The 1991 MY BMW R 80 R has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 797cc, boxer twin cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, that reaches a maximum power output of 50 horsepower and 61 Nm of torque.
Standard fittings for this naked two-wheeler include a front disc brake coupled to a rear drum, die-cast aluminium wheels, a dual seat, passenger grab rails, a dual exhaust system, a large-capacity 24-liter (6.3-gallon) fuel tank, engine guards, a small windscreen, an analogue instrument cluster and a suspension package composed of a telescopic front fork and a BMW Motorrad Paralever unit in the rear.
