Description
Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 1993 BMW R100R. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
Manufactured from 1991 to 1995, the BMW R100R was the last air-cooled BMW model with a two-valve engine. Known for its smooth ride, reliability, and classic styling, the R100R had a 980cc engine that produced 60 horsepower and had a top speed of around 110 miles per hour. A unique feature of the R100R was the “Monolever” rear suspension system, which used a single-sided swingarm to reduce weight and improve handling. The R100R came standard with Akront tubeless wider profile rims that further added to the modern features that BMW outfitted this bike with.
With a comfortable seating position and a notoriously smooth transmission, the R100R is a go-to vintage motorcycle for the everyday rider.
The seller of this iconic classic sums up the custom build as such: “Many components were custom built, fabricated and designed especially for this project. This truly makes this build one of a kind. From strip down to test and tune, this project took two years to complete. Not one aspect of the bike was overlooked, renewed or refreshed. This is not your average chopped up ‘café build’”
