The BMW R100RS has established itself as one of the best classic touring bikes ever made. Here’s one that stands out in the states because it’s a Euro model that was originally sold in Bahrain. The original owner brought the bike with him as he moved to England and then Phoenix, Arizona. Now it’s with a new owner who’s had the bike for 5 years in San Diego – it’s ready for a new owner and comes complete with a period BMW suit and helmet!
So, you ask, what’s the difference with the Euro model? Well, it has both a kickstarter and a magic button, speedo in kilometers, independent control of the running lights, and exhaust heat shields. The full leather BMW seat plus first gen Schuberth flip-up are just icing on this quirky moto cake. This bike (VIN: 6395960) has 21,000 miles, and the seller says it runs great. The only non-stock piece is an upgraded Thunderchild solid state diode board.
