Just wanted to say thanks for allowing me join the group. My 18 year old grandson just got his first beemer. A 1980 R65 with a whopping 3,500 miles on it. I'ts been sitting for a while but runs great. We're gathering a few parts so we can get him on the road. He is super excited. I ride a 74 R90/6 and am looking forward to riding with him. :)

Welcome Mrabiff.
A 1980 bike can sometimes be a transition between the early 78-79 models and the later 1981 model so there are a few bikes out there that have some features of both which will impact on spares. Attached is a file with most of the detail differences. Let us know if it's a straight 1980 model or has some of the later 1981 features.
