The '''[[BMW]] R26''' was a single cylinder, [[four-stroke]] Classic [[motorcycle]] produced by [[BMW]] between 1956 and 1960. It could reach a top speed of 80 mph (128 km/h).

Built to the same exemplary standards as the Bavarian company's famous flat-twins, the single-cylinder [[BMW|BMW]] first appeared in pre-war days. Indeed, BMW's first new post-war model was a single-cylinder design - the 250cc [[BMW R24|BMW R24]] - which arrived in 1948. In 1956 [[BMW]] introduced a completely revamped [[thumper]] replacing the [[BMW R25]], the '''R26''' (engine numbers 340 001 – 370 236), with improvements paralleling those introduced at the same time in the boxer twins. The R26 came with an enclosed drive shaft, rear [[swingarm]], and front Earles forks. A new headlight [[nacelle]] came with a sliding black plastic over the ignition key, and the “bell-bottom” front fender was dropped along with the mechanics' hand shifter. The engine of the R26 was bolted directly to the frame, and produced 15 [[hp]] (11 kW). These machines like other [[single cylinder]] BMW's were famous for their reliability, economy, and quiet operation, a very desirable feature when used for law enforcement in metropolitan areas. | |||
