1982 BMW R65 for $300, worth it?
Had an interesting offer today from a friend of a friend. He's got an 1982 R65 that's been sitting for a few years. The motor spins fine, seat is in perfect shape, but needs a complete go through. I'd strip and re-paint the tank myself.
I asked him what he wanted for it as a project. He said $300.
I'll assume that it will need new rings and a full carb rebuild at the least. Am I getting in over my head by taking this one on? Anything about this particular model I should know? Can the jugs be replaced with larger ones? take it up to a 750 or larger perhaps?
I know there's a few airhead guys here. Any info would be helpful.
