BMW R80 - Ride Review - Hoske Exhaust Sound - Walkaround
A ride on review of my 1984 BMW R80. I should also so, I'm not a vlogger, reviewer, just a guy who loves his bikes.
Raw hoske exhaust, the audio clipped a bit. The microphones were turned down as low as they would go, it's just that loud ;)

1984 BMW R80 - Hoske Exhaust Sound - Progress Update
Переглядів 6 тис.3 роки тому
A quick update on progress with the R80! New Hoske pipes and straight headers on.. sounds amazing. You do give up a little in the mid range without the crossovers, but it gives the bike a much cleaner look and classic sound.

A tour of the legendary Honda RC24 VFR750. This bike is often forgotten in the shadow of the amazing RC36, but for its time, this was one of the best bikes on the road. Still, 32 years later, it stacks up well against not only vintage bikes, but a lot of it's more modern equivalents!

A quick introduction to my Honda VFR750 RC24. 66,000kms on the clock. A classic Japanese machine.
the Bike sounds like way to lean !
❤❤❤❤❤
Beauty. Do your bags still fit with the Hoskes?
Hahaha 😂
I got the 750 slingshot instead and didn't keep it long. Should have got the VFR. I've got a '99 twin cam Harley low rider with brakes from '87. Looking at a MK1 VFR with 19k miles so came here for a look. Good luck with your channel.

