The BMW R 1100 S, produced from 1999 to 2005, was a groundbreaking sports touring motorcycle that blended the brand's iconic boxer engine with a cutting-edge chassis design. Introduced as a successor to the R 1100 RS, the R 1100 S aimed to deliver a more focused and sporty riding experience, appealing to riders seeking a blend of performance and comfort. This was achieved through a host of upgrades, including a revised, lower-slung frame, a more aerodynamic fairing, and an increase in engine power. The R 1100 S's engine, a 1,085cc air-cooled boxer twin, produced a respectable 98 horsepower, delivering smooth, linear power delivery and a characteristic boxer engine rumble. The motorcycle was praised for its handling prowess, thanks to its lightweight aluminum frame and telescopic forks up front paired with a single-sided swingarm and a Paralever rear suspension.

The R 1100 S offered a comfortable riding experience for both solo and two-up riding, featuring a relaxed seating position and a well-padded seat. The motorcycle was loaded with features, including an adjustable windscreen, a fuel gauge, and a comprehensive instrument cluster. It also offered several optional upgrades, such as ABS, heated grips, and a luggage system, further enhancing its practicality and versatility. While the R 1100 S was praised for its agile handling and comfortable ride, it was not without its criticisms. Some riders found the engine lacking in power compared to its Japanese counterparts, and the lack of a fuel injection system meant it could be difficult to start in cold weather. Nevertheless, the BMW R 1100 S carved a niche for itself as a capable and enjoyable sports touring motorcycle, blending the German brand's heritage with modern design and technology.
