BMW “R26 with sidecar”, 1959, Germany<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The R26<\/strong> model was launched in 1956<\/strong> and represents the evolution of the R24<\/em> and R25,<\/em> the first medium-displacement motorcycles BMW<\/strong> made after World War II. <\/b>The essence was the same: a “squared”<\/em> single-cylinder engine and shaft drive, that now produces more power<\/strong> thanks to a higher compression ratio and a bigger Bing carburetor.
\nNew suspensions was fitted at the front now using Earles forks<\/strong>\u00a0and a new swingarm<\/strong> at the back.
\nThe model collected a discrete success thanks to the engine toughness and vigor, that made a valid combination with a sidecar,<\/strong> a popular accessory at the time as you can see by the bike kept in the museum.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
