Crashed! On my inherited 85 R80RT :-(
I'm so bummed! I crashed on my 85 BMW R80RT, inherited from my father (monort on this forum). It was just about to hit 272k miles! On Tuesday I was riding home from work when things felt all...wobbly. I was in the carpool lane on the 91 so once I realized something was definitely not right, I... -

New member in west Texas
Hello all, Excited as hell to learn and get riding the 1984 R80RT I recently purchased. Lots of great roads and open space out here in west TX for the bike tourists amongst the MOA. As a National Park employee I recommend Big Bend and Fort Davis areas, White Sands in NM, Guadalupe NP, and...- YOFLACO

Snowflake wheels: design fail?
I just had my first run-in with the rear wheel on my '84 R80RT. I can't believe how close the valve stem hole is placed to one of the wheel struts and how little clearance there is for an air pump head. I'm used to using a good quality stand-up bicycle pump, but the head on that won't approach... -

R80RT - general running ?'s
I just traded my '74 R90/6 for a '84 R80RT (plus some cash) with only 18.5k miles on it. I had basic service from a very experienced BMW mechanic/rider (new fluids, tires, battery, splines lubed, etc). Three questions have developed that I'd like to here. Overall, the bike runs great and is a...
