BMW extended its range of horizontally-opposed twins in the late 1970s with the introduction of the R45 and R65. Looking very much like scaled down versions of BMW's larger models, the duo shared identical cycle parts and featured sharper, more modern styling while both weight and overall dimensions were reduced. "The R65 really is an amazing all-rounder," declared Bike magazine's tester back in 1982. "There's 100mph perform¬ance, 57mpg if you're gentle and 41mpg if you're not..." Previously registered 'GPL 11V', this R65 was registered to its late owner on 9th July 2008. The current odometer reading is 31,903 miles and the machine would respond well to detailing. Re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before returning it to the road. The machine is offered with a V5C document; SORN paperwork; sundry invoices; Rider's Handbook; and some old MoTs (most recent expired 2005).
