Review
The 1961 BMW 60/2 is a classic motorcycle that embodies simplicity and reliability. Its 594cc engine produces 30.1 HP at 5800 RPM, providing enough power for enjoyable rides. The four-speed gearbox complements the engine's character, encouraging riders to engage actively with the machine. With a top speed of 145 km/h (90.1 mph), it's designed for comfortable cruising rather than high-speed thrills. Weighing 195 kg (429.9 pounds), the 60/2 feels stable and planted on the road. The long swingarm front suspension with oil pressure shock absorbers absorbs bumps, contributing to a smooth ride. The 17-liter fuel tank ensures ample range for longer journeys, making it a practical choice for touring. The duplex full hub drum brake requires attentiveness from the rider, but provides adequate stopping power for the era. This motorcycle is ideal for vintage motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate the heritage and craftsmanship of classic BMWs. It's well-suited for riders who enjoy a more connected and involved riding experience, valuing the simplicity and charm of a bygone era. The 60/2 is perfect for leisurely rides on scenic routes, allowing riders to savor the journey.
