  • This BMW R65 has been used and enjoyed by the vendor

  • It comes complete with a current V5C

BMW introduced the R65 650cc twin in 1978 together with a smaller 450cc version, the R45. Both machines employed a horizontally opposed twin cylinder, air-cooled engine with two valves per cylinder and were equipped with a five-speed gearbox, single dry plate clutch and shaft final drive. Designed to appeal to riders who sought a machine with the long-distance touring ability of BMW's larger twins, but found the bulk intimidating, the new model featured a compact frame and lighter weight weighing 205K kg in comparison to the contemporary R75/7 at 215 kg. During the models seven year production life 29,454 examples were produced with only detail changes being made to the machine, a twin front disc system replaced the early models single front disc and electronic ignition was adopted in 1981.

This BMW R65 has been used and enjoyed by the vendor. Recently, the machine has had an oil and filter change and within the last 300 miles, has had two new tyres fitted. The machine is offered with a current V5C.
