BMW R 80 GS Basic

Already adopted with Last Edition models, the two-valve boxer is still around. Lucky for everyone who has a weakness for the old engine.

BMW has provided the definitive proof: there is life after death. The proof of this phenomenon stands on two cross-spoked wheels, is painted in the traditional colors of white and blue and is powered by an old guard boxer. What used to be called R 80 G / S or R 80 GS is now called R 80 GS Basic after reincarnation and is in the best of health.

Conclusion (archive version)

One can be amazed at the high price, rant about the lousy brakes, annoy at the laborious jacking up. But as far as the driving pleasure is concerned, there is nothing to complain about. Handy, agile and comfortable, the old 55 hp rubber cow is still able to annoy the new generation of boxers on narrow country roads. Gerhard Lindner
