BMW R65LS This Is Not The Same Engine Used On The Larger BMW, being a short stroke version

That’s the kind of bike BMW sporting new R 65 LS is, It looks exciting, it looks fast, it looks modern and if it’s exciting and fast and modern it must be computerized, turbocharged and have at least 1000cc. Despite the Gee Whiz styling, the R 65 LS is the kind of bike BMW has specialized in for years light, simple, agile and well finished. The engine is the 650cc ohv opposed Twin shared with the standard R65, Bore is 82 milimeter, stroke is 61,5 milimeter, compression ratio is 8,2:1, carburetors are 32 milimeters Bing CV. This is not the same engine used on the larger BMW, being a short stroke version, It was introduced with the R65 and European only R45 in 1979. The standard BMW engine has a 70,6 milimeters stroke, whether it is used in a 600cc bike or the 100cc bikes currently in production. Shortening the stroke for the R65 makes the engine narrower than it would be if the longer stroke were used, and it also enables the engine to have a relatively larger bore and thus bigger valves. At both ends of the LS are wheels quite unlike anything that’s ever appeared on a motorcycle before, Lirst they are antiseptic white, People who see the wheels are inclined to touch them to see if they are plastic they are so clean and lightlooking. Construction of the wheels is accordingly unusual, Rims are hardened aluminum. The spokes are cast of a softer alloy so the wheels have some flex while possessing adequate rim strength, In shape the wheel spokes are built out of two shapes, five elongated ovals in the center of the wheel tied to five triangular shapes of spoke extending to the rim. The white surface is hard enough to resist scratching and chipping in normal use and is smooth enough so it can be cleaned more easily than normal cast wheels. Rim diameter is 18 in, at both ends 1,85 in wide in front and 2,50 in wide in back, Tubes are used in the Continental tires.
