I think that the R100GS would be better.
A little more horsepower and torque.
With the paraleaver. The driveshaft will have to be replaced every 40,000 miles but it gives you a longer wheel base and you can use the tubeless trie wire wheels.
There are some fixes that should be done to the transmission and electrics but over all
they are good bikes that can be overloaded and abused.
Grant has put 1000cc jugs on his GS and is thinking of adding a paraleaver.
I am not sure which is easer (cheaper?) converting a R80GS to a R100GS or buying a R100GS and fixing its problems.
Good luck, John.
