About this bike

Description

R150,000 Sedgefield

1985 BMW R80GS

Fresh paint and new seat cover.

Pioneer:

Launched in 1980 and produced through 1985 (with sales into 1986), it combined long-distance touring comfort with dirt-road capability.

Motorsport Success:

Gaston Rahier won the Paris-Dakar Rally in 1985 on a modified, larger-displacement version of the BMW R80G/S.

Legacy:

Most users agree that its low weight, mechanical simplicity, and nimble handling make it one of the best and most influential machines BMW ever built.
