Reader Ride. Clean R80

I’d love to find a rider in this condition.  Some folks are a LOT better at general maintenance and cleanup than I’ll ever be.  Sweet Ride.

Hi Steve,

Thought I’d fire you some pics of my daily ride, which is an almost stock 1989 BMW R80.

I had been looking for an old R80 that I could pull apart, and do a Ritmo Sereno style custom job on. While looking, I came across this 20 year old (at the time) machine that was in pristine condition and had only 15,000km (9,320 miles) on the clock. The bike had a full service record, original books and all receipts. Although I was looking for something to customise, I took her for a spin and fell in love.


I guess the special thing about this bike is the fact that it in such original condition, the only mods are Staintune pipes and the BMW clock and voltmeter.

I still want to get my hands on a base bike to build a cafe racer from but at this stage I think it would be sacrilege make any changes to this one.

I’ve had a bunch of other bikes in the past but this one is by far the best city bike I’ve owned. After about a year, I’m still in love.


Hopefully it’s not too plain and standard for MBPOTD.

Hell No!  Thanks for the Pics!

Modern Love…. BMW HP3 Lust.

Man… some folks have great taste in bikes….

Nice Stable Mate…

This is one of Ron Woods’ projects. Matt Weidman tried to make the mile at Arizona back on 5/1 with this but missed the field. He’s supposed to run it again on Saturday 10/9 and try to get it in the National again after Ron got the bugs worked out of it.
Very sweet looking machine! With the rules being ‘opened up’ in AMA Flat Track this year it has made for some very interesting combinations, as 12 different manufacturers and their respective models are available to race in the Grand National Expert Twins Class. Earlier this year not only did a Ducati 1098 win–at Arizona with Joe Kopp–but Bill Werner, Jay Springsteen and Bryan Smith took a Kawasaki 650 Ninja-based parallel twin to the win here at Indy and at Springfield. Jeremy Higgins put a KTM in the main at Minnesota a couple of weeks ago, and Triumph put together a nice package based on the 865 Bonneville and has made four mains this year.
Very cool stuff, and as always Steve, you have kept things on the cutting edge here man! Keep up the great work!

Awesome!  Thanks for that!

I think I posted something on this bike a long while back but I’m not positive. Really excellent build. Your eyes are not playing tricks. The front shock mount is in fact on the rear of the cylinder. Bold stuff.

Nice BMW R100 I Saw At The Mall Yesterday…

Grabbed a quick cell phone shot of this nice rider. I didn’t get to meet the owner.

Damm… Onboard porn..

Would have been so much better WITHOUT the music but still WAY cool. BMW SS1000 I think…
