Thoughts on the R80?
I recently was offered an R80 at a great price but I'm wondering how suitable they are for overlanding. All mentions on this site seem to refer to the GS and G/S variants. Why is that? According to this site http://verrill.com/moto/bmwchron/index.shtml, the R80 seems fairly similar and even superior in a few respects and yet its praises remain rather unsung on the HUBB and elsewhere on the net. Bearing in mind that I'd only be offroading in an emergency or to get around obstacles, would the plain old R80 be sufficient for an Aus-Euro trip?
