LOWERED OPENING BID- NO RESERVE
1978 R100RS. I believe I am the 3rd owner but do not know the history prior to the person I purchased it from. The frame VIN does fall within the range of MotorSport models but I don't know if this was one originally.It does have the correct black side covers for a MotorSport.
The engine VIN is 6160368 which I believe is a 1977 1000cc big carb engine and runs excellent! In fact it is probably the best running/strongest BMW I have owned. Very fast and smooth. Shifts through gears as it should.It does not show anysigns of abuse or being parked outside in the elements.Gauges are clean and not faded or discolored.
It has been painted all white at some point and the paint is in very good condition. Fairingdoesn't show any signs of previous damage.
Here is the good, he bad, nd the ugly:

I enjoy experiencing different motorcycles as I move through life. Specifically BMW's! I buy them, ake care of any mechanical malfunctions should there be any, ide them, njoy them, ell them, nd do it again.When I sell them I list in detail everything I know about the bike to help you evaluate if this bike is for you and determine what you feel is a fair price. I am brutally honest and I am also very picky, assure youyou will get a varyaccurate description.In the past couple of years I have sold 7 motorcycles (4 were "70's" era BMW's) The buyers have always told me without exception, he bike was better than they expected. This is the way it should be.
Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or if you want pictures of anything specific. I have a video of starting the bike and doing a walk around so you can hear it run. Link below.
