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 model’s 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 1983 BMW R65 was purchased by the current owner some years ago, having been used sparingly in his ownership. Apart from the exhaust pipes the machine is very original and is in very good order. It comes complete with its tool kit and lots of old MOT certificates and a V5C.
