I have an unrestored 'barn find' R80gs for sale.
Its complete with only the headlight /housing missing.
I have had it stored for a few years.
I bought it with the spark plugs out, as a result the motor does not turn over, I have not tried to 'force it'!
As the bike needed a complete restore I was going to be doing the motor as well.
It has matching serial numbers. Frame & engine.
It is not registered and I dont have papers.
It is not registered on the NATIS system. I have checked in 3 different NATIS/licencing centres in the country.
I have started the registration process, done it before with another BMW R50. Its a bit of a pain but certainly can be done. Of course, if you prepared to pay, you can get somebody to do it for you. As I said, I've done it before.
Process to date:
I have written to BMW Archives in Genrmany and have an email response detailing number & manufacture and specifications confirmation.

Registration required (leg work required). (as is)
Price : R35K
