1981 BMW R-Series R80 797cc for Sale

This is a second owner original, unmolested, as it came from the dealer in 1981 BMW R80 G/S with 10,0XX actual miles and matching numbers.

Current registration and clean title. It has two non-BMW parts; a period correct San Jose front fork brace and air adjustable front fork caps. The original owner used the bike mostly for travelling on dirt

and gravel roads so there are a lot of small rock chips in the paint and some surface rust. The original owner had the front fork seals and boots replaced and had done some rattle can painting on the frame, brackets and other parts so the black paint (and possibly silver alternator cover and rear differential) is not all original.

The exhaust system is rusted but seems solid. The bike has the original BMW toolbox (missing the cover) toolkit, air pump and owner ’s manual. The original rear luggage rack and side saddlebag mounting racks are in very good condition; the saddlebags themselves have the usual cracks present (one has had the back blown out) but repaired. The battery was replaced

this March. The carburetors were completely rebuilt last year and the spark plugs replaced. Various rubber parts, reflectors and bolts were also replaced. The bike starts easily runs great and shifts smoothly; The center stand is correct but not original to the bike.

The right side crash bar is original to the bike; the left crash bar and side stand are correct but not original to the bike. The side stand has had a brace added to the bottom for better stability. Issues: The bike has a crack in the headlight and the bike has accumulated scrapes and dings that a 39 year old dual sport bike driven on dirt and gravel roads would be expected to have. There is rust present in places and one of the front fork uppers has some rust pitting. The tires appear to be almost new, but they have weather cracks and should be replaced.
