BMW R100 GS (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R100 GS was a dual-sports motorcycle that debuted in 1987 as one of the world's largest and fastest machines at the time. Also, the bike performed well on paved roads but had limited off-road capabilities.

In 1994, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R100 GS, an all-road motorcycle in its eighth consecutive production year, wearing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model without any changes.

The 1994 BMW R100 GS was powered 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 motorcycle was built around a double-loop tubular steel frame with a telescopic fork on the front that offered 225 mm of travel and an adjustable paralever rear suspension system with 180 mm of travel, providing optimum suspension performance and handling.

The braking power was achieved by a 285 mm brake disc engaged by a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 200 mm drum braking unit mounted on the rear, offering optimum stopping power.

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