Hi to All,
I am Martin or Toon, I live in Western Australia 50km's south of Perth the capital.
I have recently inherited a 1986 R65. black and pretty well stock. The father in law was a bare bike enthusiast having had and built many bikes over the years from early model BSA, Nortons to having 5 or 6 BMW's over the years. He has a very early club registered R75 which he sold to cover expenses of funeral etc.
I have never been into early bikes to ride but like the look and history. After riding the R65 for the last week, even in the freezing cold mornings, I am very surprised and happy with the performance.
Shaft drive is new to me as well, and a few rattles and clunks I will identify as time goes on. Not used to the rigidness of the bike but getting there. Happy with the torque and she likes to move up the rev's.
I also received a 2012 Kawasaki W800 and ride a Honda REPSOL replica 250 as my daily, till now.
I will load up a few picture later to day after work.
Thanks.
