BMW’s air-cooled boxer twins have become the go-to canvas for custom builders, and this 1985 R80 Bobber shows exactly why. Built on the legendary shaft-drive R80 platform, it’s a stripped-back, no-nonsense machine with all the fat trimmed off and all the attitude left in.

Finished in clean white with a hand-stitched tan solo seat, this bike nails the classic bobber stance: shortened rear frame, minimalist fenders, bar-end mirrors and those original alloy BMW wheels wrapped in aggressive dual-purpose tyres. The trademark boxer engine sits proudly on display, breathing through individual pod filters and barking through custom pipes – that distinctive BMW thrum is half the experience.

If you’ve been looking to step into the custom/bobber scene, this R80 is a seriously cool entry ticket: iconic drivetrain, honest engineering and a killer look that stands out at any café, bike night or Sunday run. Start it, drop it into gear and enjoy that old-school BMW character in a modern custom package.
