Enquire NowOn offer is this 1978 BMW R80/7 ex police motorbike
We are selling this motorcycle as part of a deceased estate clearance and can provide the following information:
Bike was purchased by the last owner in 1985, we believe on a whim as he lived in the old police station at a nearby village.
We believe that since purchase the bike hasn't been used and has benefited/suffered from being in storage ever since.
In fact, the last MOT and tax was showing on paperwork in 1985. So, after having been stood for over 40 years the bike will obviously require a major re-commission or rebuild. We have made no effort to try and start the bike as the keys are missing but can confirm that the engine turns over freely with compression and gears are selecting.
The bike is showing mileage of 2894 and last MOT in Feb 85 it was 1870 miles so a total of 1000 miles from Feb 1985 onwards...
We can only assume that being an ex police bike it must have had a new speedo at some stage?
Please study the pictures carefully as they form the major part of the description and a true form of what you see is what you get etc.
Upon inspection the bike looks very original, unmolested condition so would be a great starting point for any restoration project.
We are in possession of the latest V5C and MOT/tax disc and a purchase receipt from 1985.
