Review
The 1931 BMW 11 Series 2 represents a slice of early motorcycle engineering. Its 745cc engine produces a modest 18 horsepower, enough to reach a top speed of 100 km/h. The engine's character would have been defined by its low-end torque and smooth delivery, prioritizing reliability over outright performance. A 3-speed gearbox manages the power, a common setup for the era. Ergonomically, this bike would have placed the rider in an upright, commanding position. The plate spring front suspension and drum brake would have provided a ride experience quite different from modern machines, demanding a skilled and attentive rider. The 14-liter fuel tank allowed for reasonable range for the time. This motorcycle would appeal to vintage enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate the simplicity and historical significance of early BMW motorcycles. It's a machine for those who enjoy the tactile experience of riding a classic, understanding its limitations and celebrating its unique charm.
