1978 BMW R100S

Thanks to the factory luggage and multiple tank bags, this R100S would be a great option for someone looking for a classic touring bike with some pep.

BMW built a series of bikes around the 980cc boxer twin. In the “S” configuration, which features a small front fairing, the motor was good for 66 horsepower. For more on the R100S, check out this reprint of a May 1977 Cycle Magazine Road Test (hosted on webBikeWorld.) This example was built in 12/77 and it’s a matching numbers bike with both period and modern upgrades. The odometer shows about 46,000 miles.

Find this R100S for sale in Encinitas, California for $6,500 here on Craigslist.
