$9,000

Bakersfield, California

This is a wonderful example of an unrestored 1981 BMW R80 G/S. This was BMW's first import into the U.S. of the amazing GS line. From a VIN search on Adventure Rider it was manufactured in April of 1981 and first sold in Denver Colorado. The bike is pictured with a R100GS PD tank with the single seat and rack. I have all the original blue body work and tank which are in excellent condition. I also have a white tank with the PD colors and several original PD decals. I purchased the bike after it had sat for awhile. I replaced several electric components, all with original parts and put a new battery. I have all the parts I replaced. I wasn't smart enough to determine it was the ignition switch so I started changing parts. Expensive lesson in trial and error. I also replaced the steering head bearings and fork gaiters. I've recently changed all the fluids. The bike does not leak a drop and starts like a champ with only a little choke on cold mornings. The transmission is a little notchy. I understand that is a characteristic of these airheads. This bike is a joy to ride. I have not ridden it off road except some local forest service roads. I ride it to work regularly and it can travel the interstate or the backroads just fine. These bikes are becoming harder to fine, especially one that has not been monkey'd with. The previous owner put a great deal of care into the bike and I've tried to maintain that tradition using only original parts and keeping the bike as a well kept version of a modern classic. The history of the bike can be researched on Adventure Rider under several forums. It's R80G/S #2680. The frame and serial numbers match as noted in the pictures. The previous owner replaced the odometer. It currently reads 1,641 miles but the original odometer was reported to have approximately 32,000 miles. Of course I don't know the actual mileage but it appears to be less than 35,000 miles. The condition of the bike supports that estimate. I also have the original complete tool kit including the hand air pump. Please feel free to ask any questions.
