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.

WSBK 2012: Assen Results

Mon, 23 Apr 2012

The Netherlands hosted a dramatic weekend of World Superbike racing that featured a red-flagged wet race, several riders crashing while leading, a first-time race winner, a photo finish between two teammates and the reigning World Champion finishing out of the points because of a poor choice of tires. The 2011 WSBK Champion Carlos Checa arrived at Assen with the lead in the championship and a three-race winning streak, but opting to run wet tires in Race Two cost him the lead and may have contributed to a crash that severely injured Liberty Racing‘s Brett McCormick.
