The BMW R1100R and R1100S, produced from 1993 to 2001, represent a significant chapter in BMW's motorcycle history. These air-cooled, boxer-twin powered machines were known for their robust build, comfortable riding experience, and impressive handling. The R1100R, the standard model, offered a versatile platform for everyday touring and commuting, while the R1100S was a sportier version with upgraded suspension, a racier fairing, and a higher power output. Both bikes featured a 1085cc air-cooled boxer engine delivering around 90 horsepower, coupled with a five-speed gearbox and shaft drive.
The R1100 series introduced several significant innovations. Notably, the bikes were equipped with BMW's Telelever front suspension, a unique system that provided improved handling and reduced dive under braking. The rear suspension featured a Paralever system, which combined a single-sided swingarm with a shaft drive, offering excellent stability and ease of maintenance. These models also featured a range of other features, including an electronic ignition system, a digital instrument cluster, and optional ABS. The R1100R and R1100S became popular choices for riders seeking a comfortable and capable machine with a distinctive character, establishing a strong reputation for dependability and long-term ownership satisfaction.
