The BMW R 80 G/S is one of the most iconic adventure bikes of its era. With its air-cooled 800cc horizontally opposed twin, upright riding position and reputedly tough mechanicals, it became a versatile machine, equally at home on long-distance rides as on less conventional routes. Its concept did much to pave the way for big-capacity trail bikes, a category that remains hugely popular today.
 
This green 1983 example has been in the hands of its current owner since 2014. Before him, the bike is said to have had only two registered owners. Presented in a condition very close to original, it retains a light patina that reflects its age without, according to the seller, detracting from its overall appearance.
 
Regularly maintained, it comes with three recent invoices. The bodywork is described as sound and in very good condition, while the seat and mechanicals also appear well kept. A bike with character for fans of classic BMWs and historic trail bikes.
 

 

BEFORE YOU BUY 

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights under European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you remain covered by the Car & Classic terms and conditions. 

✓ We require that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the successful bidder or your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for the specific fees. 

✓ This vehicle is "sold as is, where is", on a "as is, where it stands" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is standard practice to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind. 

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing. 

✓ We want the transaction to go smoothly, just as you do, which is why cars and motorcycles registered in the United Kingdom and listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft and are not subject to any finance charge, so you can bid with confidence. 

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off following a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always worthwhile to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it. 

✓ Buyers are responsible for collecting or delivering the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can assist you. For more details and to speak with the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
