Before BMW took the motorcycling world by storm with the S1000RR, their idea of a sportbike was to put aggressive bodywork around the trusted boxer engine to create the BMW R1100S. I don’t mean to sound demeaning with that, as I owned a R11S for a while and I absolutely adored it – it just wasn’t a real sportbike. On the other hand, it was a wonderful all-around streetbike in the vein of the Honda VFR800. BMW went above and beyond with a couple of limited editions, including the Boxer Cup Replika as featured today. BMW created a spec series to race these bikes, and 300 examples were released as a homage, with Ohlins suspension, a Laser exhaust, and the custom paint with Randy Mamola’s signature.
This specific example is #247 of 300 and has 51,000 miles. The mileage doesn’t bother me, though I’d prefer it was an ABS-equipped model. It does come with some goodies – the OEM saddlebags, Corbin Gunfighter with integrated Smuggler storage compartment, Staintune exhaust, Kosman stabilizer, lowered footpegs, half of the Wunderlich catalog, and R&B Racing headers – for an entertaining 90 second read, check out R&B’s “Eat Shit and Die” page…
