Comments from the seller

Selling my BMW R80/7 bobber. I bought this bike in 2014 in Germany and brought it to Australia. Since then it is registrated, but I haven't really used it besides my 2 other beamers. This BMW Bobber is pretty unique. Definitely an eyecatcher on every occation. - Honda CL fuel tank (unfortunately with a little dent - see photos. If I'm getting bored in winter, I'll will fix it and give it a new paint job) - Hand made leather (single) seat with suspension - super solid custom rear with YSS shocks and custom mudgard - all custom parts powder coated - leather sattle bag (swiss army) - front fork is lowerd / custom mudgard - LSL handlebar with "Ox-eye"-indicators from Germany - unique custom bobber wheels with Avon MKII 5.00 tyres (front and back) - Engine / starter motor cover The bike starts and runs very good. It's not registered at the moment. But it comes with a battery, blue slip and rego. I didn't needed a road worthy certificate to get a blue/pink slip. Never had a problem with the police. If someone is interested, I can add a road worthy certificate for an additional $800. But be aware, this is a bike from 1978! It's not a new motorcycle with all the convinience and comfort. It needs here and there a bit of love and attention and has to be serviced according to the BMW plan. That means checking the Oil/Break fluid, adjusting the valves and the ignition pointer. If you love to do it, it will be a relaiable bike for another 50 years.
