This 1981 R80 G/S Paris Dakar was owned by a longtime local collector who serviced his motorcycles with us often. It was part of a group of bikes purchased by us this previous year. 

This bike is in excellent running condition and properly upgraded. The bodywork is original and while shows signs of use and patina, it presents well and really stands out in our showroom. 

We stripped this bike down to the bare frame and power coated the main frame, subframe, luggage grid, and so on. We did not do any paintwork to this bike, even left some of the stickers on the tank collected over the years!
