[edit] small stuff

"Veteran - officially a car made up to and including December 1918

Vintage - officially a car made between 1919 and 1930. Although the term is often used to describe any car made before World War 2.

Classic - generally any car that is no longer in production that is still popular. For classic car events organised by the Motor Sports Association (MSA) eligibility is set at 20 years. Generally this term is applied to cars from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

Modern Classics - recently a number of cars are being referred to as modern classics. These tend to be iconic cars from some of the classic marques that people believe stand out enough to be classics. Examples include: Ferarri Enzo; Jaguar XK8R; Aston Martin DB9."

So the R60 to R69 are "classic", not vintage. What is vintage doesn't change, but what is "collectible" does.

For typical wiki format, that first sentence of your intro should be up top, above all headings, as a short explanation of what the article is about..

and then the motorcycle is reassembled hewing as much as possible to the original design Where you've got 'hewing', shouldn't that be adhering or keeping?

Other people would probably suggest other things. The R69S was considered by some to be the last "real" BMW motorcycle, and the best. Seasalt 14:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

All the non-R60/2 links should be removed and/or placed on one of the more generic BMW articles.--Hooperbloob 04:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
