The 65LS was a one-off with a unique fairing and seat unit. https://www.rideapart.com/motorcycle-lists/1983-bmw-r65ls-for-sale-henna-red/
Designed by the same guy as the Suzuki Katana. He also did the R90S, R100RS and R80G/S https://www.cycleworld.com/story/bikes/hans-muth-and-suzuki-katana-connection/
I was having trouble id'ing it. I thought that era only had 800's for some reason. I had guessed early 80's from the later airbox, the carbs look like later Bings. Moulding on the rear of seat definitely not 70's.
Great that it's not a monoshock too.
They must have been naked or some weird fairings on release. Bars look like the sportier models.
