Lot details

Registration No: HN03 SFY
Frame No: WB10447A23ZG54492
MOT: None

  • 33,000 miles recorded
  • Realistically priced example of the highly respected touring version of BMW’s legendary boxer twin
  • Top box and panniers included

The BMW R 1150 RS sports touring motorcycle is powered by a 2-cylinder air- and oil-cooled longitudinally installed boxer engine producing some 95 hp. The suspension can be individually adjusted at the front and rear to suit the rider's preference, depending on whether sporting or more comfortable riding is desired. Seat height, handlebar position, wind shield and hand brake lever can also be adjusted. The sports tourer has several mechanically similar sibling models with largely identical engines and different chassis designs and equipment: the R 1150 R, the touring R 1150 RT and the adventure touring bike R 1150 GS / Adventure. From 2002 onwards dual ignition with two spark plugs per cylinder to improve running characteristics and exhaust emissions became available. The two-cylinder engine has electronic throttle-body injection, digital engine management, a regulated three-way catalytic converter, wet sump pressure-circulation lubrication, transistor ignition, a 12-volt starter battery with a capacity of 19 Ah, and an alternator with 700 watts of output.

Registering some 33,000 miles and reported to be in good condition but not ridden recently due to ill health, the vendor advises recommissioning of this example before use. However, it will be started before the sale and a fitted top box and panniers will be included. The history file includes an original BMW Riders Manual and Maintenance instruction book, alarm instructions, old MOTs, sundry invoices, fobs etc. in addition to a maintenance manual. An excellent opportunity to acquire a realistically priced example of the highly respected touring version of BMWs legendary boxer twin.
