Hi Steve,
Thought I'd fire you some pics of my daily ride, which is an almost stock 1989 BMW R80.
I had been looking for an old R80 that I could pull apart, and do a Ritmo Sereno style custom job on. While looking, I came across this 20 year old (at the time) machine that was in pristine condition and had only 15,000km (9,320 miles) on the clock. The bike had a full service record, original books and all receipts. Although I was looking for something to customise, I took her for a spin and fell in love.
I guess the special thing about this bike is the fact that it in such original condition, the only mods are Staintune pipes and the BMW clock and voltmeter.
I still want to get my hands on a base bike to build a cafe racer from but at this stage I think it would be sacrilege make any changes to this one.
I've had a bunch of other bikes in the past but this one is by far the best city bike I've owned. After about a year, I'm still in love.
Hopefully it's not too plain and standard for MBPOTD.
Hell No! Thanks for the Pics!
