Description

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

BMW built a series of bikes around the 980cc boxer twin. In the “S” configuration, which features a small front fairing, the motor was good for 66 horsepower. Beyond the bodywork, the chassis had been given an upgrade in terms of stiffness, providing a more stable and responsive ride. With subtle touches such as a bleeder valve in the forks to decrease nose-dive and increased power over previous years and models, the R100S was poised to be a a optimal choice for riders looking to cruise at the ton for miles on end.

This example is VIN: 6162698. The seller purchased this motorcycle 11 years ago from a BMW dealership in Denver, Colorado. The dealership had this example on consignment from a local estate.

The seller states the odometer was replaced approximately in 2013. The true mileage is unknown.

The seller has included documentation of the service work done to this motorcycle, which includes routine oil changes, replacing brake pads and rotors, and valve checks.


Modifications:
Color-matched solo seat with Krauser luggage.

Inside of the tank:
