<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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…</p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
