Hi, I bought an R80GS last Autumn and I have to say it is the best road bike I have ever owned (out of 50) as it copes well with what passes as paved roads around here (Hampshire) potholes badly filled in, gravel everywhere, it's not bad on dirt, bit heavy in deep mud but plenty of low down torque, it copes easily with motorway speeds, cruising at 85mph easily, parts are plentiful and cheap compared to jap stuff. Infinatly rebuildable not that you ever need to do much. Only down side is they are getting on a bit. Regards Chris
