Ì had an R80 GS for 20 years. In all that time all i did was to change the starter motor and a joint on the prop shaft. It was such a simple bike to work on and service, and parts were not do expensive. Now I'm 70, I have a Yamaha SR 400. Apart from fuel jnjection, it has the same simplicity as the R80. Bikes are too complicated these days.

Amazing bike! I need another r series in my life. They are bulletproof and an absolute joy to ride. I agree many new bikes now are more complex then they need to be. At the end of the day I just want something that allows me to adventure and not something I need special tools to fix😥

Recognize that sound at the end, after an oil change the engine clonks until it builds oil pressure. Didn't realize there was that much complexity "under the hood". Glad i never had to tear mine apart

Weird how time passes. I had a yellow '04 GS (originally owned by the owner of a BMW dealer, so, one of the first R1200GS available) which I bought used for $10K. I rode it for a summer and then up to Alaska, where I sold it for... $10K. The Nav unit on that thing cost a fortune and felt archaic within 5 years because of how fast cellphones were evolving.

Ran my old R1200GSA LC over 100.000km. That bike had no issues, only reason it went out was because I bought the 1250GSA. These things eat kms like nothing, she won't let you down. Go have fun!
