BMW R65 1987

I'm no longer up to riding due to ongoing health problems and my wife says I need to let this go.

This could either go to somebody who wants to restore it to roadworthy condition and ride it, or to somebody who has the space and tools to wreck it for parts. I've said my goodbyes.

The Good:

Comes with BMW pannier holders, stainless steel mufflers in nice shape, Original Rider's Handbook (R65, R80, RR80RT) and Tookit. The seat is relatively new and so is the front wheel. By relatively new I mean these were replaced within the last 10 years. License plate 65RTI which might be of interest to another R65 owner out there.

The Bad:

Being sold as is where is. Not currently registered. Off road since June 2010, was due to be re-rigistered on 29/09/2014.

In order to get it back on the road it will need a new battery. The tires will probably still be good enough for WOF. It may need new header pipes. The collector box was replaced with a BMW one not many years before I took it off the road so it should be good.

The Ugly:

It seems to have picked up lots of superficial rust while it was stashed in the back of a shed. And the tank has sustained a little damage in the form of a scratch and a ding. I'm sure they weren't there when I put it away, but they are now. The right hand side cover is missing. I'm looking for it. I'm sure it was there when it was stored so it can't have gone far. Comes with vintage BMW panniers (painted blue by me to slow down UV light damage) which are still usable but elderly. German plastic just isn't up NZ sun.
