Guess how much a New 1983 BMW R65LS Motorcycle went for back then?

When the production of a motorcycle is limited, the attention to detail isn't.

This year fewer than 5,000 BMW motorcycles were produced for the entire continent of North America.....all BMW frames...are welded by hand...while the average motorcycle will rattle to the scrap pile before reaching 14,000 miles, the workmanship and materials on every BMW are confidently covered by a limited warranty for 3 years. And an unlimited number of miles.

The end, it would seem, more than justifies the means. And helps a machine like the $3,990 R65LS more than justify its price.

Under the old Superbike rules, street bikes were hot-rodded into racers with special pieces top to bottom. Under the new 750 Superbike rules, if you want to build a race bike, you'd better build one for the street first. Honda did that. For starters.
