BMW R25 (1950 to 1956)

The R25 Motorrad was introduced in 1950 by BMW. It was one of the most important single cylinder motorcycles of the post war era, equipped with a 247cc, air cooled, overhead valve single engine, paired to a 4 speed manual transmission and shaft drive. The family included the R25 (1950–1951), the R25/2 (1951–1953), and the R25/3 (1953–1956), with progressive improvements in suspension, power and reliability. The R25 stood out for its smoothness, durability, and ease of use, becoming a key motorcycle for BMW Motorrad's reconstruction after World War II and one of its most highly regarded classic models today. The BMW R25 was produced until 1956.
