For Sale: One Henna Red Rocket (1982 BMW r65LS)

1982 BMW r65LS in Henna Red (Hennarot) 649cc Twin Cylinder Boxer - Limited Edition.

Presented here for your pleasure is a motorcycle legend:

In 1982 the Hans Muth designed R65LS was introduced. 6,389 R65LS bikes were produced, which featured a triangular shaped pod fairing and instrument housing versus the standard naked front end of the R65. Furthermore a different rear seat featured pillion grab handles similar in style to the soon-to-be-introduced K Series BMWs. Different model transfers were used and the only colours were hennarot (red) and polaris (silver). Much of the chrome work of the R65 was replaced by black painted or black chrome features (exhaust piping, mufflers). Other features included:

• Lower front handlebars for a slightly more sporty seating position
• Different alloy wheel pattern - on red models painted white
• Different rear drum brake size
• Black chrome mufflers and black painted exhaust pipes
• Twin disc front brakes in-lieu of single disc
