BMW R-Series description

I am selling my 1978 BMW R80/7 motorcycle because I don't have time to ride as much as I want to

I bought this bike approximately two and a half years ago from its original owner and brought it back to life. There were never any major issues with it, he had just run out of time to use it.

Since purchasing it I have cleaned it up quite well and it starts right up and runs great.  Could use some fine tuning but it started right up after being stored in my garage all winter.

-Fresh oil & plugs
-new petcocks
-new battery
-Tank and fenders have been cleaned of all debris and repainted

29,900 miles

Overall it's in great shape considering its a 38 year old bike.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or additional pictures but I would love to pass this on to another enthusiast.

Clean title in hand!
