Cycle World magazine published a review of the R69S. Its initial and concluding paragraphs read: "Ask any motorcyclist what he considers to be the two-wheeled equivalent of the Rolls-Royce and you will almost certainly be told "BMW". That answer will not be too far wrong
the BMW motorcycle is more like the Mercedes than a Rolls-Royce: conservative in many respects

The 1960-1969 models were designed as relatively high powered
high compression sport bikes
although the Earles forks R69 and R69S came with sidecar lugs installed on the frames as these were designed specifically with sidecar use in mind
though it was popularly used as a solo bike as well
In June 1962

except that the products coming from the Bayerische Motoren Werke incorporate a good deal more in advanced engineering features than the famous English car. Actually
but quite advanced nonetheless. In any case
the BMW has attributes that make it unique
and it has acquired a reputation that makes it a "prestige" motorcycle
even among people who ordinarily don't give two wheelers a second glance...Whatever the BMW's merits are in a contest of speed
it is still the smoothest
best finished
quietest and cleanest motorcycle it has ever been our pleasure to ride. To be honest
we think that anyone who would worry much over its performance-potential is a bit of a booby. The R69S is fast enough to handle any encounter
and it has attributes that are
in touring
infinitely more valuable than mere speed. All things considered
if we were planning a two-wheel style tour
the BMW would have to be our choice of mount."
The beautiful R69S offered here is the culmination of one man's dream
and one wife's nightmare! Warned by his wife that he'd perhaps surpassed his motorcycling days
the previous owner assumed that a sidecar outfit would be the acceptable compromise. He was wrong. After many months of searching
the vendor eventually sourced his desired matching numbers R69S in Ireland
This bike benefitted from being offered in Class 1 condition following a re-spray with correct re-striping
re-ground piston ring valves
stainless steel exhaust system
chromed steel wheel rims
stainless steel spokes and a believed genuine 34,137 miles at the time of his purchase
Furthermore
this bike sports the slightly larger Schorsch Meier touring fuel tank
electronic ignition system and twin seat. Upon import
a beautiful and matching coloured Steib sidecar was ordered and bespoke built to fit the R69S at a cost of more than £6,000. In total
the project costed the previous owner in excess of £18,000
and showing a mileage now of just 54.993 km
