Hello! I'm new here, I just picked up a 1987 BMW R80. I look forward to getting all your advice and make great conversation here!
I hope to get the bike running soon, then make her my own. You can follow along on YouTube and Instagram!
Thanks!

Of all the Airheads I've ridden, my brother's R80 was by far the smoothest one of them all. Seems to be the perfect Boxer displacement.
Good luck getting her going.

I hear that also, that the 750s and 800s are the best of the bunch. Very happy with my R75/6.
I do expect to have an R100/7 running soon so I'll find out for myself.

Hi adequate airhead, Jim....
Thanks for the video.
Nice bike......Especially the dual front disc brake set up.
You have a later model airhead......ie: single shock model.....These are said to handle VERY WELL!
Tons and tons of information here and elswhere.
Anyway, just in for a quick visit after many months......
Good luck with your new machine. You should be in great shape.....The bike looks extremely complete and unmolested!
