I bought the R65 at Cascade BMW (now defunct) a few weeks after finishing my MSF beginner course. I found it on the Cascade webpage, and it was pretty cool looking. I shelled out exactly $3000 for it, and rode it on short jaunts all over town. Never really took any long rides on it, worried that it might break down (although it never did).
