Beeeeautiful. Good to see how someone who sounds as young as you can appreciate such a glorious bike. PS: I'm getting the same bike like you as my first real bike :)
Lovely bike mate I've got a 79 r80 7 ex British police it's in similar condition to yours these bikes are brilliant to ride they handle great too nice one 👍
Beautiful bike, although I would have gone with shiny black and pinstripe for the rear fender too, personally. Other than that, I have no complaints :D
I had one of them in silver (polaris metallic ?) back in London UK in 1991.. mine was from 1988 though and the tail light was different ! Awesome video !!
Damn, the led headlight i buy for my r 1200 r have two stage light. one dedicated for braking. I thought it was rare but it's just a tribute an already 30 year old design
Nice bike! Last time I bought the same R80. I know it's sound stupid but during ride I have to use the clutch when I want to change gears? Thanks in advance for help.
Hey, you didn't choke it? This a cold start? ... To avoid (embarrassingly) running out of fuel, you might want to only turn on ONE fuel valve at a time - it does have the cross-feed, right?
Darthpotato94 thanks mate. Beauty is somewhat in the eye of the beholder at this point. For a good runner, you’ll be at around 5-7k AUD.. frame off resto like this will be closer to 10k AUD.
All good points. Very disappointing. I also noticed that the tyres weren’t original so I’ve actually set that bike on fire and put it out of its misery.
Ur rocker arms need adjusting, and since its restored it's probably not the valve guides unless whoever restored it didn't rebuild the engine. But definitely sounds like something in the valvetrain, I think I've heard diesel engines that wasn't that bad lol. I could be wrong I'm not very familiar with airhead boxers.
@@classicbikeenthusiast3595 gotcha, that's pretty wild but thinking about it I guess it does make sense because some older two-strokes sound like the have constant pinging or piston slap.
