BMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines and produced their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. Whilst the basic engine layout is nearly 100 years old, constant improvements have kept it at the forefront of motorcycle design and together with some avant garde suspension concepts BMW Boxers are still amongst the most desirable and best selling bikes in the world today.
On offer is a BMW R80, purchased by the late vendor in 1991, his plan was to use the BMW as much as possible and travel Europe as it was intended for. During his ownership, he kept it maintained to the best of his abilities and ready for its next adventure. The BMW has not been used for some time and will now require recommissioning or light restoration. The engine turns over and it rolls very freely. It comes complete with a host of old MOT certificates, old logbooks back to the first V5, two small books of logged maintenance and mileage and a set of keys. To be sold at 'no reserve'.
