Last riding of 2023 BMW R27

In early December, most roads in this region are covered with snow and ice, making them slippery. Today was unusually sunny and warm, so I rode R27 for the last time this year. The motorcycles will be hibernating in the garage until the snow melts next spring.

Hey, I got a similar bike, same color! Ex-Bundesgrenzschutz.
The low idle is nice, but please be aware that you might get low oil pressure and it will suck your battery dry.

Thank you for your comment.
My R27 was made in 1965, and I heard that this color was used by West German border guards as you say.
As you pointed out, when riding on forest roads or rough roads, the engine speeds are low so can't expect a sufficient charge, but I usually ride at speeds of 80km/h or more, so I haven't had any battery-related problems.
Thank you again.
