1948 BMW R 24
Site visits: 
The 250cc 1948 R24 single was BMW's first postwar motorcycle, and the only postwar BMW motorcycle without a rear suspension. It was, in essence, a copy of the prewar 1938 R23, which is seen below.
Because the R24 was the first postwar BMW, many of its parts were left-over prewar parts for the R23. This can present difficulties for someone restoring an R24 because prewar parts are harder to find than postwar parts.
