Produced from 1976 until 1984, the R100RS was BMW’s top-of-the-range sports tourer with superb build quality and excellent road manners that was made for long distance touring. Power came from a 980cc four-stroke two cylinder horizontally opposed Boxer engine that produced 75bhp. Driving through a 5-speed gearbox it could reach 60mph in 4.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 125mph with 49mpg economy. Brakes were powerful dual discs at the front with a single disc to the rear.
This all black 1981 Limited Edition model has just been fully serviced and recommissioned by the UK’s leading BMW Boxer specialists after a long period in dry storage – hence the low mileage of just 22,500. It is fitted with genuine BMW panniers and has an MOT until April 2011.
