Fantastic bike i owned an 86 maroon model in Brisbane Queensland Australia i road it around Australia from 87 until 2001it was 1 of the best bike's iv ever owned id buy another today if 1 became available im 65 in August and currently riding the FJR Yamaha 06 1300 with 164000 KMs without any issues only because of my legs and weight would i consider down sizing my R80RT 86 had done 89000km when i sold her without any problems the FJR is much smoother and faster and a much larger fuel capacity compared to the beemer 450kms a tank to 300kms a tank i don't ride as far these days compared to back in the 80s 90s look after the bike and it won't let you down 😊 ❤️
I agree Susan but every time I got on my K1100RS it hit home how old the Boxer was. That said we could blat about at good speed and never had a fearful moment on her. I was sorry to see it go but I can't keep two and now my K is for sale because it's too heavy for 70 year old with a crumbly knee so I'm going for a Honda Hornet 900 as my last ride. Boring. No character but a ride nonetheless. Everywhere I went on the old Boxer people looked and commented and she served me well two up from the UK to Italy, around Italy, Italy to the Cote d'Azur and back and forth and finally back to the UK where a really nice, taller, older man bought it and rode off. I hope he's enjoying it as much as I did. So easy to maintain and work on with parts readily available.

Nice video. The bike is perfect. I am curious, did you sell it ? If yes what is the price?
Yes, sold.
Sold and I believe a good deal for a low mileage airhead, which, if I had a place to keep it I would have kept.
いいねぇ～
