NO RESERVEI NOW HAVE IT AT ARIDICULOUSSTARTING PRICEI WILL KEEP IT IF IT DOESN'T SELL- THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ITI WOULD SIMPLY LIKE TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL GARAGE SPACE FOR ANOTHER PROJECT.
This isa lot of bike for the money.It is in exceptional condition for its age and runs excellent.
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 (as told by a BMW dealer) 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:

UGLYThe seat has a small tear that has been repairedThe rear seat hinge is broke where it connects to the seatI have listed in detail everything I know about the bike to help you evaluate if this bike is for you. I am brutally honest and I am also very picky.Iassure you this isa veryaccurate and thorough description. You will have NO surprises.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 would be happy to do a "FaceTime" to help you make your decision.I have a video of starting the bike and doing a walk around so you can hear it run. Link below.
