I've owned an the R100 in GS form and ridden countless R80's. The R80 is alot smoother and even the gearbox seems better. I agree with Harvey that a bigger tank would be of benefit for overlanding as the standard tank range is not huge.
If you decide to buy the bike it's worth bearing in mind that, dependind on its age and mileage, there may be some considerable preperation required to make the bike reliable and suitable for a long overland trip. There are loads of threads on this site devoted to this very subject.
