60s-era R BMW motorcycles are built like
tanks. The frame is a double-loop of heavy tubes that cradle the boxer
engine. A single plate clutch, mounted on a flywheel is like that of an
automobile. The suspension system uses a true "Earles fork" helping
fight front end dive during braking. Huge drum diameters provide massive
stopping power. |
