Great story - would have liked to have had more shots of his collection - the list is amazing, starting with 1924 models!

I was hoping for more pictures also. I did a quick search and founa a couple sites with pictures of this collection of BMWs.

Thank you for that link. Very interesting. Too bad the guy who wrote the article couldn't figure out that the 1953 ISDT R68 which likely did win the ISDTthat year on the IOM; but didn't win the IOM TT
Ya I know - critics

Cool stuff!
Wow! It's too bad that the collection can't be maintained in one piece. It's a shame to break it apart. The maintenance on that many bikes would be a full-time job ÔÇö even if they're rarely, if ever, ridden.
Am I mistaken (looking at the Bonhams catalog listing) - but did BMW stop making motorcycles around 1996?

Perhaps his hiers are only selling part of the collection and are off riding the ones they are keeping.
