BMW revitalised their image with the introduction of the R90S in 1973. Comparable to many of its rivals, it retained the stamina that had characterised the company's products to that point. Not content to rest on their laurels the BMW engineers set about developing a new range of machines with an enlarged "Boxer" engine displacing 980cc. The new range was announced in 1976, The RS was accompanied by the R1007 and the R100S, featuring styling similar to that of the R90S. The "S" was said to offer 65bhp at 6, 800rpm with cast alloy wheels were adopted across the range.
The BMW on offer is mostly original and comes from a deceased estate. First registered in May of 1978, we have been advised that it is running well. Presenting in its striking 1970s fairing and Gold paint scheme, it is complete with its panniers. There is a current V5C on file with some paperwork, a service and repair manual, owner's workshop manual, old invoices, and a declaration of exemption from both VED and MOT.
