'BMW have built their reputation almost solely on the touring virtues of their flat twins, so it was a pleasant reminder when I rode the R80 that a balance of performance and ride properties can produce a versatility based on excellent rather than average capability in every department.' - Bike magazine, July 1980. BMW's first 'R80' (nominally 800cc) model was the R80/7 introduced in 1977 as replacement for the 750cc R75/7. Like its predecessor, the R80/7 was powered by BMW's traditional air-cooled flat-twin engine coupled to low-maintenance shaft final drive transmission. Engineered to BMW's customarily high standards, the R80/7 was far from cheap and in 1978 cost around 40% more than Yamaha's similarly shaft-driven XS750 tourer. This R80/7 was delivered fitted with the 'Touring Integral Cockpit' (TIC) specified for police and military models. Original and unrestored, the machine displays a total of 56,525 kilometres on the odometer and comes with documentation confirming its service with the Royal Border (Military) Police in the Netherlands.

Es liegt eine Dokumentation vor, die den Einsatz bei der Königlich Niederländischen Grenzpolizei bestätigt.
