Facts about the model

In the late thirties BMWs were sold in considerable numbers, in spite of their high prices.
The make had built up an excellent reputation for quality and luxury: from 1938 on all BMWs had both front and rear springing, a feature which was very uncommon for most other makes.
From 1938 till the war stopped production of civilian bikes all BMW twins shared a common frame and cycle parts. All engines were interchangeable and shared the same transmission. Only the rear axle ratios were different.
The 745 cc engine with bore and stroke of 78×78 mm, has a compression ratio of 5.5 : 1 and a power output of 22 HP @ 4600 rpm.
Fuel tank capacity is 14 litres. Between 1938 and 1941 some 2,000 R 71’s were built.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
