The black and yellow livery of the R100GS earned it the affectionate name of “bumblebee,” and today we’ve got a lovely Euro-spec example (kick starter and larger carbs) up north with lots of upgrades and extras.
34,007 examples of the R100GS were built, with the basic specifications of 60 horsepower (US-spec), 455 pound dry weight, and a 112 mile per hour top speed. For more information on the this legendary generation of the GS, check out this article on Motorcycle Classics.
This example has 50,297 kilometers (31,250 miles) and the list of upgrades is great: tach, clock, heated grips, Brembo 4-piston caliper with larger rotor, oil cooler, Seibenrock full exhaust, rebuilt RT heads (larger valves), ROX bar risers, LED headlight/tail light, Touratech side racks/cases and more.
Beyond that there’s a bunch of extras:
– stock steel muffler plus a 94 stainless muffler
– stock steel exhaust splitter
– original rear shock
– original BMW rear side racks
– Bumble bee stock seat
– stock BMW side cases
– touratech side cases with mounts
– low front fender
– side case cover
– original valve covers
– muffler cover
– extra air filter and valve cover gaskets.
– stock fork springs
The seller is listing this on behalf of an older “computer challenged” friend that he’s known for three decades. The owner is 79 and this GS is getting a bit too big for him, so it’s time for this bike to find a new home (maybe via a fly and ride?). Find this R100GS for sale in British Columbia, Canada for $10,500 here on ADVRider. The first response in the thread is a simple “WOW.” and it’s hard not to agree with that. If you need help with import, the seller is able to help and can get the bike to a broker if it needs to cross the border.
