BMWR 65 RT Monolever 1986 - 1987

　　The BMW R 65 RT Motolever was a touring motorcycle suited for riders who wanted to spend as much time behind bars but also wanted a fuel-efficient and agile bike.

　　In 1986, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R 65 RT Monolever, a touring motorcycle with the same package as the previous one, offering the same specifications without any changes.

　　The bike's visual department was characterized by standard fittings, like a full fairing with a round headlight, a large windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a luggage rack, side-mounted panniers, a dual exhaust system, a center stand, and aluminum alloy wheels.

　　In the power department, the 1996 BMW R 65 Monolever had installed a 649cc four-stroke air-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine underneath its fuel tank, boasting 48 hp at 7,250 rpm and 45 Nm (33 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

　　A five-speed transmission controlled by a dry single-plate clutch redirected the power generated by the engine to the rear wheel through a final shaft drive, launching the touring machine to a top speed of 169 kph (105 mph).

　　The front end was handled by a hydraulic telescopic fork with 175 mm of travel and two 260 mm brake discs tied to dual-piston calipers. In contrast, the rear end was controlled by a Monolever system and a 200 mm drum braking unit.
