STOCK #: 370395 COLOR: Black (not original) MILEAGE: 14,757 (claimed original but can’t confirm) ACCESSORIES & OPTIONS: It sports a rare German Police gas tank, BUB mufflers, stainless steel brake lines and Koni shocks. Cylinder guards and BMW saddlebag mounts are included but not installed. COSMETIC CONDITION: better than average with some assorted flecks and less than perfect prep paint blems throughout, a small tear in the side of the seat and just a few bits of hardware or some alloy pieces that show exposure the largest part needing to be replaced is the gas cap that is simply broken. The gauges appear finer and all signals, lights and horn operate as well as the odometer reset. Fork seals look great as do both discs and it even has stainless brake lines. MECHANICAL CONDITION: The engine turns freely, gearbox goes through all gear easily, carbs are off & disassembled but look complete and fine --- we can see that one diaphragm is bad. Front brakes still feel decent, tires appear to have seen less than 500 miles since new in 2005, battery still had life on 05-13-10 to crank strong but we are not charging it regularly. NOTES: The most important fact we can share is that the title matches the engine, not the frame. This indicates the bike was crashed at one time and was rebuilt with another straight R65LS frame; it’s factory stamped as such. To place it into legal, titled and tagged ownership and placed most all states would inspect it and provide you with reconstructed title showing both numbers. This will be your responsibility to undertake. You might have other ideas about how to go about this or just think it’s a deal as a spare parts bike since everything looks good. It will be sold with a bill of sale and the title it came into us with. This is the 2nd “project bike” we purchased from this customer whose health began to fail and suspect he just gave up finishing anything. We believe that with a full carb rebuild, fresh fluids and some TLC it would appear that one would have a running R65LS in non-stock. Two sets of new BMW brake pads and what looks like a complete front master cylinder rebuild kit is also included. These parts can not be guaranteed. BMW saddlebag mounts The smart person who buys this bike will have a great looking, head turning classic BMW to enjoy for many years of riding pleasure if it all comes to be as we suspect it will.
