There has been regular maintenance done on the bike with years of receipts.
Without going into all the details the engine was serviced with new pistons, rods and slingers cleaned, tranny, kicker, carbs serviced plus more.....
About a year ago converted to 12 volts and electronic ignition.
Is a bit rougher in real life but shows genuine use.
Started from cold with one kick. Power, shifting and handling no issues
Couldn't pass it up it hit all the marks for me. Also original tool roll, owners manual and a newer repop of the original 4 language repair manual and one in English only.
New adventure!!

You have a good wife. Perusing cycle trader for vintage bikes is a sure sign that you married well!
Reading a bit between the words...so, did you go see it? Are you the new owner? If so...pics! There’s an R50/2 for sale in Atlanta that looks interesting...but way over priced. I owned a 1954 R25 a few years ago. Fun little adventure but that bike was purely a novelty as it wasn’t really capable of modern roads or speeds much above 50.