Japan actually belong to me 😅
I have the mark of the man that ..he was Roman like me ..thst killed Yesua. OMG. Dont believe me. His name was Longines Roman centurion. You will see me amd never know Im Roman. 😅😅😅
2 friends of mine a R75 and R90S. I had a Moto Guzzi V7 III Special and a Harley Sportster.
Wow. She’s a beauty.
Just purchased a white, 1991 VFR750 RC36 with 14k miles.. All original, including the seat cowl, side stand fairing, exhaust & super long rear fender (though it has a short one fitted) I love it.. should have bought one far sooner! I have 6 other 90s Sportbikes, but it’s the VFR keys I’m grabbing more often than not 😁👍🏼
The Hoske exhaust sounds clean!
She’s a beauty.
When I was 17 I had a Suzuki 150 twin. The guy down the street with the YL1 always kicked my arse when we raced.
Looks newer than a 1985.cause that’s when the interceptor was made.
Beautiful 👍🏼
Beautiful bike, although I would have gone with shiny black and pinstripe for the rear fender too, personally. Other than that, I have no complaints :D
I had a twin jet 100 in 1970. I loved this bike. I did fine out that if you go over 55 mph for 20 miles you will probably blow the motor.
If the carburettors and ignition timing are correctly set, the engine will not blow up. I did tens of thousands of miles on a YL1 that was tuned up a bit, including 100 mile stretches at 70mph. I never had any engine problems. The crankshaft has very large bearings and is almost identical to that of the later RD125 except that the connecting rods are a bit shorter. The bore and stroke are 38mm and 43mm respectively. The RD125 is 43mm bore and stroke.
Whats the price for a decent r80/7 outside of germany ?
Thanks for posting this vid. I'm looking to get back on the saddle after 6 years. I've had an R65, Triumph T100 and an R1150RT. Looking at something with a bit of age for historic plates so this bike seems to fit the criteria like a glove.....and so the hunt begins.
Great bike, great video! What microphones are those? Thanks for sharing!
Have a R80. Pretty nice engine me think. A total piece of work & gear box is fun.
how has the reliability been?
Bạn bán chiếc này chưa? Nếu chưa thì giá là bao nhiêu? Cảm ơn bạn nhiều❤
こんばんは。 とても懐かしい、VFR750F 今から30数年前乗ってました。 すたいるがとてもセクシーでかっこよかったな。 大切にしてあげてください。
Brings back good memories of owning one the same as this from new. I forgot how good the motor sounds. Makes me question owning a GSXR750R slingshot (1988) now. Rode it today and my hands where constantly going numb from weight on them and vibration. Used to ride my VFR750 for hours and feel fresh, it wasn't considered a tourer when I bought it, but it make sense that it has become one.
I just grabbed an 81 R100 and absolutely love it. great vid
I had one of them in silver (polaris metallic ?) back in London UK in 1991.. mine was from 1988 though and the tail light was different ! Awesome video !!
grass, gas or ass!
I bought this bike 5 months ago from the person you sold it to a couple of years ago. It was described to me as being a nut and bolt restoration when he bought it. I do not know if he was naive as he described in his ad, in the same way he purchased it from you I was told. Maybe you both were naive. After receiving the bike it was clearly apparent this was not the bike I purchased as described in his ad. I also note in your UA-cam review the previous owners effort of undertaking restoration. I have been restoring these particular airhead models for 20 years to a very high quality standard. The bike I received had been what I would describe as a tart up job. Seat not secured, no seat brackets fitted. Incorrect seat for the bike. Rusty main frame touched up with a brush, front and rear wheel bearings rusted by someone water or soda blasting the wheels hubs without removing or protecting them. Front brake master cylinder leaking, paint touched up to hide the damaged paint. Brake lines replaced with a stupid dual line from the master cylinder to the brake calipers. Ignition Coils moved forwards to allow fitting of the ignition black box to be mounted behind them. This causing the bike to stall due to the coils rubbing on the tank.I note in an invoice from a so called Sydney bmw expert, the owner mentions in it a rattle coming from under the tank. Their fix was to wrap the coils in cutdown foam stubbie holders. No idea. To remove the rear wheel had to cut off the left rear wheel bearing.Visual scoring on axle where the axle was hammered in. Incorrect wheel bearings fitted. Hazard wiring loom had removed by chopping off the loom where it enters the main wiring loom, and wires left bare. There are heaps more faults I can list. I have pulled the bike apart, and am currently completing a proper restoration on it. My word of advice when buying a airhead era bike is to be educated in them before spending your money. If I had the opportunity to see the bike before purchasing (not just pictures), I would have walked away. When I have finished the bike it will be properly restored.
Sad to hear your not enjoying the bike! I miss this bike terribly and sold it only as I had a young family. I’d actually love to buy the bike back at some point. The bike was never a professional resto. It was an engine out home restoration by an enthusiast. It was never “perfect”, and never put forward as being such. I’d suggest that if you had spent as much time organising a PPI as you did commenting on the internet, you’d have had a more realistic picture of the bike and not gone in “naive”. Regardless of my complete lack of involvement in your purchase (I haven’t owned this bike in years), I look forward to seeing the bike have even more love put in, and excited to hopefully have it back in my life one day!
just perfekt! 😀
I got to ride on the back of one in 68. Very fast. What is the top speed of these twin jets?
An unmodified YL1 has a top speed of 60 to 65mph, or around 100km/h. It can be modified to go considerably faster.
Because it used to be an RT, it probably still has the RT final drive ratio Try exchanging the fd with one from an R80 or R80/7, so then you have longer gears
How much
Very nice example and classic colours 👍🏻
In 1986 I wanted this bike so bad but couldn't afford it as a early twenty year old. What a nice bike.
I had a Suzuki AS50, very similar looks when I was 16. Fond memories. Lovely bike yours.
she's a beauty!
Beautiful bike ❤
My very first bike....rode the piss out of it.
Is the riding position comfortable? I assume the boxer configuration would make forward controls impossible?
Lovely bike👍
Nice bike!!! BACK IN 1995 I BOUGHT A 1978 BMW R80\7, FACTORY BROWN with YELLOW PINSTRIPE!! ThE SPORT SHELD and BMW REAR BAGS!!! NICE CLEAN BIKE!!! HAD A CARRY RACK!!!!! LOW BARS!!! I RODE HER FOR 3 YEARS!!!! NO PROBLEM!!!! IM LOOKING FOR ONE NOW!!! I WOULD LIKE A R100 S!!!!!!! ENJOYED YOUR FILM!!!IA GOOD FRIEND OF MINE LIVES OUTSIDE OF BENDOC AUSTRALIA!!! RIDES A BMW VINTAGE BIkE!!!!!
This was not a diminutive bike in its time. Because the riders were typically teenagers weighing less than 130 pounds this bike could give the average family sedan a run for its money. I had one. I got it up to 105 mph one day in ideal conditions. Scared the h_ll out of me, but I did it. Great memories.
Great machine
and I thought the road is the motor bike. WTF showing the road and not the bike.fuck duck
I'm looking at buying a 1978 r80/7 in Perth at the moment it has a racing cowl front on it yours sounds amazing
Pearler!
Masih ada lagi ke Moto ni bang
