Just a few years after introducing the R90/6 and "luxury" Daytona Orange and TT Silver Smoke R90S, BMW upped the capacity of its range-topping flat-twins to 980 cc in the form of the R100/7 series, the flagship of this new line-up being the fully-faired R100RS "superbike". Although styled like a super-sports machine, the R100RS was more of a sports-tourer, which did it no harm whatsoever in BMW's traditional market sector. Extensive wind tunnel testing took place to get the fairing right – it ultimately set a standard the industry copied – in the Stuttgart Technical University and in Pininfarina's tunnel in Italy.
This early R100RS dates from the first year of production and thus has the wire wheels fitted. It is completely original and has relatively few miles on the odometer. You won't find a specimen like this very often so it represents a quite unique chance to acquire such a splendid R100RS.
