And correct me if I'm wrong, but statistical info and everything I've even read says the '81s were the only non-LS bikes to come with the dual front discs.
1982 saw the intro of the LS, and a reversion of the "standard" R65 to a single disc up front.

Now, Justin, how's about a few updated pics of your "RS" for its' many admirers, like me, as well as for those who may have never seen the ol' gal before?  ;)

Steve

The only 'standard' US model to have dual front discs was the 1981 model year.

It was a major factor in my purchasing my '81 R65 in 1981.

Had I known about the LS version , I may have held off on my purchase.
