Basic information and history

BMW R 1100 R from model year 1999 belongs to the so-called oilhead era with the air/oil-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine, fuel injection and a five-speed gearbox. The model is one of BMW’s classic naked roadsters and combines a Telelever front end and Paralever rear with shaft drive, a design that reduces dive under braking and counteracts shaft-jacking from the drivetrain. The balanced chassis geometry and the boxer’s character make the R1100R a well-known long-distance partner and a reliable everyday machine.

This Sweden-sold example with a single owner from new is a 1999 BMW R 1100 R R1100R with a stated and guaranteed odometer reading of 122,000 kilometers. According to the seller, it was kept alongside a later BMW R1200R after a favorable trade-in offer, but use has ceased for physical reasons.
