I've got a 1980 BMW R100T. It's 980cc, plenty of torque, but only 65 hp.

I bought it from the original owner in 2016, when I temporarily didn't have a Spyder. I'd always wanted to own a BMW, the flat air-cooled twin is pretty cool.

I haven't ridden it in two years. I don't have the desire anymore. The guys I used to ride the bike with have all disappeared. My wife no longer wants to ride it either.

I've got two great toys anyway, the Spyder and the Cayman. They're a whole lot of fun.

It's got over 60k(heads and cylinders freshened before I bought it) on it. I replaced the tires and rebuilt and synched the carbs. I took the gauge cluster apart, cleaned it up, replaced the bulbs. Replaced the rear shocks. Took off the luggage and seat rack and crash bar. Took off the aftermarket fairing/shield and put some louder shorty mufflers on it. Removed the big flag mirrors in favor of bar-ends. Kind of a semi-cafe look. Adjusted the valves, replaced all the gear oils, engine oil every spring. 20200112_135248_HDR

$3700 takes it and all the stuff I took off.

Stan. You should buy it. I would if I wanted to be a bachelor.
