The R100/7 was a versatile member of BMW’s /7 lineup, offering the comfort and practicality of a touring motorcycle with a large displacement boxer twin. Powered by a 980cc air cooled engine, the R100/7 delivered smooth, tractable power through a five-speed transmission, while shaft drive provided BMW’s trademark low maintenance drivetrain.
For 1977, BMW revised the R100/7’s suspension with increased travel and more progressive damping. Braking was handled by disc and drum components.
The R100/7 remains an appealing choice for riders drawn to classic BMW bikes. Understated styling, and practical long distance capability has helped make the model a favorite among vintage BMW enthusiasts and riders looking for a usable classic motorcycle.
This example was transformed by Magnum Opus Customs in 2020, bringing a more contemporary look, components, and riding experience. The build retains the original 980cc engine and shaft drive layout but pairs it withg a modernized front end, revised wheels, updated controls, and a custom seat.
