The appeal
The R100 GS was launched as a transitional bike from BMW, taking its offerings away from the mad and brutal R80 G/S type bikes which are regarded as being dirt bikes on steroids, to something more familiar to the modern-day adventure bikes.
With More power, more comfort and more weight the R100GS was designed for long, hard miles. Powered by an air-cooled flat twin boxer engine with 980cc and around 60 BHP, the R100GS was lovingly referred to as the ‘Airhead’ by owners and adventure fans.

This bike was purchased by the current owner in 2021, kept in a barn when not in use and repaired when needed. It was purchased from a friend of the current owner who kept the bike in good condition.
The history and paperwork
- Current V5
- Current owner’s purchase invoice
- Old MOTs
- Various invoices for work done and parts
The BMW comes with the current V5 and the original purchase receipt as well as some invoices for parts and work done. These are summarised below,
- Front high mudguard
- Miscellaneous gaskets and bolts
- Stainless steel magnetic drain/filler plug, carb rubber and UJ bolts
- Diode board and regulator, alternator rotor
- Brake upgrade kit, pads and bearings
The owner, being an engineer and metal fabricator would have completed much of the work to the bike themselves with receipts mainly for parts. Most of the parts have come from renowned company ‘Motorworks’.
The Exterior
- Good condition paint
- Body fairings in good shape
- Side and centre stand present
- Good tyres with plenty of tread
- Seat fabric free from rips or excessive wear and tear
The GS100R is a handsome, classic looking bike with lots of retro charm and on the external aesthetics front it is in fine condition.
The body fairings and paint are in good condition, the plastic trim pieces are in good shape and have not faded, the exhaust looks to be corrosion free and the frame is in good condition also.
The white wheels add a pleasing contrast to the black body colour with the silver metallic of the exhaust providing a nice highlight.
The seat is in good condition with the covering fabric not being ripped, torn or having any excessive wear.
The dials and gauge cluster look to be in good condition and the electrics are all reported to be working.

The Mechanics
- Exterior condition of engine is good with no visible leaks
- Transmission all reported to be working as intended
- Brake upgrade kit is included in sale
The bike ran and drove when the owner acquired the bike, and it is far below the mileage that some of the components are reported to begin experiencing issues.
The bike currently does not run as it is experiencing an issue with sparking. The bike turns over and cranks but does not fire due to not having a spark. This might be an easy fix to someone in the know but we cannot unfortunately offer any expert advice as to what the issue might be.

The bike did however move freely and the suspension, shaft and brakes all looked to be in good condition visually.
Summary
This is a nice example of a bike that sparked a new genre of two wheeled adventure focused machinery. This bike has a small focused following of adoring fans and it’s not hard to see why, with a little mechanical know how, and a small amount of elbow grease, this bike could be back to dominating any terrain.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
