So how come whenever I took it out on the highway I'd find my speed kept creeping up to 90?

For anyone that hasn’t ridden an R80, I highly recommend them. I’ve been riding my R80/7 for ten years and it really is the smoothest engine BMW made. I personally do not like riding behind a fairing and the R80 is a little underpowered to push that large fairing at highway speeds. Easy enough to pull off and make a nice naked R80 that is well suited for one up touring and even two up with a bit more shifting. The 37/11 low gearing rear drive makes the bike quick in the mountains and it will sit at +/- 5200 rpms all day pulling 80 on the interstate if you are into that sort of thing… Best, Will Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Craig Barnhart

Also I have heard from one MD Airhead that The best vintage and classic cars for sale online | Bring a Trailer worked well for him.

All, I have been trying to sell my 1984 R80RT for maybe a year now. I've gotten a number of emails asking for photos and descriptions and two visits by potential buyers. Not much in the way of results. This despite the fact that -- at least in the opinion of Tom Cutter of the Rubber Chicken Garage -- I am offering it at an attractive price. I am getting to the point where I just want to get this done. I do know that bikes get auctioned off on eBay. I wonder if anybody here knows how well that works. I'm not looking to make a killing. I'd just be happy to get the bike sold for a fair price. Informed opinion would be welcome. I've attached a written description -- in Word format -- and a bunch of photos in case anybody here has an interest. Best, Ed Bianchi 717-649-5251
