Black-Plate 1965 BMW R50/2

In the heart of Los Angeles lives a classic beast from yesteryears, a Black-Plate 1965 BMW R50/2. This vintage bike was born in Munich, Germany, four years before man first stepped on the moon. Distinctive for its dual 4-inch headlights like two cyclopean eyes peering ahead, it's powered by an air-cooled, horizontally-opposed flat twin engine known as a 'boxer' motor, producing around 26 horsepower, ample for its time. It retains its original paint and decals, giving it a time capsule appeal that embodies the spirit of the late 1960s biking culture in the City of Angels.
