BMW R80 Scrambler - Part 1: Buying, Cleaning, Riding

[@abcon]

Hi T. Looks like a very well cared for bike in excellent condition. I think you will be very satisfied with that one. Looking forward to see what you come up with this time 😀 . Hope to see some build videos soon. Best regards T.

Hi! It seems to be in good condition. Starts very well everytime and no leaking so far, but I have only been able to do a very short test ride, with the Covid-19 situation it'll be inside for some time. I was happy with the overall look of the previous one, but this time I'll spend some more attention to detail, quality and safety/legality :) You can expect one video every week I think.

Nice bike! Look forward to the rest of your rebuild

[@Tibiskui]

Brillant this is exactly why I clicked subscribe and that notification icon! Keep it up, very excited to see the end results. Curious what colours etc you'll choose this time :)

[@ThomasC]

Thanks! I have not decided on a color yet. Seat and grips will be dark brown like last time, so suggestions are welcome!

@@ThomasC Hey, I just have one question, I've been wondering for a while! From where did you purchase / or what make was it that windshield / screen that you had on that original build?

[@ThomasC]

@@jimbean4945 "MRA Roadshield", I still have it. It didn't help much though, it blocks a bit of wind from hitting your body, but it causes turbulent air where your helmet has to go through and makes your head wobble the whole time. I can tell you that after riding 10h straight (Prague - home) my neck was pretty much broken :)

Хорошо выглядит для 32-х летнего старичка с пробегом 132000 км!

[@IdaelDiaz]

Wao, I saw your previous videos long time ago, nd now that im looking to buy this exact model, you get one! Im buying one tomorrow

[@ThomasC]

Couldn't be a better gift for easter! Let me know if there's anything you want to know when building yours!

[@IdaelDiaz]

Thomas C absolutely. Best regards

[@rc2634]

132.000 km? It looks almost new! Wow Any mechanical problems ?

[@ThomasC]

Once you start looking at details you see traces of its 28 years of service, but it starts from the first try and all works perfectly! Previous owner did take good care of it I assume.

@@ThomasC absolutely awesome! A friend of mine had one and it was a beautiful bike! I will keep up with the project

[@ThomasC]

@@rc2634 Thanks, I appreciati it!

Hey Thomas, ik heb al je video’s (tot nu toe) van je 2e project bekeken! Looking awesome! Nu denk ik er zelf ook over na om een project te starten met een bmw. Hoe hoog komt bij jou het kostenplaatje ongeveer? Exclusief de aankoop van de motor...

[@LifeofRubbel]

mooi

[@dieselpr1]

Can you share a parts list?

[@ThomasC]

I will, but probably after I have finished building it.

Ready to share a parts list? I just embarked on my own project of a 1984 bmw r100rt.
