BMW R100 GS (1992-1993) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R100 GS was a dual-sports machine produced by BMW from 1987 to 1994. It was one of the world's largest and fastest all-road bikes of the time, performing well on paved roads but not as well off the road.

In 1992, the German motorcycle maker introduced the BMW R100 GS, a dual-sports motorcycle, in its sixth consecutive production year. It came with the same specifications as previous models without any modifications.

The 1992 BMW R100 GS had its soul brought to life by a 980cc four-stroke air-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 60 hp with a peak force at 6,500 rpm and 76 Nm (56 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

The bike's riding experience was handled by a telescopic fork on the front that provided 225 mm of travel and an adjustable paralever rear suspension with 180 mm of travel, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the braking power, the motorcycle packed a 285 mm brake disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 200 mm drum braking unit mounted on the rear, offering optimum stopping power.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard fittings, like a high-mounted front fender, a small front cowl with a wind deflector, a round headlight, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a luggage rack, a center stand, and wire-spoke wheels.
