BMW R27 (1960 to 1966)

The R27 Motorrad was introduced in 1960 by BMW. It was equipped with a 247cc, air cooled, overhead valve single cylinder engine, paired to a 4 speed manual transmission and shaft drive. The R27 incorporated key improvements in comfort and smoothness, such as the engine mounted on silent blocks, which significantly reduced vibrations for a single engine. The R27 is appreciated for its exceptionally smooth operation, reliability, and build quality, and today it is considered one of the finest classic single cylinder motorcycles ever produced by BMW. The BMW R27 was produced until 1966.
