Review
The 1941 BMW R 71 is a classic motorcycle from the World War II era, built for both civilian and military use. Its 746cc horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine produces 22 horsepower at 4600 RPM, offering reliable power for its time. The engine is paired with a 4-speed gearbox. With a top speed of 125 km/h (77.7 mph), it was designed for utility and durability rather than outright speed. The R 71 features a 14-liter (3.70 US gallons) fuel tank. The front suspension is a cartridge type. Braking is handled by a single expanding drum brake on the front wheel. While not as advanced as modern braking systems, it provided adequate stopping power for the bike's performance. The R 71 is aimed at riders who appreciate the history and simplicity of pre-war motorcycles. It is a machine that represents a bygone era and offers a unique riding experience. Its robust construction and reliable engine make it a piece of history that can still be enjoyed today.
