In 1982 the R65LS designed by Hans Muth was introduced.
6,389 R65LS models were produced, with a triangular shaped pod fairing and instrument housing and a different rear seat with pillion grab handles similar in style to the then-imminent K Series BMWs.
Hennarot (red) paint with white 18 in (460 mm) alloy wheels or Polaris silber (silver) with silver wheels and different model transfers were used.
Much of the chrome work of the R65 was replaced by black painted or black chrome features (exhaust piping and mufflers).
Other features included:
Twin disc front brakes in-lieu of single disc
Lower handlebars
Different alloy wheel pattern
Different rear drum brake size
