BMW Other description

1983 BMW R Series RT, 1983 BMW R80 RT Pacific Blue with approximate mileage 100,000. The odometer stopped working but the speedometer works fine. The bike runs great and is extremely dependable. I have owned it since 2001 and have logged many miles on it commuting to work. It has never once left me stranded. The rear tire is new and the new matching front tire is ready to be mounted. They are a matched set of Kenda Challengers. This is the second set of Kenda's on this bike. They handle as well as Metzler's but they out last them by at least 50% and they have a higher load rating than the Metzler's. They also out lasted my Bridgestone's and my Dunlop's and my Shinko's. I also have a new dashboard and a new set of the old style "peanut" valve covers and a new spare clutch cable for it as well as one used spare saddlebag (left side) and the original BMW expandable tank bag and tank cover. The bike has an Odyssey PC925 battery, a lift up rear rack, a Corbin seat with a two position removable back rest and I have the original factory seat that is in very good shape. I think I may have a few new oil filter kits left too. I had progressive fork springs installed in 2002 and they still handle like new. The paint and pinstripes are original and well-worn but still decent. The front discs have always looked worn but they work well and do not grab. Phone 770-487-6723 (please no calls after 9PM) Cash only. I have a link with 17 photos I can send if interested. Thanks $2,400.00 7704876723

EICMA 2012: BMW F800GT Announced as Replacement for F800ST

Tue, 13 Nov 2012

As we reported in August, BMW is replacing its F800ST sport tourer with a new, more touring-oriented version called the F800GT. Revealed at the 2012 EICMA Show in Milan, Italy, the 2013 BMW F800ST is equipped with a 798cc parallel Twin engine claiming 88 hp at 8000rpm, an increase from the BMW F800ST’s claim of 84 hp at 8000rpm (the 2012 F700GS and F800GS also claims 84hp from a similar engine.) Other changes include better wind protection, lighter wheels, new higher-mounted handlebars, repositioned footrests, and load capacity increased to 456 pounds from 432 pounds. Like all current BMW motorcycles, the F800GT comes standard with ABS.
