BMW R1100R Motorcycle

BMW R1100R - 26,073 were manufactured between 1993 to 2001
When BMW released to an utterly confounded public a naked version of its modern Boxer. Some loved its funky styling, some thought it just plain ugly, but it made a distinct impression on everyone. Mechanically solid, enough people liked the R1100R's distinct lines to convince BMW that the only revisions necessary were a new chromed and concise instrument panel and larger headlight.
Unlike its more conservative siblings of this period, the R1100R doesn't hide gadgets. Rather, they are exposed proudly. Oil coolers, the telelever front end and fuel injectors are all on display as part of its post-industrial design esthetic.
On the road it's typical BMW: sure footed and torquey. Although the ergonomics are spread out and comfy, they are aggressive enough to tear up the back roads. The wide seat offers great support, with wind protection being provided by the fitting of a screen. On twisty roads, the R1100R rides exactly as designed. The no-dive telelever front end, excellent brakes, and quick steering geometry make the naked Roadster a confidence inspiring ride. - [From: motorcyclespecs.]
