BMW R80 Scrambler - the build process

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Throwback to 2016!
Buying a 1985 R80RT and converting it into a scrambler.
I made lots of daytrips and some longer journeys as well.
In 2017 I sold it and bought a Ducati Scrambler, but the charm of that old boxer engine is something.
2020 edit: I just bought a new R80 project bike, check out the series of videos of the build!
Just spent the day working on mine and thought Id cone for some inspiration. Not nearly finished but getting there. Nice bike!
how much did u pay for it
I must have watched this video at least 50 times now. Such a beautiful build. Real shame you sold it.
Thanks! I'm seriously thinking about a new build next winter...
@@ThomasC Sure hope you record it if you do :) I'm subscribed and ready! I've just bought a BMW motorbike having taken a lot of inspiration from your video actually. A K75, the price of the R80's seems quite substantially higher. I think the only thing that lets the K75 down is the tank. Not sure how easy/hard that is to change but I haven't seen many examples of K75 with different tanks. Not sure what I've got myself in for here. Thanks for the reply. Seriously great video. Thanks Jim
I sold my r100rs last yr..been regretting it ever since..seeing this was like lemon juice on the wound. Very nice.
The best project I've ever seen! So brilliant!
I appreciate it!
OMG a BMW 2 valve boxer sounds great..... wow. Nice project. Thaks for sharing.
I love it. I have R 80/ 70 here in the Philippines too
Very lovely bike
Very nice build. Tank color indeed a lot better than gold option. Think the bike would look awesome if you’d replace all the chrome parts for mat black ones. Still a great bike though. 👍🏼
I think it would look cheap 🤔
Possibly
What a superbly beautiful bike. Thanks for uploading!
Very stylish one. Great approach - thumbs up!
Fantastic, thanks for sharing what you did!
Thanks for subscribing!
Stock r80rt’s will be worth money one day because of the popularity of these types of builds.
This bike looks incredible!! I just picked up a 1982 R80RT, I hope it turns out half as nice as yours!
How's it?
Wow that’s cool
Nice and Clean Lines ! Saved to one of my Favorites !
Very inspiring. Building courage for my own winter project haha.
Bet you had more of an attachment with the bike you styled and worked on than the other one you bought, apart from the engine configuration,, you get a sense of purpose and especially since you did a few long trips,, before you sold it,, looking forward to the next build 👌👌👌
Next build is on the way, probably on the road next week! Check out my recent videos for the build!
@@ThomasC OHHHH MY GOD - you did this to the bike????? Shame on you!
Nice work! Thanks for sharing the video!
Love this build. Looks like you had fun w it

Superbe transformation ! Elle est top !
That thing is awesome!
Beautiful bike
Cool video...congrats!!!!!
I Love that bike!!!
good job and beautyful bike!
Great edit and great work on the bike!
Beautiful! The only thing I would change is the back suspension, which looks somehow small or flimsy for a rather bulky bike. Great job!
eliade66 I replaced it with a YSS spring, but in a later stage. In the video of my Luxembourg trip you should be able to see it. It made a ton of difference!
Yeah, I could sense it in some instants of your Luxembourg trip video. It indeed makes a good difference!
I was also impressed with your fire starting technique! You should patent it! :))
Drive safe and beware to the sand on the way when steering! :))
Love your build!
awesome work!!!
Very nice build, cheers!
Awesome build, great editing too! 👍
Thanks!
She's a beauty!
Very nice mate

Awesome, congrats
Super boulot !
Nice job 👍👍👍👍👍
I love this video 😍
geniales Video, echt schön geworden das BIke.
You did it!
how much did you spend on this project total?
Good job
Well done!
Magnifique beau travail
Well done dude! Good luck!
Good result but geez the previous R80RT looked near mint! I’ve got a 1980 R100s fully restored to original & no way could I do this to that! 🤔
Nice job buddy
Nice job 👍🏼👍🏼
Good one mate 👍😃
Nice ! well done.
Is it possible not to change the subframe and make it look good? And does vonzeti sell the seat for the original subframe?
Good Job....Very Nice
Will this build/style be possible for the newer R1150 or R1200? It has the paralever suspension which I don't know if it will look fine with a classic scrambler/cafe racer look. I suppose replacing the existing gas tank will be part of it.
very nice, sir!
hellp thomas
your 2.0 built, how much did all the parts go for?
Thomas, watched all your videos with interest and am building my own scrambler now. I can’t work out which exhaust and muffler system you used, as the mufflers you bough first, stuck out (don’t like that either) and you said you’d change them for a full system. What did you order?
I ordered a full exhaust pipe set that you usually find on the older style R80. Those older ones (pre ´83) don´t have a catalytic converter under the frame and just go straight to the back, where they flare up and outward a bit. The ´newer´ (1984-1995) don´t flare up as much and they point outwards a lot more, so with standard mufflers they don´t look as good. If your bike is post-´84 it will have the newer center stand and that doesn´t work with the older pipes, so you´ll have to take the center stand off like I did, apart from that there´s no real downside.
Très belle customisation!!!
wow,,, i jst loved it...!
wtf it’s nice ! Love 😍
Hi Thomas. It was a Nice bike. Do you by any chance have a part list?
Too long ago I'm afraid... but I just bought a new R80 as a project so videos will folow soon! :-)
Thomas C look forward to see a new project. My father was getting too Old to ride hos r80rt, so i bought it and is starting to figure out what to do with it.
@@abcon awesome!
nice job
How much was total project? And did you list what you got ? Can you post it pleasse? Thank you!
Hi, just check the other comments below, everything you ask has been asked before :-)
*Very nice!*
👏 👏 👊 💥
Hey I just finished watching your video I have a BMW R 60 myself but I want to turn into a scrambler inspired by the job that you did. I don’t know much about names of motorcycle parts and things like that it would be great if you could actually if you could give me an idea of names and parts on how you build your custom BMW.
nice work....
Looks great. Question: do you feel 'anyone can do it' or do you need a degree in engineer to pull something like this off?
Those Renthal handle bars, which ones are they exactly? The Road lows? Thanks!
How did u get the megaton mufflers to sound so delicate? Those mufflers are LOUD!
Damping whool and DB killers in them. The whool didn't last long though
darf ich fragen wie viel die versicherung für sowas selbstgebautes kostet
Great job , which exhaust are you using, thanks
Man, that bike was already "ugly" beautiful when you bought it, but now it's really gorgeous! Great work! Original suspension setup is adequate for light scramble like offroad?
Thanks! Rear shock was replaced and forks got new oil, the ride got a bit stiffer and better in the corners. Off-road was okay :-)
What size tires are you running?
Could you let me know the parts you bought? Did you use the oem controls?
Very nice
Where abouts did you get the rear foot pegs from? They’re really nice
