I have a '69 R69S which is about 400 units higher than yours. I've been told my bike was built March/April 1968 and delivered to a German dealer in December 1968. You should try sending an email to:
Shouldn't take long, depending on how busy they are. I'd suspect in a week of so... If several weeks go by, I have another email addy within the organization that you could try. But I think they'll just forward the email to Fred or someone in his area.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.
I was sent a response to my querry, and was told that the records were incomplete and that my bike was built detween autumn 67 and spring 68 and could very well be a 67 model. If you have more info for more complete data please contact me. TIFN
Robert, I do not believe any US models were sold as 1967s. If the dealer received them in late 1967 you can bet that they were sold as 1968s. This also is the first time that I remember seeing colors other than black or white..........Comet
