BMW R1100R

The BMW R 1100 R is a standard motorcycle with a 1,085 cc air/oil-cooled flat twin engine, made by BMW Motorrad from 1994 through 1999. All 53,685 units were made at BMW's Spandau factory in Berlin, and the R 1100 R was succeeded by the model year 2001 R 1150 R. Its chassis and engine are identical to the R1100GS, while the front brake comes from the R 1100 RS. The 10.3:1 compression boxer twin was rated at 59 kW (79 hp) in the German market, or 57 kW (76 hp) with a restricted air filter for insurance purposes, and the bike used 5.6 L/100 km at 120 km/h from a 21 L tank, with antilock brakes optional. Ulf Böhringer of the Süddeutsche Zeitung reviewed it favourably, and Cycle World praised the 1995 model's comfort, versatility and overall quality while noting the fussiness of its controls.
