For some years now, as mo-
torcycles have grown larger, there's
been a pressing need for a high-quality
cycle in the mid-size market.
With the new R65, BMW
fills that need. Because it offers riders
the traditional BMW strengths-our
unique “balanced performance," our
well-known quality construction — in a
high-performance, downsized package.
It's an excellent way for a rider to move
up to a BMW without having to reach
so far down into his wallet.
The R65 is a mover. Cycle
\brld did the l/i mile in 14.31 at 92.49
mph. It's a fine sports machine, with
the low-end torque so essential to true
over-the-road performance. And it's a
fine touring cycle, with its long-travel
suspension and superior rider comfort.
Because the R65 is smaller
than our other motorcycles, it is also
more compact, lighter, and feels even
more nimble - making it ideal for both
men and women. And because it is
lighter, we have been able to create a
suspension system with all the bump-
swallowing characteristics our larger
machines are so famous for.
The R65 features cast alloy
wheels which offer superior strength
and low unsprung weight. They also
have a special rim design that provides
extra stability and control in the event
of a sudden flat tire.
Naturally, the R65 has shaft
drive, quite unique in its class. (We
pioneered the shaft-drive concept.) No
grease, no adjustments, no noise. And
a pleasure to own.
The R65 is constructed with
many cast alloy parts for lighter
weight, and the horizontally-opposed
twin keeps engine weight low. The re-
sult is super performance, handling and
maneuverability for a motorcycle of
65Occ.
Of course, the R65 has also
inherited the engineering simplicity of
its big brothers. Which means it is easy
to maintain, no matter where your
travels take you.
Last but not least, the R65
comes with a 12-month unlimited mile-
age limited warranty. When BMW
makes a motorcycle, it makes a commit-
ment co your riding pleasure.
Go to your nearest
BMW dealer and ask to see
the new generation BMW. :
