BMW R-Series description

Here is the 1981 R80 G/S - the original GS dual purpose model - Paris/Dakar big tank model with solo seat and attached rack.  Engine #: 6207526.  Fitted with stainless spokes and Staintune stainless exhaust system, BMW bags and has the sump guard.  


Good condition throughout: tank has No dents and frame has been powder-coated.  All functional and relatively low mileage from new and could do with new battery.  Starts right up and mechanically quiet.   The machine had a screen although now lost (screen fixtures are fitted).  Rims are good and do have some alloy corrosion which will need to be polished out.  Note that the original I.D. tag had been removed when the frame was powder-coated, however the last 6 or so digits of Vin number are stamped on the frame.
 
Please contact me with any questions and I will get back to you promptly; 818 347 1460.  I will assist with shipping as much as possible and by delivering to a depot within 40 miles if needed.  An ebay deposit will be required within 48 hours from auction end and balance within seven days.  Appreciate your interest.

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.

Man Sues BMW for Causing Persistent Erection

Fri, 27 Apr 2012

A man is suing BMW and seat-manufacturer Corbin-Pacific because a four-hour motorcycle ride gave him an erection that would not go away. The civil suit, filed in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco, alleges the plaintiff, Henry Wolf, developed a severe case of priapism after a long ride on a 1993 BMW motorcycle. Priapism is a medical condition where a penis becomes erect and does not return to a flaccid state.
