The 1955 BMW R 55 has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 494cc, boxer twin cylinder powerplant mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and can produce a claimed 26 horsepower at 5800 rpm. Standard fittings for this machine include a telescopic front fork, a rear suspension composed of a long swinging arm with suspension units and oil pressure shock absorbers, a drum braking system, a single seat, laced wheels, a large headlamp, full fenders, and mid-mounted foot pegs. | The 1955 BMW R 55 has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 494cc, boxer twin cylinder powerplant mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and can produce a claimed 26 horsepower at 5800 rpm.
