This 1978 BMW R80/7 has been in storage in a private garage for a few years. The current owner is getting older and unable to ride. He was a truck driver and mechanic and this was his favorite cruiser when not on the road. He performed the majority of all services during his ownership utilizing his mechanic skills and tools.
This is an original paint motorcycle that cleans right up. It needs some TLC attention on the bright work. Working odometer shows only 45,906 miles. This is a real “ran great when parked” motorcycle that is in need of service and a new owner. Original tools and some riding materials will remain with the bike. Clear California Title and registration.
