The BMW R50S, affectionately known as the "R50S R 50," was a significant step forward in the evolution of BMW's iconic boxer-twin motorcycles. Introduced in 1960, the R50S represented a powerful shift from the utilitarian models that had dominated the brand's output in the immediate post-war era. This motorcycle was designed with a focus on performance and handling, a clear departure from its predecessors, which were built primarily for durability and reliability. It featured a number of innovative features, including the first application of a telescopic front fork on a BMW motorcycle, a single-disc front brake, and a redesigned engine with a larger capacity and higher power output. The R50S boasted a 494cc, air-cooled, boxer-twin engine, capable of producing a respectable 26 horsepower, a significant increase over the previous R50 model. It also sported sleek, sporty bodywork, featuring a streamlined fuel tank, a low-set handlebar, and a minimalist design that further emphasized the R50S's sporting intent.

Despite its groundbreaking features, the production run of the R50S was relatively short, lasting only from 1960 to 1969. However, its impact on the motorcycle world was significant, cementing BMW's reputation for producing high-performance, high-quality motorcycles that could hold their own with the best in the world. Moreover, the R50S was a significant contributor to the development of the iconic BMW R69S, which became an even more popular and successful model in the 1960s and 1970s. The R50S's legacy lives on today, inspiring generations of riders and enthusiasts, and continuing to hold a special place in the history of BMW and the motorcycle world. The service repair manual, a vital tool for owners and mechanics alike, provides detailed information on the R50S's intricate mechanics and offers valuable guidance for maintaining and restoring this classic machine.
