Review
The 1935 BMW 12 Single Carb offers a glimpse into the early days of BMW motorcycle manufacturing. Its 745cc engine provides adequate power for the roads of its time, achieving a top speed of 110 km/h (68.4 mph). The 14-liter fuel tank allows for reasonable range, suitable for touring within the constraints of the era. Simplicity and reliability were key design considerations. The riding position is likely upright, prioritizing rider comfort for extended journeys. The telescopic front fork provides improved handling compared to older designs. The expanding drum brake requires a measured and anticipatory approach to braking, typical of the period. This motorcycle is well-suited for enthusiasts who appreciate the history and simplicity of early motorcycles. It's a machine for those who enjoy the direct connection with the mechanics of the bike, trading modern performance for a unique and engaging riding experience. The 1935 BMW 12 Single Carb is a rolling piece of history, best enjoyed at a relaxed pace.
