Make an offer or buy it now! I need room in my garage so i am looking to sell the bike. I will probably take the first real good offer so if you are a bmw lover you don't want to miss out on this one! THIS IS A 1981 BMW R65 33,165 MILES GOT THIS BIKE FROM A GUY NEAR ME WHO STOPPED RIDING IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. IT JUST WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE COLLECTING DUST. PRIOR TO BEING PUT AWAY IT WAS TUNED UP AND HAD BRAND NEW TIRES PUT ON IT. THE NEW TIRES WERE RIDDEN ON TWICE BEFORE HE STOPPED RIDING IT. WHEN I BROUGHT IT HOME IT HAD NOT BEEN USED FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. I PUT IN A NEW BATTERY, I CLEANED THE CARBS AND I ADDED SOME GAS AND NEW SPARK PLUGS. THE BIKE STARTS RIGHT UP AND RUNS SMOOTH- NO SMOKE OR ENGINE NOISE. ENGINE SOUNDS TIGHT- HOWEVER IF I TURN IT OFF IT IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. A LITTLE DRIP OF GAS IS COMING FROM THE OVERFLOW ON THE RIGHT CARB. THIS BIKE HAD PROPER MAINTENANCE IN THE PAST ON A ROUTINE BASIS UNTIL IT WAS PUT AWAY AND SAT. SO I CAN SAY ITS A RUNNER BUT NEEDS A TUNE UP OR A LITTLE BMW FINE TUNING FROM SITTING. WHAT I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT PHYSICAL CONDITION- THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STICKING SO I TOOK OUT THE PADS TO MAKE MOVING IT AROUND EASIER- I KNOW THESE A.T.E. BRAKE CALIPERS AREN'T EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA, BUT "MAX BMW" HAS THE PARTS IN STOCK TO SORT THEM OUT-INCLUDING SEALS ETC TO REBULD THEM IF YOU NEED TO. MISSING THE SIDE COVERS. THE TANK LOOKS DECENT ENOUGH INSIDE BUT IT HAD A FEW PINHOLES IN THE PAINT ON THE UNDERSIDE THAT LOOKED SUSPECT TO ME SO I COATED THEM WITH SOME SEAL-ALL just in case- its clear so you don't see it. THERE ARE NO LEAKS. You could coat the inside of the tank if you feel the need but not necessary in my opinion. THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW AND STILL HAVE THE NUBS ON THEM. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. THE FORKS LOOK GOOD- NO LEAKS. IT SHIFTS THROUGH THE GEARS FINE. EXHAUST IS IN GREAT SHAPE. THE SEAT HAS A CRACK IN THE COVER- SEE PICS. THE SEAT LOCK KEY HOLE IS MISSING THE KEY MECHANISM. THERE IS NO KEY WITH THE BIKE- HOWEVER JUST ABOUT ANY KEY WORKS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO TURN IT ON AND OFF. IGNITION IS INTACT AND ORIGINAL. ANY KEY WORKS IN THE GAS CAP ALSO-IT IS ALSO INTACT. NO ENGINE LEAKS THAT I CAN SEE ANYWHERE. ITS A NICE BMWR65 THAT WAS ALWAYS MAINTANED BUT HAS SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF COLECTING DUST. IT RUNS SMOOTH AND STRONG, JUST IS A BIT DIFFICULT TO RESTART. JUST NEEDS AN AFTERNOON OF FINE TUNING AND IM SURE IT WILL BE FINE. I AM NOT AN AIRHEAD GUY SO I'D RATHER LEAVE THIS ONE TO A TRUE BMW GUY WHO WILL GIVE IT PROPER ATTENTION . IT HAS A CLEAR N.J TITLE. I AM SELLING IT AS IS AS DESCRIBED. NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE IMPLIED OR GIVEN. I AM SELLING THIS BIKE WITH A BUY IT NOW- BEST OFFER OPTION. SO BUY IT NOW OR MAKE YOUR BEST OFFER. PLEASE BE READY TO FOLLOW THE PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS. BIKE IS PICK UP ONLY AT MY HOUSE IN ASBURY PARK NJ 07712. I WILL KEEP IT LOCKED IN MY GARAGE UNTIL PICKUP-PLEASE PICK IT UP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF AUCTION END.
