Even with the low mileage, that seems like a lot of money for a 20 year old bike!!!

Are you kidding me? That was a steal! If it was an R80G/S with the same mileage and condition, you could have added at least $2500.00 onto that price.

I stand corrected! I know nothing about the value of an older GS, could only imagine the costs associated with shipping (if not in NC) and know that an 1150
GS in good shape with low miles can be purchased for not much more (I know because I have purchased one in the last year).

That is a great price if it is in good condition without modifications.... these are really turning into cult bikes... with 80s bringing even more... That model is the first BMW I ever threw my leg over....my buddy had the same year, same color scheme...whole deal... Loved the torque then.... love the torque now.... Had to get one of my own.....

I must say. Mr Snay, you are my hero. Sweet bike. Here is a question. Regardless of cult bike stuff. Which is better, the R80 or R100?

Come on Aaron, spike the tires and take her out, I thought you were a tough New Hamshireite.
And fix the footpeg rubber for criss-sakes

100 will probably have more parts available... the 80 is the original stripped down desert racer for BMW and the 100 was the first global GS tourer.... PDs
seem to have a higher cult status than the regular models.... you could go on endlessly like that...

my 83 R80 ST has the 1000 cc pistons and jugs. bike handles super but suffers from a somewhat shorter stoping distance than more modern bikes in the garage.
Air heads are going up in value rapidly if ewe want one at a reasonable price act soon while you can still find the good ones. SS
