1983 BMW R80ST
—
This is my personal BMW that I have owned for almost 9 years. Although Moto Borgotaro leans towards the Italian beauties, we also love BMW, in fact we are mildly obsessed with them. The R80ST is perhaps the best handling street motorcycle BMW ever produced, overshadowed by the R80G/S, the ST gives you a lightweight touring machine that can destroy most bikes on the tight twists and turns in the Alps, or canyons of highway 1.
Now resting in Italy for future visits down and around the Amalfi Coast, this will be a hard one for me to sell, it has the special sauce inside her, she is capable of 110mph+ all day long with luggage and passenger… mild upgrades listed below.

DISCLAIMER
Every single bike I buy and sell, I personally go through—not someone else. I am the owner operator of my small business, and I take what I do very seriously. I work on the bikes, I ride the bikes.
If you are serious about buying a true collector piece from someone who not only has a passion for these bikes, but works on them, rides them, and collects them then call me. Jokingly people say to me, “these bikes don’t seem so rare as there are so many in your shop” well... I consider myself a custodian for these machines, they should go to people who will love, and appreciate them.
