Offered for sale is this matching numbers 1982 BMW R65LS. This machine would make a wonderful Winter project for someone. The BMW R65LS has always had a cult following, but in the last year or so interest & prices have really started to climb. Nice LS’s are often selling in the same price range that an R90S used to sell for just a few years ago. Anyone who has owned one can tell you that they are really a great bike to have – you don’t need 1000cc twin to have fun! And don’t forget the legendary Hans Muth styling. So if you have been thinking about adding an LS to your collection, this would be a good time to act. This machine is currently not running, and this is how I got it. There is a new Thunderchild diode board, still in the package, that came with the bike (and is included with the sale), so electrical gremlins may have parked it. There are a few dents in the tank, and also a hole in the seat cover, but otherwise it looks very complete and original. It still has the original black painted exhaust that it was born with, which was changed to black chrome on the later bikes. The engine does turn over and the bike shifts through the gears. I had planned to do a restoration on it at some point, but I already have a red LS, along with other projects that I want to do first - so one LS may just be enough for me. So here is your chance to get a nice bike at a fair price. Please ask all questions before bidding or buying. Payment is expected within one week of auction end, and the bike must be picked up or shipped within one month of auction end. Sorry, no Paypal. Personal checks accepted, however this will delay shipment. Sorry but the bike does not move before full payment is received - no exceptions. Overseas sales are fine, however I cannot help with quotes. Good luck!
