BMW R-Series description

I am selling my 1978 BMW R80/7 motorcycle because I don't have time to ride as much as I want to

I bought this bike approximately two and a half years ago from its original owner and brought it back to life. There were never any major issues with it, he had just run out of time to use it.

Since purchasing it I have cleaned it up quite well and it starts right up and runs great.  Could use some fine tuning but it started right up after being stored in my garage all winter.

-Fresh oil & plugs
-new petcocks
-new battery
-Tank and fenders have been cleaned of all debris and repainted

29,900 miles

Overall it's in great shape considering its a 38 year old bike.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or additional pictures but I would love to pass this on to another enthusiast.

Clean title in hand!

For example, it has a stretched wheelbase and reverse gear.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced the recall for the 2012 BMW S1000RR, providing more information about the problem. According to documents released by NHTSA, the bolts on the connecting rods in the BMW S1000RR may come loose because of an anti-corrosive agent applied to the bolts. The anti-corrosive agent may effect the bolt torque, potentially leading them to come loose, particularly at high temperatures or rpms.
