Description
For enthusiasts and connoisseurs:
BMW R100GS from 1987 in white (rarer than the Bumblebee)
83, 000 km not guaranteed
COLLECTION registration document
Slightly less prestigious than its predecessors the R80G/ S and R80GS, it represents a genuine improvement whilst preserving the overall spirit: STILL the 21" front wheel, enduro mudguard, lightweight design – NEW the cross-spoked rims and Paralever, references that remain current today, plus increased torque and power which are most welcome.
Magnificent condition, perfect working order
Completely overhauled recently, it's technically spot on:
• Engine tuning, valve and carburettor settings
• Steering bearings
• Fluids and filters in order – engine, gearbox, rear axle
• Iridium spark plugs
• Quick-release fuel hose connectors for easy tank removal
• Fuel taps completely refurbished (cleaning + seals)
• Engine sump spacer (+1. 3l) BAYER
• Oil gauge with thermometer
• STAHLBUS quick-release drain plug
• BAYER big brake kit: aluminium offset and larger disc + aviation hose
• Original calliper completely restored + STAHLBUS bleeders for quick bleeding (non-return valve)
• ÖHLINS rear shock with preload adjustment (remote adjuster) and rebound – black spring
• Fork cleaned, seals replaced, WILBERS progressive spring kit + anti-friction oil
• Aluminium engine guard Paris Dakar style on new silent blocks
• Single-seat kit with large Paris Dakar-style top box (original dual seat available)
• Original Krauser panniers
• Custom-made ERMAX tall screen
• Continental TKC 70 Rock tyres
As for aesthetics, a few images… many more available on request.
You'll have gathered that this bike is top-notch for anyone wanting to ride authentic vintage: a real treat! Travel simply
Other advantages: reduced insurance, speed suited to limits, very reasonable fuel consumption (6 l/ 100km)
It had to have one small flaw: the right fuel tap leak caused a bit of paint blistering… I didn't have it resprayed but I've eradicated it, done a touch-up job and the varnish has yellowed a bit… not great but no corrosion and you'd have to look closely to notice it…
