Beschreibung
BMW R100GS, UK model, registered May 1991, in Marrakesh Red. Showing 5000 miles but had a new speedo at 37115, so now about 42000. Otherwise unrestored and an impressive survivor bike.
Two owners (both BMW enthusiasts) since 1998. There is a regular maintenance history in this period, by CW Motorcycles in Dorchester and Defazio, Frome, including a brand new gearbox at 36259. Since I have had the bike I have done the annual servicing. I have fitted lowered pegs from Siebenrock, with a Migsel gearchange lever. She has a pair of original panniers and a recent pair of Metzeler Tourance tyres. The front cast disc pulls her up nicely and the Y-piece mid-exhaust gives a pleasing grunt.
Overall she presents very well and turns heads. I’ve toured France and camped a few times and found her very reliable. As a 1991 bike, she has age-related marks which can be appreciated on viewing.
