1934 BMW R11Ultra Rare Series 5 of R 11 Final Production Year – Matching Numbers & Highly Original.’Shortly after venturing into car manufacture for the first time by acquiring the Dixi works at Eisenach, BMW introduced a major innovation to its motorcycle range in 1929. The transversely mounted ’flat-twin’ engine was already a BMW trademark but for the first time it was installed in a pressed-steel frame in duplex form, the first model to incorporate this landmark of motorcycle design being the 740cc R11 in the vein of the Neander motorcycle of Ernst Neumann-Neander. BMW’s relatively vibration-free engine was already a byword for smoothness and refinement, and this, coupled to a three-speed shaft-drive transmission, made the R11 sidevalve one of the finest touring motorcycles of its day. Progressively improved, the R11 was built in five series up to 1934 – Between 1930 and 1934, BMW Motorrad manufactured 7,500 units’.For more information and provenance details, please call our sales team or inquire within.
