BMW R47

The BMW R47 is a classic motorcycle produced from 1927 to 1928 and is considered a sporty development of the BMW R42. It was equipped with a 494 cc, two-cylinder boxer engine producing 18 hp and enabling a top speed of approximately 115 km/h (71 mph)—impressive for the time. The R47 offered improved performance and a sportier chassis, making it particularly popular with racers and sport-oriented riders. With its striking appearance and characteristic boxer engine technology, the BMW R47 is now a sought-after collector's item and an important milestone in the history of BMW motorcycles.
