Selling The BMW R80S!!

3 years on and its time to reluctantly sell the old Airhead, We've had some pretty amazing trips all over the South Island of NZ.
Now for some thing new, but what??

Hi Johno, I am into year 6 of owning my Suzuki Vstrom 650..would like to upgrade .I would love a Yamaha 850 Tracer,which is on my radar.More Hp than the Vstrom 1000 and lighter than my 650,more room for the better half and I can give those litre bikes a fare scare too!
Just depends what you want to do...70% of NZ roads are not sealed...hope I helped you mate!
By the way ,I rode my brothers Vstrom 650 around Hawkes Bay at Christmas time!Loved it!

Kenevan Taylor the Vstrom's are great bikes and looked at them a few years back, I kind of what to go for some thing with classic looks but can Tour 🙂

Don't do it Jonny! I made that mistake years ago. I know it may be tough, but keep your old bike and find another way to get your new one. You may want to pass the old Beemer on to your son. It would be a good bonding experience.

Gobo Win I totally agree, was sad to sell it. The next bike will probably be a keeper I hope going to take my time

[@gobowin6568]

Yeh ! I know exactly how it is, I loved my old R80 and rode it to Scotland a couple of times before selling it and moving to the States. Now I have a Kawasaki ZRX1100, which I won't sell, I will just expand my collection. I hope you keep riding though, cos I sure have enjoyed the vlogs. All the best.

She's a beautiful looking bike mate. Must've been a hard decision to make, but make it you did. Now, what's next I wonder !!!

[@phonetic808]

Volgnit was a very hard, going to take my time and test a few bikes first, and a few new bikes coming out soon too 😉

[@Naturesrhythm44]

Looking forward to seeing what you get.I like the retro look too.I think the ducati scrambler is pretty cool.
Have you checked out first european? Im sure you would have done.They have some nice bikes

[@Getzopurple]

xsr is very good pulls super hard idk how to spell it but i heard its quite torqy

[@phonetic808]

Getzopurple same going to have to try it out, but looks a bit to chunky like a Casio g shock on two Wheels

[@TheDonmackinnon]

What year did you sell it and how much for thanks 😀

[@phonetic808]

Don MacKinnon hi Don, I sold it in Jan 2017 for around $5500 , I bought it for $5000 back in 2014 so they go up in money. That was in New Zealand and this was in mint condition. seen them sell for way more though

[@GetInThereLewis.nz1]

[@phonetic808]

Leon Mooney that will be the first thing I do with the new bike
