BMW R100 RT Mono (1993-1994) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R100 RT Mono was one of the many versions of the base R100 model created by the House of Munich. It was a liter-class touring-oriented motorcycle that delivered comfortability and superior agility. In addition, as its name suggests, it was fitted with a BMW Motorrad Paralever system on the rear.

Besides the BMW R100 RT Mono, the standard R100 model was available in several versions with different characteristics and designations, such as the R100 T, S, CS, RS, RS Classic, RT Classic, TIC, TC, R, and GS.

In 1993, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R100 RT Mono, a touring motorcycle with the same package as the previous model, offering the same technical, performance, and visual characteristics without changes.

As for the standard features, the bike's appearance was characterized by a half fairing with a round headlight, a windscreen for better protection against elements, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted panniers, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and eight-spoke aluminum wheels.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a telescopic fork with a hydraulic shock absorber on the front that offered 200 mm of travel and a single-sided swingarm with a single shock absorber on the rear that provided 125 mm of travel.

As for power, the 1993 BMW R100 RT Mono had its soul brought to life by a 980cc four-stroke air-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine, boasting 60 hp with maximum peak at 7,000 rpm and 75 Nm (55 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
