1934 BMW R7

BMW motorcycle
Issue #3 of BMW Motorcycle Magazine showcases the amazing R7 concept, describing it as “one of the most important, innovative and visually stunning motorcycles ever produced.” We agree. Although this BMW is over 70 years old, it could almost be a contemporary concept. It was shelved as WWII approached, and put in a box. In 2005, that box was opened, and BMW Classic started the restoration. There’s more information about the project on Phil Hawksley’s BM Bikes.

PS: Looking for a Christmas gift? The 2011 Bike EXIF motorcycle calendar is on sale now, with high-quality photography of the world’s most beautiful custom motorcycles.

      Hmm, yes … the first custom builder to create a respectful replica of this bike is going to make a lot of money, methinks.

    GOTTA have it! That is so sick!!! The only fantasy that could top it would be Marilyn Monroe sitting on my lap right now, but only if the bike weren’t where I could get my hands on it!

    The R7 has always been one of my favorites. Something about design in the 30s. I guess that art deco / Buck Rogers thing does it. Too cool.
