BMW R7 Motorcycle Engine

Why am I getting all of this outdated stuff? I see why one other fellow thought he was watching a current build or for sale item, only to be told it was a posting from years earlier!! Where are our up to date postings???" I do NOT like this new website. I am also tired of all the advertising I get thrown at me when I open the site. At least bring the Daily Activity Report I get in my e-mail up to date!!!

This thread is from a very long time ago. It is only active again because a brand new member, likely brought here from a google search, joined up just to post on the thread. To be fair to him, he likely didn't realise the thread was years old. However, once the thread was reactivated, each new post showed up in the 'new posts' menu and people didn't realise it was an old thread. While we might not get any more new info on this model, the info that is there is still good to read...

Hello,

I am new to this forum Got the thread from HMEM and liked it a lot. In 1967 I owned a similar BMW, a 1960 R69S with sidecar-racing tuned engine.

No worries Peter - this thread was finished before I even joined the site so I've never seen it before and it was an interesting and informative read, which is why we're all here after all...

Thank you for staying positive! Plus as you can see I found some new info on it. There s a company that is planning on launching massive production of this bike...at least it seems like it

I too found the post interesting and even though i did not know it was old i will still follow it
Sometimes ressurecting old threads is good for newcomers that may have missed it

Awesome! I was dreaming to have at least a replica of the 1934 BMW inspired Motor.

Old? What's 'old' have to do with it....? We all like new and trendy stuff but when we get serious about it, we love the 'old stuff' just as much if not more.

I have the bike with this engine -R100/7 - on post #8. I build miniature engines as a hobby but it never occurred to me to take my bike apart to duplicate the engine....that is a very serious modeler to say the least. And what a beautiful job! gbravo is bravo!

BTW: I use Artsoft Mach3 operating system on a converted Enco 8x36 knee mill that is programmed using KeyCreator CAD/CAM.
