Hi all,

Purchased a 1982 R65 from the original owner who is now 72 years old.  Has 9,000 miles and appears to be in pretty good shape.  I look forward to learning more about the bike.

HI Greg,

Congrats on the new bike! I just purchased mine last week.

Why don't you create a thread when you have a minute, with a few pictures of your bike. I'd love to see a 9,000 mile example!

Hi semper gumby, must say my r45 is not original and definately not clean. Its my winter hack and ride to work bike,just now its parked outside under a foot of snow. mind last winter I didnt go near it for 3 weeks as it was up to the mirror glasses in snow , when the snow melted I drained the float bowls turned the fuel and ignition on and it started first touch of the button, my k1200lt will not do that it needs the battery taken out to stop the immobilizer flattening it, dont you just love modern technology ;)
