Look closely, and you’ll see a handful of aftermarket accessories, such as a Corbin saddle and new foot pegs, to name a couple.
When you’re after a competent adventure bike that’ll take you anywhere you please, BMW’s lineup might be the first place you’ll want to look. Although Bavaria’s modern-day machines tend to get quite pricy, there are plenty of budget-friendly specimens to choose from on the second-hand market. For instance, the 1994 MY R100GS presented above is heading to the auction block at this very moment.
Motorrad’s gladiator comes equipped with an air-cooled 980cc boxer-twin mill, featuring dual Bing carbs and a compression ratio of 8.5:1. The four-stroke leviathan is good for up to 60 hp at about 6,500 rpm, while a respectable torque output of 56 pound-feet (76 Nm) will be conjured at 3,750 spins per minute.
A five-speed transmission is tasked with routing the engine’s oomph to the rear hoop via an enclosed driveshaft, resulting in a top speed of 112 mph (181 kph). The powertrain components are embraced by a tubular steel double cradle frame, which sits on telescopic forks and a Paralever suspension module.
Stopping power hails from a single 285 mm (11.2 inches) disc and a twin-piston caliper at the front, along with a 200 mm (7.9 inches) drum brake on the other end. Furthermore, this second-gen R100GS sports an assortment of aftermarket goodies, including an Acerbis front fender, Q-Tech foot pegs, and a curvy solo saddle from Corbin.
The Beemer’s current owner adjusted the ignition timing, valves, and carburetors to keep things running smoothly in preparation for the sale. As a result, this rugged Bavarian will be listed on the BaT (Bring A Trailer) website until October 22, when the online auction will come to an end. At the time of this article, you’d only need a little over five grand to best the top bidder, which sounds like an absolute bargain when you consider just how pristine this creature looks!
