HOSKE windscreenThis triple matching number BMW R68 left the factory in 1953 and spent its first 21 years in Germany.
In 1974, a German enthusiast and adventurous rider brought the motorcycle to Greece, where he enjoyed many rides and memorable moments. Before moving on to his next adventure, he sold the motorcycle to a Greek resident who owned a small shop near Athens. I

Around 2005–2006, the motorcycle was acquired by the current owner, who began a very thorough and accurate restoration after sourcing numerous NOS (New Old Stock) and original parts.

Despite the low mileage, the motorcycle has always received meticulous and regular maintenance.
