That is one sweet looking cycle. There are a bunch of great looking R65's out there.

Looks like someone took real good care of her. All the rubber looks brand new.

Looks good, and what's more, it appears that it is a '79 bike that has been upgraded with the 1981+ rectangular (rebuildable) front brake master cylinder, which is another plus!

Very nice!

Always nice to get a bike someone has looked after. Seems you have some stainless fasteners too.
