For Sale: 1977 BMW Motorcycle in Rowley, Massachusetts for sale in Rowley, MA
Vehicle Description Even back in the seventies BMW was battling the idea its bikes were just for old men.
So, in 1977 it signed up professional stylist Hans Muth to create the ultimate sports tourer.
The result was the R100RS.
The fact that the R100RS remains one of the most practical long-distance mounts to this day is testament to the brilliance of Muth's wind-tunnel-designed, nine-piece, frame-mounted fairing that transforms the underpowered boxer engine and conservative chassis into a serious touring package.
The top speed of around 125mph was impressive, but it's the ability of the R100RS to maintain a 100mph cruising speed for hours on end that makes it a true classic.
