Hi, that's not quite right.
It is a R25/3 with year of manufacture 1954.
I drove her very much with pleasure. Also from Germany to the south of France.
I had the opportunity to ride a 650 CC BMW if I wanted. But I preferred to ride my 250 CC.
In Germany it is also called "Gummikuh".
That means cow made of rubber ;-)

In which country do you live?

I live in the United States, in the town of Hamburg, just south of the city of Buffalo, on the shore of Lake Erie. I have had my R90/6 for 40 years. I do occasionally look at new motorcycles, but nothing seems like that big of an improvement over the R90. I have not ridden my motorcycle for a few years due to illness, but I will be riding again in the springtime with a bit of luck.

When you used the phrase "Gummikuh" were you referring to the 650 or the 250?

Oh, I wish you a speedy recovery for your health!

I think "Gummikuh" were called all BMW-motorcycles.
I guess because of the cardan drive.
