Produced from 1993 to 2001, the BMW R1100RS was a sport-touring motorcycle powered by a 90bhp, 1,085cc boxer twin engine – the first of the R259 “Oilhead” boxers, with air-cooled cylinders and an oil-cooled head – mated to a five-speed transmission. Naturally, it also used shaft-drive and BMW’s highly-regarded Telelever front suspension design – which outwardly resembled telescopic forks but was far less prone to dive – and Paralever rear suspension. Braking was by twin 12in discs at the front and a single disc at the rear, with optional ABS. As with almost all later Oilhead BMWs, it was of frameless construction, the engine functioning as a stressed member. In America, Cycle World named it the best standard motorcycle of 1994.
Offered from a deceased’s estate, this very original 1995 BMW R1100RS had just two owners until early 2025 and has covered under 15,000 miles from new. Acquired by the late owner in 2006, it was always maintained to a high standard and was recommissioned in 2024 having been out of use since 2009. It is supplied with the current V5C, various MOT certificates and handbooks, among other papers, plus matching panniers. The engine describes the engine, electrics, frame and suspension as “very good” and the paint and transmission as “good.”
