Angus quite a shop there, listen I´ve been riding a 1955 r69 which I purchased back in 1980 and I didn´t like the clunk when shifting gears so after experimenting a little I found out that if you shift in 2 quick steps instead on a 1 step it doesn´t sound at all and you´ll master the 2 step method in no time.
This "two step" method is called "double clutching". Between each gear there is a neutral, not as obvious as between 1 and 2 but it is there. To discover this, with the engine off and clutch out, sit on your bike and rock it back and forth while gently moving the shifter. Now, with the bike rolling, try double clutching your shifts. Shift slowly and deliberately at first until you get the hang of it. When shifting up use the clutch to get it out of the lower gear. Gently nudge it out, release the clutch in the neutral, clutch again and shift the remaining way into the next gear and finally let the clutch back out. Down shifting is a little more tricky and involves a simultaneous quick slight "tap" of the throttle while going through the neutral and the clutch is out.
Wunderschöne R 50/2, nur gehört diese BMW nicht in die Hände der Sie gefahren ist. Keine Ahnung vom schalten der Gänge, tat mir in den Ohren weh, habe Jahrzehnte so ziehmlich alles gefahren was BMW jemals gebaut hat, vorwiegend aus den 50zigern-70ziger Jahre. Zum nächsten Desaster, Tachowelle nicht angeschlossen, Verarscherei dem nächsten Kunden gegenüber "die BMW hat nur wenige Kilometer gelaufen"! Verkaufspreis im sehr guten Zustand, ca. 12.000-15.000€.
That sound and the TONK on the transmission

Man that was great! Would've love to have seen it unedited tho, but still looked like a great ride
No views of the bike?
what a great bike
Stop Tafeln sind kein variabler Vorschlag sondern die Räder anhalten BMW ist ganz lieb ( habe die selbe nur mit beiwagen )
sehr cool!

That was nice and informative of the riding experience, as I just purchased a R60/2
I don´t know if we´re talking about the same, you pull the clutch just once and your left foot twice quickly, there will be no noise.
