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 (wearing a larger fairing) was accompanied by the naked R1007 and the R100S (small headlight fairing), featuring styling similar to that of the R90S. The "S" and the naked machine, offered 65bhp at 6,800rpm with cast alloy wheels being adopted across the range.

Here is a very well-presented 1981 BMW R100S, which was restored to a good standard a few years ago. It is believed that the previous owner went through the whole machine. Once completed, it was then used on many journeys. The current owner purchased the BMW as it was a very good example and it is a very usable motorcycle that is said to be running very well. Sadly, since purchase, due to business commitments, it has not been used much. There are a host of receipts for parts, work carried out, handbooks and the owner’s manual. It also includes a single seat. The current V5C is on file.
