About this model
About the Bmw R 65 LS
The BMW R 65 LS is a sport-styled variant of the R 65, produced from 1981 to 1985. The air-cooled 650cc twin-cylinder boxer delivers 50 hp and was given a half-fairing, clip-on handlebars and a revised seat in LS trim, designed to appeal to a younger, more sporty riding audience. The shaft drive and characteristic BMW Telelever frame were carried over unchanged from the standard R 65.
The R 65 LS suits experienced riders who prefer a light, nimble machine without the complexity of a larger twin. At 194 kg dry weight and a relatively low seat height it remains accessible. Typical use is country-road riding and light touring. Competitors from the same era include the Honda CB 650 and Kawasaki Z 650.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the shaft drive for oil seepage at the joints; seals harden after forty years.
- Inspect the half-fairing for cracks and original mounting points; replacement parts are scarce.
- Check the alternator diode board for burn marks; a known weakness on early airhead models.
- Inspect the Bing carburettors for float-chamber wear and correct synchronisation.
- Check the front fork for oil leaks and pitting on the steel stanchions; common after decades of use.
