    Top speed I've done on my 67 R69S was 122mph. and cruises all day at 70- 80. 80 is smoother than 70.

    I had a 1961 R69 s in the mid 1970's . To this day it is my favorite bike .... Why BMW stopped offering the Earles forks is beyond me .. You go over a big bump and the front came up instead of diving ....

      Yes, we've tried to rectify that in some of our more recent films, such as that about the BSA Starfire. Thanks for the feedback!

    Forgive my ignorance but other R69S’s I have see have the R69 displayed on the rear mudguard - was this an option or design change?

      This likely is a 1963 or earlier bike. I'm fairly sure the R69S was displayed starting in 1964.

    la migliore motocicletta da turismo di tutti i tempi che ha raggiunto la piena maturitá. La Brough Superior e la Vincent hanno interrotto la produzione prima di raggiungerla

    bmw advertised '24 hours at 110 mph,' there wouldn't be many bikes in the 1960's that could deliver that. and if yer going fast for long, you want smooth too.

      Worst I've ever heard, surprised they didn't do something to mask or change it before production started.

      We're planning to do similar little films on an early 1926 R42 and a 1954 R51/3 in the next few months...

    From a time when German engineering was excellent. Unlike today where everyone still believes that to be the case, but the product is made from chocolate fireguards
