The BMW R 65 belongs to the smaller-capacity boxer twins that BMW introduced at the end of the 1970s. Launched in 1978, it used an air-cooled flat-twin engine of 650 cc and, like its larger siblings, drove the rear wheel through a shaft final drive. During its production run it was updated with the monolever single-sided swingarm, and throughout it was positioned as an accessible and well-built all-rounder.
By the late 1980s the R 65 had built a reputation for solid engineering and the smooth, easygoing character associated with BMW’s boxer range. These air-cooled twins remain popular today with riders who value classic BMW design and the relaxed touring manners that made them long-distance favourites.
