1983 BMW 100RS Motorcycle Highlights: No Reserve Has Keys & Title 980cc Boxer 2 Nicely Preserved Fox Shocks 5-Speed Manual Description: 1983 BMW 100RS Motorcycle  NO RESERVE HAS KEYS HAS TITLE For auction, a 1983 BMW 100RS motorcycle showing 10,991 miles, but the true miles are unknown. According to our consignor, that's 110,991 but that number could not be verified either. It has been well maintained and presents in very nice external condition, but as this bike just came out of long term storage, it will need some going through before you hit the road. Exterior Polaris Graphite colors the aerodynamic panels of this early sport touring bike, including the windswept fairing that cascades down to guide the air around the rider's legs. The gas tank and rear apron are also gray and both the BMW logo, and it's under a parcel rack in back. Front amber marker lights are flush embedded in the fairing while the rears cap the end of stalks to either side of the tail light. A multi spoke 19-inch wheel resides in front with an 18-inch unit in back and chrome exhaust is mounted at an upward angle. The steeply angled windscreen is flanked by sport style mirrors in black which matches the color of the front forks, rear shocks, and rear fender. The seat is also black with stitch patterns in the grain vinyl. We note a scuff and some missing paint on the fairing near the headlight and a scuff on the gas tank.  Functionality Ignition, ammeter and analog clock are mounted on the fairing while a speedometer and adjacent tachometer flank indicator lights which contour to the circular edges of the gauges. The sport bike handlebar brings grips in tight and each is accompanied by thumb controls with different colors and shapes. Our rubber grips show some fading but are in great shape. Foot pegs are provided to rider and passenger.   Drivetrain The bike is equipped with a 980cc boxer 2 engine that produces 70 horsepower and is fueled by two Bing 1-barrel carburetors. The transmission is a shaft drive 5-speed manual and brakes are on board as front disc and rear drum. Suspension is home to the only modification on the bike, Fox shocks with a telescopic fork in front and long swing arms with adjustable struts behind. Dual exhaust travels close to the bike and helps retain an aerodynamic profile.  Well loved, this remains a stunning, streamlined bike with the iconic marque and while there's some slight patina throughout, it is in excellent condition for its age and a great addition to a BMW collection, general bike collection, or as your first go around with a BMW RS!
