Description
BMW R 80 G/S PARIS-DAKAR – 1985 Approximately 25,000 km on the odometer First registered: 1 August 1985 Engine capacity: 797 cm³ Taxable power: 8 CV Chassis number: 6284595 French vehicle registration document Paris-Dakar version, confirmed by a BMW Classic certificate Certificate of authenticity from the BMW Group Archives issued in 2017 Extensive restoration and maintenance work, fully documented Numerous invoices for parts and specialist work Presented in the iconic white, blue and red livery A true icon in the history of motorcycling, the BMW R 80 G/S marked, from its launch in 1980, the advent of large off-road touring motorbikes. Building on its successes in the Paris-Dakar Rally, BMW developed a special version, which has since become particularly sought-after by collectors. The example on offer, first registered on 1 August 1985, boasts a particularly interesting feature: an official BMW Classic certificate no. 6346, issued on 2 February 2017 by the manufacturer’s archives, confirming its original designation as the BMW R 80 G/S Paris-Dakar. This document states that the motorcycle was manufactured on 2 May 1985, before being delivered on 1 August of the same year to BMW (G.B.) Ltd. in Bracknell, United Kingdom. Presented in its distinctive white, blue and red livery, with its large-capacity fuel tank, red seat, engine guards, windscreen and side panniers, this BMW retains the iconic look of the adventure bikes of the 1980s. It comes with a comprehensive file of invoices detailing numerous restoration and maintenance works. In 2016, significant work was carried out at L’Atelier du Roule-Toujours, a specialist in classic BMWs, at a cost of €4,591.42 including VAT, as per the quotation. The detailed work carried out included, in particular, work on the chassis, the swingarm, the bearings, bodywork components and their paintwork, as well as the replacement of numerous parts and accessories. Several invoices from the BMW network also confirm the purchase of mechanical parts and equipment. A service carried out in March 2016 mentions bringing the motorcycle into compliance with French standards, particularly regarding its lighting and odometer. In 2020, new orders for parts from Siebenrock, a recognised specialist in classic BMWs, indicate that mechanical work continued, notably involving timing, braking and engine components. More recently, invoices dated 2026 confirm further work carried out, including an engine oil change, the replacement of filters, the battery and spark plugs, as well as work on the electrical system, the gearbox, the rear axle and the driveshaft. The file also includes an invoice for the replacement of a front tyre. The most recent roadworthiness test report, carried out on 17 February 2026, shows a pass, with 23,806 km recorded on the odometer. A service invoice dated 21 April 2026 states 24,994 km. This BMW R 80 G/S Paris-Dakar presents an interesting opportunity to acquire a motorcycle that is emblematic of the Bavarian manufacturer’s history; its original specification is confirmed by the BMW archives and it comes with a particularly comprehensive set of documentation. Sold with its French registration document, its BMW Classic certificate and a collection of invoices for servicing, restoration and spare parts.
