Showroom condition GS up for a touch under £9,000
A GS as an investment? This 1983 R80G/S is a good candidate. One owner for 20 years, it was then snapped up by a classic BMW restorer who's rebuilt the engine and fitted a few modern Siebnerock parts including new barrels and pistons.Did you know

Whither now, Husqvarna?
By Visordown on 07/02/2013 17:20:00
No more BMW engines, no more Nuda, Terra or Strada... More questions than answers.
.It’s been indicated that once the sale is complete BMW will stop supplying components to Husqvarna. If that’s true, it means no more Nuda (currently powered by a modified, 900cc version of the F800 parallel twin, mounted in an F800GS frame), no more Strada

By Ben Cope on 04/01/2013 10:07:03
Another memorable motorcycle from the Italian masters of cool
