The BMW R1100S was a sport-touring motorcycle produced from 1998 to 2005. Featuring a fuel-injected, eight-valve “boxer” flat-twin of 1,085cc with air-cooled cylinders and oil-cooled heads, it produced around 98bhp. It additionally utilised a six-speed gearbox and BMW's well-like Telelever front suspension and Paralever rear suspension. The strong, lightweight aluminium frame incorporated the engine as a stressed member. It was notable as the first BMW with clip-on handlebars, rear-set footrests and a removable cowl for the pillion, as well as then being BMW’s most powerful flat-twin ever. The R1100S delivered strong low-end torque and decent overall performance, with its cornering ability and lack of dive under braking receiving particular praise.

This highly original 2001 R1100S was purchased new from Clarks BMW of Lickey Road, Birmingham, by the late owner, a BMW enthusiast who also owned the 1998 R1200C which appears in this sale. They made an ideal two-bike stable, with the R1200C for cruising and the R1100S for more spirited riding. Indeed, the owner enjoyed the R1100S very much, not only keeping it well-maintained for road use but also putting it through its paces in the odd track day. Sadly, it had to be placed in storage in 2017 due to the owner’s declining health, hence some recommissioning will be required. It is sold with the current V5C.
