By the 1970s, BMW enjoyed a great reputation for quality and reliability—exemplified by the R100 range of 1976—but less so for glamour and excitement. To revitalise its image, it engaged stylist Hans Muth to come up with a sleek, up-to-date sports tourer design, with the resulting R100RS being easily distinguished by its almost futuristic fairing, the result of hours in a wind tunnel. While 125mph was the claimed top speed, its ability to cruise at 100mph was its most impressive attribute, which made it a joy over long distances. It shared its 980cc flat-twin and five-speed with the other R100s, but the RS was the most popular, selling 33,648 units up to 1984.

This very original, end-of-production R100RS was supplied new to Britain and has had twelve registered keepers. The tenth owned it from 2004 to 2020, and the present owner acquired it in 2023. Showing a believed-genuine 82,240 miles, it has been very much cherished by the previous owners, with a continuous MOT record from 2006 to 2022; of course, in 2024, it became exempt. Our vendor intended to use it for touring but never found the time, so it has seen little use of late. It is supplied with the V5C and assorted papers including MOTs and invoices, plus its original panniers.
