The BMW R 80 G/S is one of the most iconic adventure motorcycles of its era. With its air-cooled 800 cc horizontally opposed twin, upright riding position and renowned reputation for toughness, it established itself as a versatile mount, equally at home on long-distance trips as on less conventional routes. Its concept did much to shape the big-capacity trail segment, a category that remains very popular today.
 
This 1983 example in green has been in the hands of its current owner since 2014. Before him, the motorcycle is said to have had only two registered keepers. Presented in a very near-original condition, 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 mechanical components also appear well preserved. A motorcycle 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 accept the following: 

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

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

✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is advisable 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 stated in the listing. 

✓ We want the transaction to go smoothly for you, just as it does for us, 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 carry no insurance database markers for damage or theft and are not subject to a financial lien, 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, so it is always wise to carry out a full vehicle history check before placing a bid. 

✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of 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.
