The BMW R80/7, a mid-range marvel that evolved from the R75, boasts a robust engine character, evident in its 9:1 compression ratio and S model specification. With a duplex endless timing chain and contact breakers, this bike exudes a sense of reliability and durability.
On the road, the R80/7’s engine purrs smoothly, its torquey nature making it a joy to ride in a variety of conditions. The addition of a second front disc brake in response to British police feedback has significantly enhanced its braking capabilities.
The bike’s low-tech and low-stressed design has proven to be a hallmark of BMW’s engineering philosophy, resulting in remarkably long engine life.
