SUMMARY
Built by Curiosity Moto to an incredible standard, cleverly retaining the ethos of the original R65.
DESCRIPTION
- The R65 was completely dismantled and a custom rebuild was commenced in 2019
- All components were soda-blasted to ascertain the condition of the metal
- The brief was to create a modern bike whilst keeping the ethos of the original BMW
- Safety and design were important with all new (NOS) parts used throughout
- The 'Airhead' was completely rebuilt with usability and comfort being priorities
- Totally reliable and can be enjoyed for a Sunday ride out or long distance touring
- This bike has not been shown at any shows or events since its completion.
- This is one of the best custom builds Curious Motos have completed to date and is a true reflection of their ability and attention to detail.
