The BMW R1100 S, produced from 1999 to 2005, was a sporty and powerful motorcycle that marked a significant departure from BMW's traditional touring bike designs. It was the first in a line of "S" models that aimed to capture the performance-oriented rider, combining the brand's renowned Boxer engine with a more aggressive chassis and styling. The R1100 S featured a liquid-cooled, 1,085cc, air-cooled, horizontally-opposed "Boxer" twin-cylinder engine that produced 98 horsepower. This engine, known for its smooth power delivery and distinctive sound, was paired with a five-speed gearbox and shaft drive. The bike's unique tubular steel frame and single-sided swingarm contributed to its sporty handling, while the 43mm upside-down fork and rear monoshock provided a comfortable and responsive ride. The R1100 S was also lauded for its modern styling, featuring aggressive lines, a low-slung profile, and a distinctive dual headlight setup. Despite its sporty focus, the R1100 S remained true to BMW's emphasis on comfort and practicality. The bike included features like adjustable handlebars and footpegs, offering riders a customizable riding position. The R1100 S was also equipped with a comprehensive instrument panel, including a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and clock. The bike's design was heavily influenced by the earlier R1100 RS, but the R1100 S was more focused on performance. Features like the single-sided swingarm, the upside-down fork, and the lighter weight allowed the R1100 S to handle even more aggressively, making it a capable machine for both touring and sport riding. Though production ended in 2005, the R1100 S remains a sought-after classic for enthusiasts, appreciated for its unique blend of performance, comfort, and timeless design.
