Hello
I had a new R80ST back in the 80s and would like to know what they are worth now. I want a standard bike.
I have seen a couple with dealers for about £3K and would like to know if that is a reasonable price to pay.
Firstly, Welcome Boxer Boy. I'm just 1/2 hour up the A10 from you.
Like you, I also had an ST new back in 1985, bought from Browns in Ashford, Kent.
Alway regretted selling, so in 2011 I found one, an abandoned project, but all complete, powder coated frame, new tyres, etc.
I paid less than £2k for it and spent some more on it, but more time than money making stainless parts, respraying, new badging, graphics etc.
I would think that for £2.5 to £3k you ought to find a reasonable one, but depending on your objectives be prepared to spend money to get it in the condition that you might want.
Don't forget its a 28 year old motorcycle!
There was one in the Old Bike Mart recently, don't know if the chap (private seller) still has it. Probably worth a phone call - 01302 780601. 35,000 miles, heated grips, flyscreen, tax, MOT. Looks ok in the picture. £2300
Have a look in the ST thread sticky. My ST is last picture.
You can always give me a shout for help, advice etc as your location is close to mine.
