Suh-weeeeet!  ;)  

Love the blacked out motor!  Kind of looks like a mono model to me, but what do I know?  ::)

That's the 1983 R80ST custom currently for sale on eBay. Current bid is @ $8100, seller has a "Buy it Now" price of $15,000 :o
Here' the link if interested:

It's created quite a love/hate relationship in the debates over at Boxerworks.
I believe I'll leave my own opinions out of the discussion... ::)

Woa! 15K! A bit too refined for my wallet. I'll file this one away as I scrounge the bone yards for my fantasy R65 custom which is a muse in progress.

Well I like the overall effect of this bike.  I love the blacked out engine, the tank, the seat.  But I would, of course, change a few things if it was mine and I had my lottery money...   :P

I do like the bob style.
