BMW R-Series description

You are bidding on a nice and very original numbers matching 1978 BMW R 80/7 motorcycle  This motorcycle was pickled (all fluids drained) and stored in a garage in North Florida for over 12 years.  Originally purchased in Germany by owner who was in the military so it has the kilometer speedometer instead of reading miles.  Shows only 16,400 kilometers or 10,160 miles, and the condition and how it runs tells the story.  It is all original except for the battery, tires and front brake hose which I replaced.  It was missing and I added one of the side gas tank BMW emblems which does not have the clear factory coating.  It is very nice with a few scratches and a small crack in the plastic fairing as has been pictured. The inside of the gas tank is in like new condition with its original red coating.  Everything works as it should, the tires are over 10 years old and believed to date back to 2005 but have very little wear.  It could use new mufflers and front shocks are a little stiff.  Needs a good cleaning and detailing.  The bike was first titled in the USA in April 2013 under my name and I am the second owner.  I have owned it for about 3 years and only rode it about 230 kilometers since August 2013.  Very original and nice motorcycle for the serious collector looking for originality and low miles.  Original factory paint and pinstriping.  Missing the tool box and tool kit.  It comes with its original German issue owners manual which is somewhat weathered from humidity but pages are readable.  Any questions please contact George at (305) 562-0526.  Please ask questions prior to bidding or if you want to schedule to look at it.  May consider a buy it now if prior to reaching the reserve price.
