1980 BMW R80/7 – 10 Years' Ownership – History File – Tax & MOT Exempt
1980 BMW R80/7 – 10 Years' Ownership – History File – Tax & MOT Exempt
After ten years together, it's time for my R80/7 to find a new home. This bike has been genuinely cherished – ridden, maintained and never neglected. When I bought it, I had the frame stripped and powder coated and the front forks rebuilt by a BMW specialist at the same time. Since then, every major job an airhead needs has been done, all carried out by specialists. It's ready to ride and enjoy, not a project.
The original BMW paint has aged into a beautiful patina. There are some chips and marks, all shown honestly in the photos, but in person it has real presence – a classic that's been used and loved rather than over-restored.
