R80 basic price

[peepingtom]

Thinking of getting one I know they're rare that's partly why I want one. Any ideas of prices ? just need a ball park figure as not seen any on here or elsewhere. Would £5000 get one ?

I think you are starting at about £7,000...get a standard one without any mods if you want to hold the price.

That's not a genuine R80GS basic. It's a (bad) replica.

It's more than that it's fcuking tragic but if someone is mug enough to swallow and buy it good luck to them. Fool and his money and all that.

It's not being sold as a Basic. It just has a blue frame.

it's actually being sold as a "BMW R80GS PARIS DAKAR", which it certainly isn't either

 

[Paradiso]

Why such a premium on the Basic? It's a normal paralever, albeit one of the last ones. I thought it was an exercise in 'using up' the old bits at the time when they came out. Is there much different beyond the subframe?

also has a white power shock and old style g/s tank. yes in some resects its not much differant to a standard 88 bike but i see it as the best looking gs and a nice way to have my money stored

lots of R80 s in Germany this looks like a real Basic

however current prices for R80gs they run from this

Actually the tank on the Basic came from the old ST rather than the g/s, they went with this option as it carried less fuel than the g/s tank and was therefore saving on weight.

It's already been mentioned but original unmodified Basics make premium money, hard to find in the UK although they do appear now and then.

Good guide when looking is that they were not released until June 1996 so anything earlier than they won't be a Basic, the frame and engine numbers can be checked to confirm if a bikes genuine or not.

I'd agree they are in my opinion they are a beautiful bike, also a fantastic thing to ride, smooth and silky even with all the gubbins that had to be added for emissions control.

Incorrect it holds about the same amount of fuel the reason the used it was the fuel filler cap on the old tank was not suitable for 90's regs

They are a great bike..You will pay good money for one but you wan't loose any either
I still use mine a lot ...Last year in Spain

Hi Peepingtom,

In repsonse to you original question.
you may be very lucky and get one around that price.

but you did say you were thinking partly because they are "rare" so theres the rub.
you have to pay the rarity premium.


But you will need to start more like 7-9 to get one.And depends if you are after small or big tank.

you could get one of Gary bamw's subframes and adapt a cheaper r80/100
but of course that will only be alookalike.
the one newboy posted on ebay seemed to go for a fairprice so that would be a good base for someone to do a looaklike.

I think some people see the rebuilt/restored ones Gary at bamw sell and price their own "original untouched ones accordingly" over 10-12k.

Yeeeees, i know.

But it was being linked to in a thread about information on buying a basic. So just thought i'd be polite and point it out in very simple terms before confusion galloped in and took over ..

 

[Rob Farmer]

Knowing how pedantic everybody on this site seems to have become I thought I'd better point it out before the guy selling it gets death threats and flamed .

thats the route I took. I liked the look of the basic but didn't want the 800 engine. Fortunately I managed to buy what's appears to have been the last basic subframe from bmw.

if you're looking for an investment then this isn't the way to go.
