MOT: June 2024
The name Herbert Schek is inexorably linked with the development of the GS. In 1983, he built the factory bikes for the Paris Dakar including one for himself. Hubert Auriol took overall victory and in 1985 Rahier and Auriol took first and second, with Schek himself victorious in the amateur class. In 1985 a replica model was launched by BMW known officially as the 'R80 G/S Paris Dakar'. This interesting bike has been authenticated by the BMW Group Archive as a 'BMW R 80 G/S Paris Dakar manufactured on June 3rd 1985 and delivered on June 26th to the German BMW dealer Wursser in Germering'. The German Fahrzuegbrief shows it was modified by Herbert Schek in 1987 with the capacity increased to 1008cc and the brakes improved. This included shortening the stroke and increasing the bore to 95.5mm to create a far more powerful free revving motor and the front brake was uprated to twin disc. Imported in 2020 by renowned GS experts BAMW, it’s been part of an enthusiast’s collection since and used by him for runs around the Peak District. The bike sounds fantastic and revs freely more like a 250 two-stroke. This a rare opportunity to acquire a very well sorted G/S that comes supplied with copies of the dating certificate and its German logbook together with a V5C.
