BMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines and produced their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. By the 1970s they had become the most popular bike for long distance touring due to the torquey engine and shaft drive transmission.
This standard R80/7 has only had 2 owners from new and is fitted with a set of genuine BMW quick release panniers. Bought by the vendor from a friend who was the first owner 17 years ago, it was used by him on a trip to Italy a few years ago. Garaged since, the fuel tank was resprayed about 4 years ago and the bike was given a full overhaul last year, including a new pair of tyres, at a cost of £1400. The R80/7 has become a popular bike with specials builders so it's rare to find one in standard original trim. Supplied with various receipts, old MOTs and a current V5C.
