Locked Re: HansA Muth Video About the R80G/S
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýActually it¡¯s Hans Albrecht Muth, but he always signs off HansA. ? Robert Lutz was the master mind, Hans was the designer who got everyone¡¯s attention and put BMW back on the map. ? ¡°The R90S handles and stops almost as well as the best Italian sportster; is almost as fast as the fastest Japanese road burner; almost as uncomplicated as the good old British twin; and almost as smooth as the best multi. When it comes to comfort, and capability for traveling at maximum speed with minimum fatigue, the R90S is second to none.¡± ? ? ? For the whole story: ? ? 2019 Rally Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the R80GS & R65LS, both were designed together in 1979 ? ? ? Todd Trumbore ? ? ? HansA Muth (yes it is spelled correctly :-) he is a designer :-) recently sent out a very nice video about how the R80G/S came about; he designed the R80G/S as well as the R90S, R100RS, the R65LS and more. ? It can be found here, at the Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners website ? ? The "Modern" R80G/S you see painted red in the above video was brought from Germany and featured at the 40th Anniversary R80G/S-R65LS Rally which some of you attended, at Todd Trumbore's?house in eastern PA. Todd put on that fabulous rally as well as the ones for the R90S and R100RS. Lucky you were if you were able to attend those fabulous events ? You will also see Georg Martin featured in this video, he put together this modern red R80G/S with the crew from the 3 BMW motorcycle dealerships he and his two sons own in Germany, they are the largest BMW motorcycle dealer in Germany. See ? Note his collection of vintage BMW motorcycles in the background of the video! ? They will make the same modern R80G/S you see in the video, for anyone who wants one :-)? ? Enjoy!! ? ?
