1983 BMW R 80

Summary:

A pleasant bike to ride

Faults:

One mayor breakdown: crown gear (cardan connection in rear wheel).

Further rather nothing, only maintenance issues: a new dynamo, tires, carburator seals, brakes.

General Comments:

A pleasant bike to ride; a fine one to work on; a beautiful machine to look at, a brilliant one to listen to.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
