It may have been produced nearly three decades ago, but Motorrad’s tourer still looks as young as ever.
Those of you who seek to purchase a used motorcycle should definitely take online auctioning sites into consideration. Not only will you find an abundance of well-kept machines on offer, but you will also hold a fair chance of stumbling upon some genuine bargains.

For instance, the impeccable 1995 BMW R100RT Classic you’re looking at here is currently up for grabs on Bring A Trailer. At this time, the highest bid on this Bavarian is $9,100, and the auctioning period will end on Monday, May 24. The machine received an assortment of fresh goodies under current ownership, such as a state-of-the-art YSS monoshock, modern tires, and new fluids.

Furthermore, its forks and master cylinder have been thoroughly rebuilt to ensure optimal performance, while the engine was subjected to a full service. As if this wasn’t already exciting enough, the Beemer’s five-digit odometer indicates that it’s only been ridden for around 7,000 miles (11,000 km).

To give you a better idea as to what exactly we’re dealing with here, let's take a second to point out the bike’s main specs and features. Within its frame, the ‘95 MY R100RT carries an air-cooled 980cc boxer-twin mill with two valves per cylinder and a compression ratio of 8.45:1.

When the tachometer hits 7,000 spins per minute, this bad boy will be more than happy to deliver as much as 60 hp along with a peak torque output of 55 pound-feet (74 Nm), generated at approximately 6,000 rpm.

A five-speed transmission channels the engine’s force to a shaft final drive, enabling Motorrad’s tourer to run the quarter-mile distance in 13.8 ticks at 95 mph (153 kph). Additionally, its top speed is generously rated at 126 mph (203 kph), which isn’t too bad for a chunky beast that weighs 505 pounds (229 kg) on an empty stomach.
