I won the 80lc that was on e-bay.Left at 2.30 yesterday morning and 20hrs later after a 650 mile road trip i which took in dropping paint work to Andy in Ilkeston then on to Maltby to pick up some bits i Finely got to Warrington and picked this up ;D  My Nan kindly left me a little somthing when she died so i invested it wisely in somthing she would approve of as long as it's Candy Blue.1owner,uk bike,matching numbers,handbooks,service book and tool kit are all still with it spare key has not even been used and still on it's factory tyres  I would say it's not minty mint but not far off.Also nice to see some of this  Coming from down sarf do not normally get to see much. |

Yep very pleased gave it a quick wipe over   Think i am going to leave this one alone and just clean it up only thing i have not seen before is the frame and engine number start 11A my other 80's in the past i am sure were 10X. |

Looks a lovely original bike that . You're not going to leave it outside chained up are you ?   Pretty sure 11A is the correct UK prefix for an RD80LC Think the 10X was either an identcal import to the UK RD80LC or the type that was actually an RD125LC with an 80LC engine ?. |

11A is the uk prefix. 10x is the German prefix. 10Y is French
Part numbers for these might start with 11a, 10x or 5r2.
Some parts were different depending on what country it was made for. Same part slight difference if that makes sense.
Ie speedo(mph/kph) , rear indicator brackets, headlamp brackets ( diff indicators.) headlamp rim/headlamp. Some Germany 10x models had twin seat with rear footrests.
