AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

BMW R65 LS from 1983 - 69,326 km - with original BMW suitcases - German registered

The R65 LS is the sporty top version of the "little boxer" and distinguishes itself from the standard R65 by the distinctive cockpit fairing designed by Hans Muth (famous from the BMW R90S and the Suzuki Katana), the spoiler front fender and the twin disc brake at the front. This makes the LS clearly rarer and more desirable than the standard R65.

TECHNICAL
- 645 cc air-cooled twin boxer engine
- 37 kW / 50 hp at 7,250 rpm
- Five-speed gearbox with shaft drive
- Bing carburetors
- Dual front disc brakes with Brembo calipers and braided steel brake lines
- Cast wheels, Metzeler Perfect ME 11 tires
- Center stand and side stand present

EQUIPMENT
- Original BMW cockpit fairing, fitted with an additional (taller) windshield
- Complete original BMW luggage set: two side cases
- Rear rack and crash bars
- Extra instruments: voltmeter and oil pressure gauge
- Original BMW Bordbuch (instruction manual) present

CONDITION
The motorcycle starts, runs and rides well. It is a used classic of over forty years old, so there are signs of wear appropriate for its age. The photos are an integral part of the description; please view them carefully. Viewing is possible and recommended.

DOCUMENTATION AND HISTORY
The frame number 6353525 is stamped into the frame (see photo) and matches the papers. The motorcycle has a documented German history: the German Fahrzeugbrief (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II) is present, as well as the older registration and the Belgian customs documents (validated e705) from the import. The motorcycle is German-registered and the type-approval certificate (CoC) is present.

In the photos of the documents, the personal data of previous owners is redacted. The full documentation will of course be handed over to the buyer.

PICK-UP ONLY
This motorcycle is offered for collection only. It will not be shipped. The bike is located in Bocholt, Belgium, and must be collected there by the buyer. Viewing is possible before or at collection.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
