BMW's first 'R80' (nominally 800cc) model was the R80/7 introduced in 1977 as replacement for the 750cc R75/7. Like its predecessor, the R80/7 was powered by BMW's traditional air-cooled flat-twin engine coupled to low-maintenance shaft final drive transmission. Following the introduction of the R80G/S enduro bike in 1980, the R80 family was extended further by the R80ST and R80RT, the latter being a long-distance tourer equipped with the capacious fairing first seen on the R100RT. Introduced in 1991 and built until 1994, the R80R (R=Roadster) was a 'sporty naked' based on the R100R and aimed at various export markets in Europe such as Switzerland. A bestseller, it came in two versions: 50bhp and 27bhp, the latter intended for novice riders. The 'full power' model had a top speed of 104mph.

Currently displaying a total of 15,423 kilometres on the odometer, this R80R comes with its original instruction manual and service booklet; German registration papers; and various other documents. The engine turns over.
