In 1994, at the International Bicycle and Motorcycle Show (IFMA), BMW launched the third version of the new four-valve boxer generation R1100R model as a successor to the R1100GS presented in 1993.

The bike received the engine and the raised exhaust from the BMW R1100GS, which were installed in the chassis that belonged to the BMW R 1100 RS and used appropriate road tires.

The front visual aspect was dominated by the floating round headlight, an individual instrument cockpit with a central speedometer, a rounded sheet steel fuel tank, and a narrow seat bench.

To complete the naked bike look, BMW engineers divided the oil cooler into two smaller oil coolers attached to the left and right above the cylinders.

The 1994 BMW R1100R, with the 1,085cc flat-twin engine, generated 80 hp with a peak at 6,750 rpm and 98 NM (72 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,250 rpm and with a curb weight of 235 kg (518 lbs), the bike registered a top speed of 197 kph (121 mph).

The powerful naked bike came with standard features such as a dual seat, pillion grab rails, die-cast aluminum wheels, dual 305 mm front disc brakes, a single 276 mm disc brake on the rear, a suspension package composed of a BMW Motorrad Telelever front suspension, and a Paralever rear suspension unit, an analog instrument cluster, and a high-mounted exhaust system.

In 1993, six months after the R1100RS presentation, BMW presented the R1100GS version of the four-valve boxer series. The bike was planned to replace the successful and popular R100GS model.

In 1994, BMW launched the R1100GS, the first Enduro motorcycle that featured a four-valve boxer engine with benchmarks set by being the fastest Enduro motorcycle on the market with the biggest capacity and the biggest power output.

Another first for the model was the fully controlled three-way catalytic converter and the ABS that could have been deactivated in off-road conditions. According to the modular principle, the innovative Telelever front suspension, combined with the Paralever rear suspension, made its way to the GS model.

The fastest Enduro motorcycle on the market at the time took its trust from the 1085cc flat-twin engine with a power output of 80 hp at 6,750 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,250 rpm. In conjunction with a five-speed manual transmission and a curb weight of 243 kg (536 lbs), the bike reached a top speed of 195 kph (120 mph).

In addition, the 1994 BMW R1100GS Enduro motorcycle came with standard features such as laced wheels, a dual seat, a small luggage rack, pillion grab handles, a small windscreen, a high-mounted exhaust system, a center stand, and a front mudguard.

In 1995, after the RS, GS, and Roadster models, BMW fulfilled the RT community for new technology with the launch of the R 1100 RT tourer motorcycle.

The 1995 BMW R 1100 RT, powered by the same engine as the RS, featured a modular system for the chassis with the Telelever and Paralever suspension package.

The fairing design featured the BMW Motorrad aerodynamic experience combined with practical functionality and excellent long-distance comfort. The three-way height-adjustable seat, the adjustable windscreen, and the wind and weather protection of the fairing significantly increased driving comfort.

To top it off, the model had a special duct in the fairing that redirected warm exhaust air from the engine to the hand which increased, even more, the riding comfort on cold days. With a relatively low curb weight of 282 kg (622 lbs) and a top speed of 196 kph (120 mph), the RT tourer was raised to a new level in the touring segment with good driving characteristics and performance.

In terms of power, the RT’s heartbeat was set by a 1085cc flat-twin engine with a power output of 90 hp with a peak at 7,250 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,500 rpm.

The bike came with standard features such as dual 305 mm front disc brakes coupled to a single 276 mm disc on the rear, a steel frame, a full fairing, an adjustable windshield, side panniers, a rear luggage rack, a dual seat, die-cast aluminum wheels, and an analog and digital instrument cluster.

Following the K100 series presented in 1983 and the K75 from 1985, it seemed that the time for the big boxers ended. When BMW eliminated the 1000cc two-valve versions in 1984, they practically confirmed the extinction of the big boxers.

But BMW Motorrad remained true to the traditional BMW engine and tried to develop the boxer engine to fit, at the time, in the modern world.

In 1993, with the release of the R1100RS, BMW jumped a few steps further with the completely redeveloped 1,100cc air-cooled twin-cylinder engine that featured a four-valve technology, air/oil cooling, and advanced digital injection technology.

Compared to the 1,000cc previous engine, the new unit developed 50 percent more power and lower fuel consumption.

The 1993 BMW R1100RS featured an innovation with the Telelever front suspension, a high level of damping comfort and braking stability, and the well-known Paralever swingarm.

The 1100cc air/oil-cooled engine was integrated into the chassis as a supporting element and gave a power output of 90 hp at 7,250 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,500 rpm. The engine power, combined with the curb weight of 239 kg (527 lbs), pushed the bike to a top speed of 215 kph (131 mph).

As standard features, the bike came with die-cast aluminum wheels, an adjustable windscreen, a dual seat, a small luggage rack, pillion grab handles, an analog instrument cluster, and a center stand.
