BMW R1100S (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R1100S was a sports or sports-touring machine made by BMW from 1998 until 2005, when it was replaced by the BMW R1200S. It was introduced 25 years after BMW's first sports bike, the R90S, and was the first BMW motorcycle that featured a clip-on handlebar, rear set footrests, and a removable passenger seat cover.

In 2000, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R1100S, a sports or sports-touring motorcycle addressed to those riders who wanted an occasional adrenaline rush in a well-behaved package.

The 2000 R100S came in the same shape and form as the previous one, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

Power-wise, the 2000 BMW R1100S had its soul brought to life by a 1,085cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 98 hp at 7,500 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.

The bike's suspension system comprised an adjustable BMW Motorrad Telelever fork on the front with 110 mm of travel and an adjustable Paralever suspension system on the rear with 130 mm of travel.

As for the stopping power, the bike relied on two 320 mm rotors on the front and a single 276 mm rotor on the rear. The front ones were engaged by four-piston calipers, while the rear one was handled by a dual-piston caliper.
