Found a R69 under a pile of junk in a friends basement . . .

My schedule has not allowed me to start on this bike yet. Hopefully next week! And I found another hidden gem that will be revealed soon!

Yer killin' us. You know that. Yer killin' us. Another secret gem after an R69S?

I believe it is even rarer than the R69 and it does have a BMW roundel on it!

You're killin' me.

Why is it the NE US has so many of these?

I suspect it has four wheels. Moving along.

Hint. It is another two wheeler.

plunger frame, then?

I agree and suggest as a step toward restoring equilibrium that you ship beemer x to the southwest corner of the US.
I will happily provide an address.

No need to thank me and please include a bag of M&Ms (peanut).

Fixed. You can thank me later.

you so good at fixing things,
you should come over and fix my bike!

there's a quality, craft beer in it for you.

Tempting.

Yes, the forks are very like those on a /5. The tubes and "innerds" are interchangable. The fork bellows are the same, as is the top or upper yoke. The lower yoke is real close but the steering stem is longer. The lower legs are very close but not the same. The cap nuts on the bottom of the legs is the same. The set-up on the fork brace is the same except for the forward loop (which is near impossible to find).

The frame is NOT plunger as suggested. The rear shock tubes hold proper shocks and springs and it has a proper swing arm. This is something that the old motorcycle magazines got wrong and everybody just kept saying it, perpetuating a falsity.

of course, I was speculating about the two-wheeler mentioned in post #47.
which has been loosely described as rarer than a R69 and bears a roundel.

admittedly, a monkey bike with a BMW logo slapped on it would also fit the description, being fairly rare (if one includes the roundel as part of the whole).
