Paris Dakar – 1981 BMW R80GS

In Dual-Sport, Germany by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Sale Update: After 20 bids on eBay, this R80GS sold for $10,000.

Here’s a solid example of the motorcycle that started the concept of big adventure dual-sports. It’s being offered by the third owner (who’s had it for the last 14 years) and has 53,267 miles. This bike (VIN: WBM034803B6362181) stands out for a couple of reasons: first, it’s got the Paris-Dakar tank. Second, it was (sort-of) the subject of a Peter Egan column! I don’t get to say that every day:

The bike has been a rider so it’s not mint, but that just means you don’t have to be scared about getting it dirty! Find this R80GS for sale in Ligonier, Pennsylvania with bidding up to $6,000 and the reserve not yet met
