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, which shared identical cycle parts, featured sharper, more modern styling while both weight and overall dimensions were reduced. Tested by Bike magazine in 1979, the R45 recorded a top speed of 95mph (152km/h) while returning an impressive overall fuel consumption of 56.2mpg (5.03 litres/100km). Few changes were made to these smaller twins before production ceased in 1985.

There are no documents with this German Police-specification R45, which currently displays a total of 59,049 kilometres on the odometer. The engine turns over.
