Motorad ist gut.” Motorcycle is good. I believe these words crossed the mind of a BMW Engine: er as he or she gazed upon the final prototype of what we now know as the R65LS.

Born in 1981, the R65LS was an enlarged version of the R60. BMW accomplished this primarily by boring out the cylinders of the R60 and increasing the displacement from 600cc to 650cc.
