Description

The 1981 BMW R80 G/S Paris Dakar is a rewarding, characterful adventure motorcycle that brings classic rally spirit to everyday rides. Its torquey 797cc air-cooled boxer engine and shaft drive deliver smooth, confidence-inspiring power while the long-travel Monolever rear end soaks up rough roads. The large Paris Dakar tank gives exceptional range and presence.

Rideability is immediate thanks to electric start and a well-maintained mechanical setup, making this early GS both usable and striking. The single-seat, period styling and strong service history make it as appealing at a rally or café as it is on long country runs — a genuine classic that still rides very well.
