BMW R-Series description
1986
BMW R100RS Sport Custom, Yellow-Black. Frame and body canary yellow
with satin black highlights; VERY SHARP and SPORTY. Dual Plugs, big
valve heads, 336 Sport Cam, Koni Monoshock, EBC Floating Discs, fresh
10K Service. Numerous custom touches.
There are less than 3700 miles on this Sporty BMW R100RS since the Custom
Sport rebuild. It has a BMW Factory 336 Sport cam, Dual Plugs, big valve
heads, and 40mm Carbs. The brakes have been upgraded with EBC Floating
Rotors, and braided stainless brake lines for much more positive
braking. The very rare Koni rear Monoshock gives a superlative ride with
precise control. The exhaust system is stainless steel, for long life.
Tires are excellent, the battery is new.
The moderate and dependable sport motor build gives you GREAT throttle
response and eliminates the need to downshift in most passing
situations. The motor will pull top gear well into redline, without
excessive vibration. The combination of the later Nykasil 1000cc
cylinders (known for long life), matched with the late ’70 big valve
heads and the big 40mm Bing carbs, give you a great top end (nearly
double the speed limit). The 336 Sport Cam adds in a very torque filled
midrange and progressively more horsepower as you run the RPM up. You
get all this without sacrificing a reasonable mileage range of between
35 MPG when blasting it full throttle, and 47 MPG when cruising at legal
speeds. This bike is seriously fun to ride!
The R100RS BMW was the first motorcycle ever built with a wind tunnel
designed fairing. The riding position is “Euro Sport”; a relaxed slight
forward lean without the much more cramped and radical American
Sportbike riding position. The fairing fully protects the rider from
wind and rain, except for the rider’s toes.! Additionally, the fairing
design makes the bike much more stable at higher speeds than a naked
bike or a bike with a touring fairing.
Due to the time since the initial build, we performed a full 10K
Service. We found noticeable wear on the steering neck bearings (too
easy to lift the wheel under power), so we installed new ones again. The
bike was ridden for about a year after the initial build, and then was
garaged for several years, so we rebuilt the carbs too, and cleaned out
and relined the fuel tank with POR15 (the best fuel tank liner we have
found).
This beautiful bike is very striking, and will draw interest wherever
you park it. The bright yellow paint can be seen by other drivers much
further than most BMW paint jobs. The bold graphics accentuate the lines
and let people know that this is not your father’s BMW!

Michael Dunlop to Race for BMW at 2014 Isle of Man TT
Wed, 12 Feb 2014BMW Motorrad UK has signed seven-time winner Michael Dunlop to race in the 2014 Isle of Man TT and other international road races. Dunlop will be the first factory-backed BMW rider in 50 years, and will try to be the first rider to win a TT race on a BMW since Georg Meier won in 1939 on a RS 255 Kompressor. Dunlop, nephew of the great Joey Dunlop, was the star of the 2013 Isle of Man TT, winning four races and finishing second in the Senior TT on Honda machines.
The BMW-Powered Recumbent Motorcycle
Wed, 24 Jul 2013As a lover of two wheels, I like to pedal my bicycle to stay in shape when I’m not riding a motorcycle. And in the bicycle world, much like the motorcycle world, there’s a subset of riders who often get snarky looks from the rest of us. Few are more polarizing than those riding recumbent bicycles you know, the ones where you’re practically laying down while pedaling.
BMW Standardizes Switches
Thu, 23 Oct 2008Whenever you throw your leg over a bike that isnt your own, there is always a few minutes needed to become familiar with the proportions and controls of the foreign machine. Getting a sense of the clutch release point, brake feel, throttle response and riding position may all differ from what you have been accustomed, but they slowly become second nature after enough seat time is logged. One such control that strays from this rule of thumb is the turn signal operation of many BMWs.
