R60/2

It appears— http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_R60/2 —that production of R60/2 only began in 1960. The film was shot in 1959 (Italian release: september 59). Wouldn't in fact the bikes depicted above be R50 or R60?

Renseignement pris, à l'époque les motards roulaient en BMW, alors si le film est conforme à la réalité... BMW R69 ou R60, je ne sais pas faire la différence. La R60 a équipé la gendarmerie dans les années 60-70. Je penche pr la R60.

On aperçoit un des cylindres à plat (le flat-twin, caractéristique des Béhèmes) sur le 2 premières photos. Sur la dernière photo c'est le sigle BMW qui est visible (la moto à droite). R 75 ? no, of the /2 range: R50 more common than R60 Earles front fork

one of the "Vollschwingen-BMW" so its R60, R 69, R 60/2, R 50 S, R 69 S (R 50, R 50/2 was only for police and somthing)

If the plate is a real one (police-combination), the Mercedes in the background is from 1956/57. The small dash between the S and the number is over the middle.

'55- R50 or R60. R60 is more likely because sidecar is fitted.

Looks like an early boxer - 1960's R60/ 65? with earles forks and the large capacity racing tank which should help to date it more accurately

I may say It's BMW R60 (1956-60) It's R50 or R60, from the head light case seems smaller than newer one, air filter case has choke unit, and head cover with many ribs. Based on the policeman using it, R60 is suitable for. Maintenant, c'est l'autre qui semble poser problème. Ariel Arrow? Pas Ariel (fourche un peu trop conventionnelle...)

La seconde moto (qui démarre en premier) serait une BSA A7.
