Description
1984 registered ( I have just applied for “historic” status)
I know it’s listed under R80G/ S, but they didn’t have a drop down option for R80st.
BMW R80ST . Original matching frame and engine numbers ( BMW stopped doing this from 1985 I believe)
Special…see below why I call it special.
R100GS paralever front forks ( better quality than the earlier g/ s forks, )
R100GS paralever top and bottom yokes ( again better than the earlier bikes)
R100GS front wheel ( to fit with the forks etc)
R1150GS four piston front brake, with braided stainless steel brake line. ( it actually stops well!)
R80g/ s headlight nacelle fitted with Acewell CA85 electronic speedometer ( multi function, and a good British company)
Warning lights are Katdash LED , so won’t need to change bulbs.
Petrol tank is R100R, 24 litres, so more range.
R80g/ s single seat and rack, or dual seat with rear rack that can be fitted.
Siebenrock SG2 stainless steel full exhaust system.
Migsel stainless sidestand.
Q-tech lowered riders footpegs, and wonderlich gear lever.
Clutch replaced last year, new timing chain fitted.
Spotlights, and LED running light through a Healtech thunderbox electric controller, switched live, so they cannot be left on.
Oxford heated grips ( also through switched live).
Stainless steel siebenrock engine bars.
Seperate choke levers on carbs.
Shock factory m-shock rear shock absorber
Front forks have hyperpro progressive springs fitted.
New wiring loom, as original 40 year old loom was starting to break down.
Thunderchild diode board.
Wedgetail electronic ignition.
Barkbusters handguards
I have owned this bike for ten years, and done the upgrades over time. Bike runs beautifully, and is a one-off.
ST as a base for what a r80g/ s could be modified to be , but then it’d ruin the value of a standard g/ s.
Bike will not come with leather bag on rear offside, or the sat nav mount. Reliable classic bike, with easy electric start to save old knees!
Various upgrades over the years to make it more reliable, and a better ride. Some upgrades cosmetic which I know are personal taste, and won’t suit all.
Not a standard bike, but great to ride, and does get favourable comments whilst out and about.
Genuine reason for sale after 10 years of ownership.
