Here's mine. Something to fall back on when me 1200 breaks down. Another plus is being able to partake the superior wit and wisdom of the air head section

R80 GS 1997 Basic 26k miles

Every time I attended a GS off road event on my 1150GS ADV I was always surprised by the surefootedness and versatility of these bikes.
Doing my research, I kept reading that most previous owners regretted selling their R80’s and commenting that it was “the best bikes they had ever had”.
I now join the register with pride
1st registered owner before me in Gemany was one of the managers of the BMW factory. Bike came to UK 2 years ago, garaged with little use.
UK registered by me last week

Mine...

R80GS Basic Kalahari, Nov '96, imported from Germany 2001, owned by me for just over two years. Bar risers, Odyssey battery, expensive aluminium panniers, TKC80s. Did the Alps last year. Took longer than I thought. Had to stop so often for the 1150 Adventures to catch up.

Can't post photos. Dunno if this'll work, haven't tried it before.



No doubt there'll be several derisory comments if it doesn't.

Steve.

PS My girlfriend's 13 year old daughter has a much better source for these funny little animated icon things. Just let me know if any of you've outgrown these ones

Here's mine:



Pretty much original, apart from the Gletter exhaust, carbon fibre bash plate, bar risers, low footpegs and such

and here is mine!

I could not resist!
I got mine almost new 5 years ago, definitely a bike will always hang around in my garage!
Went to Tunisia last winter, and i wrote a story about bringing this "old lady" back to her roots!. It has been published on an italian magazine (you can download it here:
http://www.gianlucamarucci.com/gianl...m/credits.html - it is in italian!)
