Post Listing Update: AFter being relisted a couple of times, this GS did not meet reserve despite 20 bids up to $9,000.
This first generation GS has just 5,616 miles because the seller had two R80GS’ and he barely rode this one! As a bonus, it also features a HPN exhaust.
21,864 examples of the R80GS were sold before BMW upped displacement to one liter and created the R100. The airhead 797.5cc engine produced 50 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque, good for a top speed of 104 miles per hour. Gaston Rahier won the Paris-Dakar rally a few times with a (heavily modified, obviously) R80GS and adventure riders around the world noticed. BMW responded by offering optional extras like a 8.5 gallon fuel tank, bigger battery, and solo seat/rear rack to help with long distance traveling.

Despite the low mileage, this example (VIN: 6362969) has had the fluids changed yearly. The sellers say it’s in excellent original condition, so find this BMW for sale in Troy, New York with bidding up to $6,882 and the reserve not yet met
