Gunn's BMW R80

[@jamesdunn9714]

Those slash seven fuel tanks are a thing of beauty. Best looking petrol tank ever put on a moto.

[@esslar1]

That sound...I didn't think BMWs could ever sound like that!

[@tolga1cool]

About the stripped thread. You should have a look at helicoil

[@rafnilahmad277]

Never realized until now that something rusty can be so beautiful. Nice bike man.

[@ponyboy1664]

Love these old BMWs. They're tanks! 💪

[@dbwvanderheijden]

Great bike! I am driving a r100rs which I turned into a scrambler. They ARE great bikes to work on and sound amazing.

[@rrobotman]

These old BMs are classic rides. Looks good!

[@kellyjohna]

Wow I like that sound.... Got an 86.

[@1990-t1j]

Great bike. I ran an 1100GS for over 90,000 miles. I miss it.

[@jurcenko48]

Very nice Gunn. Love this style with brat style seat and those handlebars.

[@steppenwolf5956]

Sound is great 👍

[@olrenison]

Really nice. Unusual shock set-up. Sounds awesome. 👍

[@danilocapellan1316]

Beautiful motorcycle. 👍🏽

[@chhindz]

Had a quartz headlamp like that on my 72 Norton

[@66smashy]

I'm sure ive never seen a monoshock one of those. Nice bike.

[@philipjackson5818]

Have just acquired one of these in original condition one owner and it has spoke wheels, no idea if I keep it original and restore or custom but your bike looks cool

[@heridwipurnomo1]

[@BikeShedMotoCo]

Heri Dwi Purnomo Thanks Heri, we’re glad you like the videos!

[@kayliemo2056]

"no one can see you" 😂

[@thorstenwanoth6774]

I bent my subframe to fit around my Wilbers rear shock. A welder is your friend.

[@northernlightse3066]

Awesome! Can you say what handlebars those are? Would love to know the silencers as well...

[@victorpelini5995]

the boxer sound

[@eNke6661341324eweqwe]

Hi Gunn and Bike Shed :) What kind of tires are you wearing? I can't seem to find any writings or comment about it. I am considering replacing my Heidenau K60 for some more slicks kinda tires. Yours look cool. Is it Pirelli MT60 RS and are they any good :) ? Best Tobias

[@YOGINIO]

Hi mate, nice vid and nice bike! Do you have a link for the rear sub frame? Ta

[@maz68320]

Salut, je recherche les même rallonge d'échappement. Quelqu'un peut le dire ou les trouver ?

[@Fxrdaddy]

From where did he say he got the seat and seat frame from?

[@HairyMTB]

Try a helicoil to solve that stripped bolt problem

[@ItchyKneeSon]

haha The ending was pretty hilarious. :D

[@Fxrdaddy]

Anybody got the link to that muffler?

[@knightlautrec4311]

Hope he found out about helicoil in the 3yrs since

[@charliebattye801]

One of my favourite Staff Bikes!! What is the seat height? And how tall is Gunn?

[@BikeShedMotoCo]

He's about 7ft 20". We'll check.

[@symoonstar23]

[@briangtester2536]

Holy shit my bike is so trendy.. the hipsters are coming all over it, its discusting. Might just not throw it away for a zzr600 just yet ... har. got a fantastic looking r80/7!

[@robsthedon]

Fork gators and lose the front mudguard.

[@nourileopar8980]

[@neilbobbett]

Heli coil

[@BN1960]

Is Gunn your first, middle or last name? Do you have a son? How fast at drawing are you? Is your partner called Annie?

[@BikeShedMotoCo]

LOL

[@itaigueta8548]

drop the headlight 2 inches down and loose the ugly front mud guard and thi one ill be a CHAMP

[@musiccylinderK6]

Need some front guard unless you just want to ride it to the pub on a sunny summer's day, though I agree it could use a lighter and sleeker look down there

[@ericb252]

Please do one for the BMW R nineT. They look so ugly and need help to make it look more retro like this one

[@JohnSmith-mu5qh]

You 'hated them when you bought it' but you went ahead and got one cos they're supposed to be 'easy to work on'? Bollocks. You got it because every 3rd damn bike that Bike Shed features is another hipster clone BMW R-series brat / scrambler / café racer blah blah blah blah blah. It's the Shoreditch bike equivalent of a sailor tattoo for Spitalfields twats. God damn, BMSC looked once upon a time like it might be a genuinely rootsy community of people who wanted to engineer cool, older bikes, but it's just another corporate wannabe shell of an organisation now. And Jesus is it ever boring.

[@BikeShedMotoCo]

Two unnecessarily angry posts on one thread! Blimey. We should charge you a fee for providing online keyboard therapy. ...There are more positive ways to make the world a better place than moaning about things you don't like, but it's your call. Fill yer boots.

[@donnylittle5820]

John Smith Why even bother posting a reply mate. He bought the bike to learn how to spanner. A good choice if it’s your first in my opinion. Who cares if it’s the “hipster bike of choice” He’s doing it and having a blast. He rides that thing on a shitty commute every day and good on him. Not my thing but I’ll be dammed if it would stop me riding one. Any bike is a good bike. If you don’t like it why bother? I genuinely don’t get it. I’ve been a despatch rider, a racer, a commuter and a regular at the Bikeshed since they opened. No one is excluded. That’s the point. Hating doesn’t help anyone. Least of all you. Get out more
