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. Following the introduction of the R80G/S enduro bike in 1980, the R80 family was extended further by the R80ST and R80RT, the latter being a long-distance tourer equipped with the capacious fairing first seen on the R100RT. New for 1982, the R80RT was updated for 1984, gaining the wheels, forks and ‘Monolever’ single-sided swinging arm of the K-Series. Engineered to BMW’s customarily high standards, the revised R80RT was far from cheap and cost approximately 50% more than Kawasaki’s similarly shaft-driven Z750GT tourer. This example of BMW’s smooth, middleweight super-tourer was previously in service with the Royal Border Police in the Netherlands. The machine displays a total of 41,720 kilometres on the odometer and is in original condition, although some minor parts are missing. Dieses Exemplar einer R80RT befand sich früher im Dienst der Königlichen Grenzpolizei der Niederlande. Der angezeigte Kilometerstand beträgt 41,720 km. Die Maschine befindet sich im Originalzustand, es fehlen jedoch einige Kleinteile.
