The bike we feature today is offered at no reserve until Tuesday, June 1. At the time of this article, you’d need just over 2,500 bucks to get your hands on this machine, which is a mildly modified 1978 BMW R100/7. It features an enormous aftermarket fairing at the front, a Dyna electronic ignition setup, a fresh battery, and a refurbished brake master cylinder.
This Beemer’s five-digit odometer tells us that it’s been ridden for approximately 28,000 miles (45,000 km). In case you’re not familiar with the Bavarian’s main specs and features, we’ll gladly bring you up to speed. Motorrad’s ‘78MY R100/7 houses an air-cooled 980cc boxer-twin powerplant within its steel duplex cradle framework.
At 6,500 rpm, the engine is good for up to 60 ponies, while a peak torque output figure of 54 pound-feet (74 Nm) is accomplished when the tachometer hits 4,000 spins per minute. The force is handed over to a shaft final drive via a five-speed transmission, allowing the R100/7 to accelerate from zero to 62 mph (0-100 kph) in 5.1 seconds.
Additionally, its top speed is rated at a respectable 116 mph (188 kph). The stopping power is summoned by a single 260-mm (10.2-inch) brake rotor at the front and a 200-mm (7.9-inch) drum module on the other end. The entire structure is supported by a pair of telescopic forks and dual adjustable shocks.
We’d encourage you to visit Bring a Trailer for a thorough examination of this spotless two-wheeler.
