For 1983, BMW added a more street-oriented sibling based on the R80 GIS, but replaced the 21-inch front wheel with a more streetable 19-incher. The new R80ST retained the G/S’s Monolever rear, though again with reduced travel, but the G/S’s kickstart lever was deleted. It also got a dual seat and shorter forks and handlebars from the R65.
The result was a light, sweet-running, reasonably quick and sharp-steering bike
This silver R80ST is a full restoration completed over 4 years ago. It is a stunning bike and rides superbly Tax & mot exempt
