BMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines producing their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. In 1955 BMW created its 'R' series of R50, R60, and R69 models with similar engines and the same shaft-drive as earlier models but fitted with swinging fork rear suspension for the first time and most distinctively, 'Earles' type front forks. BMW have always built expensive motorcycles, but you got what you paid for and they quickly gained an enviable reputation for long lasting reliability and quality. The 'K' series of models, starting with the K100 in 1983 was a departure from BMW's traditional boxer-twin engines featuring liquid-cooled inline-four and later six-cylinder engines. Keeping up the tradition of more avant-garde chassis design, later models had BMW's patented Telelever front and Paralever rear suspension with wind tunnel designed bodywork offering excellent wind protection and stability at high speeds.

This K100RS, offered in excellent condition, comes fitted with genuine BMW QD panniers, including liners and a top box. The RS is the more 'Sports Touring' orientated model with an adjustable screen and lower adjustable handlebars. It has recently been serviced by the vendor, a motorcycle mechanic by trade currently working in BSB, and fitted with a new exhaust heat shield and rear brake line. A very clean and original bike, it will be MOTd before the auction and supplied with a current V5C.
