There must be an interesting story behind your rare bikes.

According to BMW Archives, the 1931 was number 862 off the R2 assembly line on March 26, 1931. Referred to in Germany as “The People’s Bike”. This was the first model of what became the very popular BMW 250cc bikes (R25, R26 & R27). It was purchased from an estate 12 years ago and the distant family knew nothing of how it got to Canada.

The 1935 R2 was purchased in Belgium and shipped to Canada in around 2009
