R17 BMW - Old School Heritage | Motorrad | BMW Motorcycles of Seattle

Only 450 BMW R17's were produced over a two year period. There are very few R17s left in the world to this day. Having broken fresh ground with the launch of the pressed-steel framed R11 in 1930, BMW followed that up with the introduction of an hydraulically-damped telescopic front fork on the R12 and R17 models, which were also notable as the first BMWs to have a four-speed gearbox. Sporting, twin-carburettor, overhead-valve R17 produced 33bhp at 5,000rpm and would be BMW’s most powerful production roadster of its time.
