Description
Offered for sale is this classic 1979 BMW R65, finished in factory red and presenting as a clean, honest example of BMW’s lightweight boxer twin.
With a 649cc air-cooled engine and a 5-speed gearbox, the R65 was designed to be nimble, practical and confidence-inspiring — ideal for riders who want the charm of a vintage BMW without the bulk of the larger models.
This particular bike is fitted with a genuine BMW touring screen and benefits from the original centre stand. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and delivers that unmistakable boxer character with a relaxed, planted ride.
The paintwork presents well with just the right amount of patina, and it’s clear the bike has been well cared for. It’s not a showpiece, but it’s a well-preserved, ride-ready machine that offers classic BMW ownership at an approachable price point.
Whether you’re after a weekend classic or a vintage commuter, this R65 is ready to be enjoyed
