I have one like that minus the bags but mine is in used and ridden hard condition. I still ride it from time to time. I don't have the door on top of the tank mine has one knee pad that opens with a key to get in the tool box that I have never had to open. I even have the original tools in mine.

I built this one a couple of years ago, but I'd love to get one of those early R61S models.

It's been a few years, but there was a chick in Little Rock that rode a bike like that with a side car. It was in mint condition. It would have looked great in my garage.
Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.

I'm in love with this one down here in the "other" Vancouver. Johnny's Old Skool '63 BMWIt's the black and red one down the page. You can't link directly to it. (at least I can't) He's asking 6,000 and I've seen him ride it all over. It is awesome. I hear ya Keith, Those old Beemers are sweet looking. ~Brent

Yep, gotta say those old deco-styled Buco saddlebags sure make those old /2 Beemers look ex-tree cool, alright! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

They run forever too and I never work on mine except to put the oil back in the leaked out. Mine has never been apart since it was assembled in 1964 so all the rubber parts leak because they have gotten hard.After seeing that I am tempted to take it apart though and paint it cream. (black now)

Engles MC has a simliar one in their basement I saw last Sat. and I saw a college kid riding one out in Lawrence, Kansas last fall. They are even more striking in person. If I win the PowerBall I'll get one, Christ! I'll get you one too MM.

Mine did come with a good seat that wasn't on it and the tank badges and a few other things. I also later put a solo seat on it. Right now it has the long seat on it, I was giving the kids rides on it.

Thanx,I love the bike. All I did was clean the carbs check the timing, change the oil,put the other seat on it and take the first ride.I did clean it up more and put new tires on it later as well as a solo seat but I haven't done any real work to it in the 10 or 15 years I have had it, just change the oil and ride it. I haven't even had to tune it up and it starts on the first kick most of the time.When it's cold it may take 3 or 4 kicks to start. The kick start doesn't swing the same way as a normal bike it comes out perpendicular to it, you can see the kicker just behind the air cleaner in the pic.

Dog, you got too many bikes and not enough time. If I had that BMW it would be pristine. Of course I would have to park it under the bridge I'd be living under after the expenses.

No dice MM, G-d must hate me. Some guy won down the the road in Marshall, Missouri. So close yet so far away. Haven't checked my Wed night #s yet. If G-d had a change of heart I'll e-mail you for the shipping info.
