The BMW R80GS and R100R, produced between 1987 and 1996, represent iconic motorcycles within BMW's long and illustrious history. These models were part of the GS (Gelände/Straße - meaning off-road/road) and R series, respectively, known for their robust build, reliable performance, and versatility. The R80GS, powered by a 797cc air-cooled boxer engine, was designed as a dual-sport machine, capable of tackling challenging off-road terrain as well as cruising along paved roads. It featured a sturdy tubular steel frame, long-travel suspension, and a large 21-inch front wheel for off-road prowess. The R100R, on the other hand, was a more road-oriented machine, powered by a 980cc boxer engine and equipped with a more comfortable riding position and a focus on practicality. Both models were renowned for their distinctive boxer engine, with its unique horizontally opposed cylinders, characteristic sound, and smooth power delivery.
