BMW R-Series description

This 1979 BMW R100 has had one long term California owner.  Retaining its original blue license plates, this motorcycle has been meticulously maintained from new. 

The motorcycle is equipped with a special order police issue solo seat from Great Britain.  Dual disks on the front and a single disk on the rear - new master cylinder.  New westco battery, rebuilt carbs, tuned and sync'd, new valve covers, new valve cover gaskets, rebuilt petcocks, freshly powder coated snowflake wheels, new tires, new tubes, new handlebar switches. 

The 1000cc motor pulls strong and smooth with incredible torque. Gear change is smooth and precise. 

I have a complete set of panniers and chrome brackets available for the bike, these can be fitted at request.  

Having just had a major service, this BMW is ready to ride anywhere, fly in - ride home.  This is a very handsome classic airhead. 

Clear California title, registered and insured. 

I can deliver anywhere in the USA for $500.

The first prototype produced in 1953 was equipped with a 175cc Single producing about 8hp while the 1954 prototype (pictured above) was equipped with a 200cc producing about 10hp.

2024 BMW R18 Roctane Review – First Ride

Elegant contours, hard storage, and big jugs Our perception of the world is influenced by both nature and nurture. Just as our individual experiences shape how we view situations, the same can be said for the handlebars you sit behind. Each bike delivers its own unique experience that plays a part in how you interact with and take in the scenery around you whether that be flying through mountain roads at warp speed, filtering through traffic on the way to work, or cruising through expansive glacial valleys skirting the German/Austrian border.
