The BMW R 11 was the first touring motorcycle in the 750cc class manufactured by the German Motorcycle with a pressed-steel frame in duplex form, in the vein of the Neander motorcycle of Ernst Neumann-Neander. [1]
7,500 R 11 motorcycles were produced between 1930 and 1934.
In 1928, BMW presented with the R 11 and R 16, the first motorcycles with a pressed steel frame. [2] In BMW's price lists No. 37 [3] and No. 38 [4] from January and February 1929, the motorcycles were announced for early 1930. The motorcycles were no longer listed in March 1929's price list No. 39. [5] Delivery of the motorcycles first began in Germany in the summer of 1930. [6] [2]
Its M 56 engine was a four-stroke two-cylinder valve-in-block boxer engine.
The gray iron cylinder had removable aluminium cylinder heads and radial cooling fins.
The R 11 had a manual transmission with a driveshaft on the right side of the unsprung rear wheel.
The kickstarter was operated at a right angle to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. [7]
