Congrats! The black engine (instead of gray) and the headlight bezel suggests that it is an 85. $1200 for a good running R is a good deal!

The frame for me is how to ID the year, all the parts "could" be swapped out in the life of an R.
Your brake setup is 85 but that sprocket stay is aftermarket and is an 86 style, compare my second pic to your pic.
Couple areas to check to verify if the frame is 85 or 86, by the foot pegs, the rear tail light mounts and the rear gas tank mount.
The 85 frame has small steel brackets that are attached to the frame for the tail light, the 86 has brackets not attached to the frame and bolts behind the grab bar. Compare the pics below.
The 85 frame foot pegs there is no gap between the bolt holes, the 86 has an are where dirt and debris could build up, hard to describe.
This is the 85R frame.
This is the 86R frame.
