'BMW have built their reputation almost solely on the touring virtues of their flat twins, so it was a pleasant reminder when I rode the R80 that a balance of performance and ride properties can produce a versatility based on excellent rather than average capability in every department.' - Bike magazine, July 1980. BMW's first 'R80' (nominally 800cc) model was the R80/7 introduced in 1977 as replacement for the 750cc R75/7. Like its predecessor, the R80/7 was powered by BMW's traditional air-cooled flat-twin engine coupled to low-maintenance shaft final drive transmission. Engineered to BMW's customarily high standards, the R80/7 was far from cheap and in 1978 cost around 40% more than Yamaha's similarly shaft-driven XS750 tourer. This R80/7 displays a total of 81,365 kilometres on the odometer and is offered with Netherlands registration papers (1978). Die zur Versteigerung offerierte 1977er R80/7 zeigt einen Tachostand von 81,365 km. Die Maschine wird mit niederländischen Zulassungspapieren von 1978 versteigert.
