Ranger Jim
Sport Tourer
I've got the chance to pick up a '79 R65 BMW for $1000. The bike is in fair condition. The present owner had dual disk front brakes installed and has done some other minor work. It currently isn't running due to a dead battery (hasn't been running for about a year). From what he described as it's problems, it's nothing that I can't likely fix. Good buy or not? I'd be getting it as a knock around bike, not a tourer; just something lighter than the Connie to ride to the store for a loaf of bread or whatever.
