In truth the R80 is only in 90% working condition for a few hours riding every once in a while. Nice when it happens though.
Airhead-
Well in that case sounds like service intervals aren't such a big problem. Kind of liked the RSV for similar but different reasons, was agony on the wrists and lower back plus you really had to be switched on. It demanded your attention and was uncompromising, which if you can only ride for a couple of hours a fortnight ticked all the boxes.

Got to agree. For dirt, 250 would be awesome but imagine it could get annoying quickly for 'road work', even in London. Also less stress on the motor. Good you're up on the service intervals for dirt oriented bikes, I almost spat my tea out when realising it's listed in hours as opposed to miles.
