BMW R-65 Too good to be true?

Seems cheap, but he uses all the right words and takes all the right pictures.

Apart from R60/5 != R65 , I think the the price is about right. Everybody wants the R75/5 so the two smaller ones are not that sought after and not that expensive. Plus, this one isn't running...

I'd look to get it for around $2k and part it out if there is serious issue with it.

Yea seems about right for a non-runner. I wish they weren't so valuable, I want one but they aren't in my project price range.

Depends upon what you are looking for. It is a /5, by the way. I'd go for a /6 if you want the style but a better bike to deal with. Or even a /7. My 2c.

The ad says bike run good stop good. So isn't that a runner? It also says the engine is not stuck?? Sure it isn't stuck if it run good.

The price doesn't seem bad to me, but I would probably rather have a LWB model.

Ad sez "running before start of previous owner DIY restore project".

I'm inferring that it now doesn't.

I wondered about that too. Why wouldn't you post current pictures too?
