1927 BMW 500 CC R-42The R-42 was restored in 2 by Vech at Bench Mark Works.Bike starts first kick and shifts well. Bike just returned from Germany for a mechanical refresh at the BMW Classic Center in Munich, where the engine was re-timed, the transmission was removed as well as the read bevel drive. The transmission had a new bushing installed. The bike was test driven for 150km before being shipped back to the USA. I have all of the paperwork on the restoration from Bench Mark Works as well as BMW Mobile Traditions. I have a parts book and owners manual.
