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 (Offroad) 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 R1100GS has been part of an enthusiast private collection of classic bikes spanning the decades from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he can no longer ride and maintain the bikes so he reluctantly has to let them find new homes. Not used for a number of years, but fired up recently on a jump pack, it has been stored in a dry building but will need a new battery and recommissioning before use. The bike is presented in good original condition and comes fitted with Hagon front and rear shocks, panniers, top box, engine protection bars and spotlights. Not as complicated as the later models, once recommissioned this earlier lighter weight version of the classic GS range will make a very useable bike in modern day road conditions that's still appreciating in value. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
