BMW R-Series description

Vintage BMW Motorcycle 1979 "Motorsports" R65 with Full Body Pichler Fairing. 

This a well-loved motorcycle, a member of our family for over 11 years. The odometer shows 34,662 miles. Color is a specially chosen "BMW Saturn Blue 176", with engine, transmission, bars, wheels, exhaust, crash bars in black. Smoke windshield, leather Denfeld "Police Pursuit" bags that fit the installed Krauser rack system. After we purchased it, we treated it to this professional cosmetic, paint and mechanical refurbishment. Seat was  rebuilt and recovered in black Sergeants "carbonfiber" knitted material. The seldom seen German "Typ ESX" Pichler fairing is specific to this model, has all the correct frame mounts, trim and fittings, as well as the original factory stickers inside. Original Pichler sales literature and specifications will be included.

Fired enamel Motorsports emblems on tank and tail, BMW tool kit, BMW shop rag, tire pump, first aid kit, new owner's manual. Recent New Hampshire registration. A certified NH “antique motorcycle” title can be provided if required, along with NH State Police and Motor Vehicles Certification of valid numbers which is proof of non-theft, non-salvage history. Well loved, always garaged, but son's college costs force sale. Never left outside or ridden in the rain since we've owned it. 

Many recent (within the last 500 miles) professional upgrades, replacements or repairs consisting of, but not limited to:

  • Adjustment of Timing Chain and Points
  • Charging system tested at 14.1 Volts DC at 3,500 RPM
  • Replacement starter and new solenoid
  • New ring gear, and flywheel tested and balanced
  • New rear main seal and oil pump cover gasket
  • Lubed transmission input shaft splines
  • Aligned swing arm
  • New master cylinder, pads and bled brakes
  • Flushed gas tank and rebuilt fuel tap
  • New fuel lines and gas cap seal
  • Rebuilt carbs with all correct jetting

  • New ignition wires, plugs and caps
  • New front coil 
  • New grips
  • Replaced handlebars with K-series black bars
  • Fresh correct fluids front to back. NO synthetic oils were used.


Recent tune-up by local Certified Master BMW Motorrad Technician. Bike has good compression per the shop manual, and does not smoke on startup or any other time. Shifts smoothly, pulls strong in any gear and is a delight to ride. Tires still very good with no uneven wear or damage. 

The low reserve is realistic and quite reasonable.

I can assist with shipping arrangements but shipping/crating is at buyer’s expense.

Own (what could be) a piece of motorcycling history

Get bidding for what could be a revolutionary motorcycle, as the advert states all you need is, "a fair wedge of ingenuity" to marry together a BMW K75 and the 1.4 diesel engine from a Citroen AX. Thankfully the seller will be able to help with the project: "I have most of the design lodged firmly in my head, and will be more than happy to provide information." With a starting price of £100 and no bids the diesel project bike only has one day left on eBay
