BMW R-Series description

Beautiful and very rare 1986 BMW R80G/S in 99% original condition (it can be returned to original condition easily.) The side-stand and LED tail lights are the only modifications from stock that I am aware of.

Under 20,000 miles. Not abused and showing no signs of ever being wrecked. Comes with original tool kit, air pump, tool tray, and BMW panniers. Panniers are in usable, fair, condition (there are repaired cracks in the plastic - very common with these panniers.) I do not have the owner's manual.

Mechanically it is in excellent condition. It starts easily, runs, drives, shifts and brakes as an R80G/S should. It is a pleasure to ride.

I bought this R80G/S intending to keep it forever but I am moving in a few months and space will be very tight. I have set a reasonable reserve that is below the price of recent sales for comparable motorcycles. If it does not meet the reserve I will keep it.

The new owner can choose to keep it in original condition or restore it to showroom condition.

I prefer to sell it to someone who can see it in person first, if at all possible. If you can't view it in person please keep in mind that photos tend to hide minor cosmetic imperfections. This G/S is very presentable but does not look like new. The overall condition and patina are appropriate for a motorcycle of this vintage.

$500 deposit due within 48 hours of the auction ending, payable by Paypal. The remaining balance must be paid before the motorcycle is picked up. If the balance is paid by check, it must clear the bank first. The motorcycle can be picked up in Seattle, Washington. Buyer to make arrangements for delivery and I will provide assistance.

Seeley On Form On First Night Of North West 200

Fri, 16 May 2014

Alastair Seeley took a double in the Ballymoney Borough council Supersport and Pirtek Superstock events at the start of racing at the Vauxhall International North West 200 this evening, what many “real” road racers refer to as the precursor to the Isle Of Man TT. In the Supersport race, the ‘Wee Wizard’ survived being caught up in a first lap crash at York hairpin that left him languishing in 16th to come through and win the opening race of the night on his Mar-Train Yamaha R6. Lee Johnston was the rider who went down in the first lap crash, causing Seeley to take evasive action to avoid going down himself.

BMW Lo Rider Concept at EICMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2008

BMW Motorrad has unveiled a bold new concept bike at the EICMA show in Milan which they call a study in design and engineering. Using the words purist and powerful to describe the concept, BMW has left nothing but the essentials present in a truly naked motorcycle. One of the goals of this concept is to custom fit man and machine.
