The R26 was BMWs first swing-arm single cylinder. It was produced from 1955 until 1961. The serial numbers of the model range from 340007 through 370242.
The R26 has a higher compression engine giving a modest power gain to 15 BHP, sufficient to propel the bike up to a quoted top speed of 75 MPH. It’s still no road burner, but very delightful to ride.
