BMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines and produced their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. Whilst the basic engine layout is nearly 100 years old, constant improvements have kept it at the forefront of motorcycle design and together with some avant garde suspension concepts BMW Boxers are still amongst the most desirable and best selling bikes in the world today. The R1150R was launched in 2002 giving riders an 85 BHP fuel injected 4 valve engine together with BMWs unique Paralever rear suspension and drive, Telelever front forks all stopped with ABS brakes.

This very original, excellent condition low mileage 1150R was bought by the vendor from Bristol Motorrad in 2005 as a pre registered bike that had been kept in its crate until sale. Initially being used for about 2700 miles it was then displayed in a living room for a number of years as part of a small private collection, not run for a while it will need some recommissioning. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
