My Dad has had a few R80/7 and R100RS/RT and the big things are the electrics amd leaky carbs otherwise they're ace.
His current R100RT has 240k on the clock and is as sweet as a nut. |

My dad had (has) an R80/7 RT which is the only one hike I rember him having as a kid - he commuted 20+ years on it, and only stopped riding it when it got knocked over in a car park, and didn't have time to get it repaired.
One day I'll get the time and cash to get her rebuilt and back on the road.. |

I had an R100rs on a V plate 1980 clocked 1000's of miles on it in Europe etc only got rid because I didn't think the front single piston brakes was good enough when riding with mates, even thought about putting the later Brembo front end on it |

He has looked after it and yes he restored it around seven years ago but the motor just needed a bore hone and rings amd consumables like valve seals etc.
The crank and bores where perfect.
Totally amazing and I doubt my 1250GS will even be alive as a whole bike at that mileage. |
