AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

BMW R80 (Type 247) – One-of-a-kind custom-bike manufactory rebuild | Condition rating 1 | Value appraisal about €25,000

An exceptional BMW R80 (Type 247) is for sale, first registered in June 1986, from private ownership.

This motorcycle was not restored, but rebuilt from the ground up to the last screw — with the aim of creating a timeless, technically modern, and enduringly valuable one-off.

The complete refurbishment was carried out professionally by a specialized custom-bike manufacturer. The financial cost of the project was over €20,000 and is verifiable both technically and visually. The motorcycle is in absolutely top condition and has a valuation report with an overall grade of 1 and a replacement value of about €25,000.

Special Features & Technology

Completely rebuilt engine, currently around 2,000 km of operation since the rebuild.
Sandblasted lattice-tube frame, newly primed and painted.
Steel structural components (tank, fenders, etc.) newly manufactured in aluminum 1:1 → permanently rust-free
rear single-sided swingarm
Wilbers shock absorbers
Front dual-disc brake with stainless steel braided brake lines.
Open K&N air filters
Ironhead Shorties muffler, rich, punchy sound
Motogadget instrument cluster, highly adjustable.
Keyless start via transponder chip (immobilizer integrated)
LSL handlebars with integrated LED turn signals
Free-floating single seat
All modifications properly registered in the vehicle registration document.
Driving feel & presence

The motorcycle handles like a modern bike, while at the same time retaining the classic BMW DNA.
It's a real eye-catcher – almost every fueling stop ends up in conversation.
A motorcycle for connoisseurs, collectors, or lovers of high-quality one-off pieces.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
