BMW R1100R (1995-1996) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R1100R was a standard motorcycle produced by BMW from 1994 to replace the BMW R100R and continued production until 1999 when it was replaced by the 2001 BMW R1150R. The model was manufactured in over 53,680 units at BMW's Spandau, Berlin factory.

In 1995, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R1100R, a standard machine in its second production year, featuring the same specifications as the previous one without significant changes.

The 1995 motorcycle impressed Cycle World magazine with its comfortability, versatility, overall quality, and its successful combination of a boxer engine and frame layout, complemented by the latest technology.

The motorcycle's aesthetic department was complemented by standard features, such as a round headlight with a chromed housing, instruments mounted on top of the headlight, a two-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, a two-into-one exhaust system, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike was built around a steel backbone frame with a Telelever suspension system on the front that provided 120 mm of travel and a Paralever suspension system on the rear that offered 135 mm of travel.

As for power, the 1995 BMW R1100R took its muscles from a 1,085cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled boxer engine. The powerhouse was managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 80 hp at 6,750 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 5,250 rpm.
