Sport

The 750 R17 is a motorcycle produced by BMW from 1935 to 1937. It was designed to be a top-of-the-range motorcycle, with advanced technology and elegant design. The R17 quickly became one of BMW's most iconic models, and helped establish the brand as a leader in the motorcycle industry.

The BMW R17 was powered by a 736 cm³ in-line two-cylinder engine, which produced around 33 horsepower. It had a four-speed gearbox for smooth, seamless gear changes. The R17 was also equipped with a telescopic front and rear suspension system, making it one of the most comfortable motorcycles of its day. Innovative, the R17 was the first motorcycle to feature a telehydraulic fork as standard.

The design of the BMW R17 was equally remarkable. It featured a streamlined steel fuel tank and an elegant aluminum rear fender. The bike was available in several colors, including black, blue and red. The R17 was often considered one of the most beautiful motorcycles of its time, with elegant styling and quality finish.

The BMW R17 was also equipped with advanced safety features for its time. It had a front and rear drum braking system, offering excellent stopping power. The motorcycle was also equipped with a powerful headlight, tail lights and indicators, making it easily visible on the road.

Sadly, production of the BMW R17 was halted in 1937 due to the outbreak of the Second World War. However, its legacy has endured over the years, with many BMW R17 owners restoring and preserving these iconic motorcycles.
