Comments from the dealer
Meet the transformed legend, a 1980 BMW R650 that has transcended the realms of time and tradition through the skilled hands of a passionate engineer in his humble garage. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this vintage masterpiece stands as a testament to the marriage of classic aesthetics and modern ingenuity. The journey of this two-wheeled marvel begins with a custom rear frame seat, meticulously designed and crafted to seamlessly blend form and function. This modification not only enhances the bike's visual appeal but also ensures unparalleled comfort for the rider and passenger alike.
A symphony of steel and innovation unfolds as the top frame work is carefully sculpted, adding a touch of sophistication to the bike's silhouette while maintaining its timeless charm. The soul of the machine is rejuvenated with a full respray of the frame and tank, breathing new life into its weathered exterior. Each stroke of the paintbrush is a labor of love, restoring the bike to its former glory and beyond.
Beneath the surface lies a heart of steel, as the engine undergoes a meticulous refurbishment, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for miles to come. Powder-coated engine paint not only adds a touch of flair but also serves as a protective shield against the elements, preserving its pristine condition for generations. The rider is empowered with newfound control, thanks to the addition of new front controls and state-of-the-art Motogadget controls, seamlessly integrated into the bike's design.
Embracing the spirit of minimalism, the airbox is gracefully deleted, allowing the engine to breathe freely and unleashing its true potential. The roar of the engine is further amplified by the addition of a Zard exhaust, exuding an unmistakable symphony of power and performance. Every detail is meticulously curated, from the aftermarket gas cap to the resprayed wheels, each element a testament to the engineer's unwavering dedication to perfection.
As the sun sets on the garage, the transformed BMW R650 stands as a beacon of craftsmanship and passion, a true masterpiece born from the depths of imagination and brought to life through skill and determination.
BMW R650 is a light touring motorcycle introduced by BMW in 1978 to add a mid-size motorcycle to its product line. The original R650, contrary to the views of some commentators, has the same sized frame as the larger R series motorcycles. The R650 does however have a shorter swingarm than its siblings and therefore a shorter bolt-on rear sub-frame; this, along with the shorter front forks and 18" front wheel, gives the illusion that the R100 frame is smaller. The initial model R100 was manufactured until 1984. In 1985 the R650’s engine was put into the same frame and suspension as the R80 which featured a single rear shock absorber (mono-shock). Additionally, between 1981 and 1984. This R650 variant has a small triangular fairing that was designed by Hans Muth.
