1961 BMW R27

Vehicle Description

1961 BMW R27
Last Single-Cylinder Series of Motorrad?s Halcyon Age, Presented in Authentically Restored Condition.
?At the IFMA (International Cycle and Motorcycle Exhibition) in Cologne from September 7-11, 1960, BMW presented the BMW R27 as the successor model to the BMW R26. Similar to this motorcycle, the BMW R27 had a full-swing chassis but the engine was supported on 4 rubber mounts in the frame. This ?floating engine? provided smooth-running characteristics unknown up to that time and set benchmarks in the construction of single-cylinder engines for motorcycles. When R27 production was brought to a halt after 15,364 units had been produced, BMW did not launch a successor model. There was a long wait until 1993 before a BMW single-cylinder motorcycle rolled off the assembly line again?.
