Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it is a 1966 R27.

It appears to be similar. The R27 in the picture has an Earls fork and a swing arm rear while the one I saw has a telescopic fork and a plunger rear shock. Possibly a variation.

I do believe I found it. A 1953 R25/2. Here is a more pristine one.

Actually I belive it was a parrell twin. At first I thought it was a Horex (external link) and I am still not convinced that it was not.

Third one down 1953 R51/3 Looks like a match to me. Longer more slender tank than the others and the rear shock is positioned correctly.

No, the R/51 clearly has the larger boxer engine, this one is the single (R25)

IMAGE: http://www.r25-bike.de/Start/baureihe/r25/techdata/pics/r25_1.jpg

The later R27 had the rounded rear suspension.

If your German is up to it, you can read more at http://www.r25-bike.de (external link)

Best regards,
Andy
