooled performance era, bringing a substantial increase in horsepower, stronger torque delivery, electric start, and a more responsive, sport-oriented character. This transformation elevates the riding experience dramatically while remaining true to BMW?s airhead heritage. Beyond the performance gains and riding experience, the larger R90S powerplant visually fills out the R60/2 frame, giving the motorcycle a stronger, more purposeful stance while remaining period-correct and unmistakably BMW in character. This R60/2 Custom Special is not a replica or cosmetic tribute - it is a thoughtfully engineered motorcycle designed for the enthusiast who values provenance, craftsmanship, and real-world rideability. Equally suited for discerning collectors and riders who appreciate vintage BMW excellence with added performance, this machine stands apart as a unique and highly desirable airhead special.
