The 1937 BMW R7: Restored to Perfection
« on: December 14, 2010, 07:39:59 AM »

Is this not one of the most beautiful motorcycles you’ve ever seen?  Consider yourself lucky you’re seeing it.  This vintage BMW was locked away in a crate for almost 70 years, until that crate was cracked in June of 2005.  This 1937 BMW R7 was only a concept motorcycle at the time, a vehicle built for speed but never intended for mass production.  Since the crate was opened, this R7 has been faithfully restored to its original state and is currently touring European bike shows.  If this unique BMW R7 were ever to hit the auction block, you can almost bet that it’ll set records.  There is no way this amazing motorcycle would sell for anything less than priceless

Love the older European bikes, wish I would have bought them up and kept them 40 years ago.  Thanks for the post

Wow, this is truly an amazing bike. I just love the older BMW's. I am riding BMW's from 1979 on and never stopped owning at least one BMW and owned several R50 boxertwins form the early sixties. My current BMW is an R100R from 1992 fully restored and rebuild. Never saw or heard of the R7, an amazing an beautyfull bike. It shows quit some similarity with the R35 single cylinder bike from about the same years. Same frame concept, fuel tank and fender styling.
