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. In 1980 they launched the R80G/ S, the initials standing for Gelande (Off-road) and Strasse (Street) becoming the first large capacity multi-purpose bike and at a stroke creating the now popular 'Adventure Bike' market. The bike went on to dominate the Paris Dakar rally in the 80s and in its latest incarnation is one of the best selling bikes in Europe.
This R100GS is presented in good original condition showing a credible 34, 800 miles on its speedo. It comes fitted with lots of nice extras including a full pannier/ top box framework, heated grips, sat nav, Puig touring screen, engine protection bars, spot lights, BMW tacho, BMW clock and even its original tool kit. Not as complicated as the latest GS models, this earlier lighter-weight version will make a very useable bike in modern-day road conditions that's still appreciating in value. It comes supplied with a current V5C and is MOT'd until 02-10-24.
