1981 BMW R80 G/S by Johnston Moto
Description
“In 2018 the Dakar Rally kicked off in Lima, Peru. It was the 40th edition of the notorious race, and a lot has changed since 1978, when intrepid racers lined in up Paris. Modern Dakar bikes are lightweight, sophisticated off-roaders, with a maximum capacity of 450cc. But the early days of the rally were dominated by mammoth desert racers—like the mighty BMW R80G/S, which racked up four wins in the 80s. Builder extraordinaire Mark Johnston from the northern suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa started Johnston Moto in 2018 with a clear mission to produce a reimagined version of this legendary Gelände Straße in astonishing detail and engineering superiority to the original racer. His motorbike commisions are cherised by collectors and serious adventurers worldwide”.
