Looks like it was built June of 1965 from that code.  Good luck.

A fine looking bike!  My first motorcycle was a 65 BS 90, looked exactly like what you have there!  Put lots of miles on it, loved every mile.  Never caused a bit of trouble.  Hottest 90 in Cedar Falls, and that was before making the modifications in the "Tuning Up for Performance" booklet, including the expansion chamber made in HS shop class.
