The 1937 BMW R7: Restored to Perfection
Is this not one of the most beautiful motorcycles you’ve ever seen? Consider yourself lucky you’re seeing it. This vintage BMW was locked away in a crate for almost 70 years, until that crate was cracked in June of 2005. This 1937 BMW R7 was only a concept motorcycle at the time, a vehicle built for speed but never intended for mass production. Since the crate was opened, this R7 has been faithfully restored to its original state and is currently touring European bike shows. If this unique BMW R7 were ever to hit the auction block, you can almost bet that it’ll set records. There is no way this amazing motorcycle would sell for anything less than priceless.

Absolute beauty!!
Amazing Piece of work – loved it
I have renovated two British Big-Wigs that were over 30 yrs old when I got them, BSA 650 Road Rocket, Matchless 500 (Twin)but, this takes the cake…Unfortunately, sold them due to the lack of forsight. Considering it was found in a crate i guess the restorer did not face much. Anyway, good job!
serious bike… looks like its new… just goes to show, great design is timeless…
i was fortunite enough to see this baby up close and personal during this years concorde de elegance in amelia island this year in 2011. needless to say i stood there in front of it with my jaw wide open!!
i saw it only on the computer prior to seeing it in person but to physically see it up close and personal was AMAZING!! it was its first time ever being in the usa!! i have plenty of video and pictures of it from every angle and position. truely the most awesome machine i’ve ever seen in my whole life and this coming from a harley guy. the guy displaying it said the owners were offered 3 million and didnt wanna sell it!! so that would make this probably the most expensive bike on the planet. i actually got to see it run too!!
