Description
Manufacturer: BMW Model: R42 Displacement: 500 cc Year of manufacture: 1926 This R42 provides a solid basis for a manageable restoration. A substantial portion of the preparatory work has already been completed. For completion, a number of replica parts were used – The ignition magneto has been completely overhauled and converted to an electronic regulator – The cylinders have been brushed and, after honing, returned to their original size – The crankshaft has been overhauled and the connecting rods newly manufactured – The frame has already been restored – Many parts have been overhauled and nickel-plated.
What makes this project special: The key components of the motorcycle are original (engine, gearbox, frame, front fork, tank). The original type plate matches the frame and engine numbers. The gearbox, engine and crankshaft serial numbers match. Engine, gearbox and frame correspond in this configuration to the factory delivery. Photos of the condition found before restoration are available. The motorcycle can be fully restored upon the customer’s request.
