1981 BMW R-Series

Description

I purchased this 1981 BMW R100 RT from a gentleman who had been storing it in his barn for years. It was running great when I got it - less than 9k miles on it. During the rebuild, I wanted to get the cafe / bobber aesthetic and modern wiring while keeping the classic R-bike vibe that turns heads.
The bike was professionally inspected and tuned after rebuild was complete and has been ridden less than 50 miles since.
1981 BMW R100 RT, 5 speed transmission, electric start, 19" front tire, 18" rear tire, 980 cc boxer engine
Electrical:
Motogadget M-unit is the brains of this bike. I eliminated the old bulky factory wire harness, fuses, and relays to utilize Motogadget’s M-Unit. This allows the operator to add on electrical devices, such as, hand grip warmers, cellphone charger, etc with ease. This device is fitted under the tank to be invisible to onlookers. The device has all of the necessary fuses and relays built in and runs on a modern lithium battery that is compact and hidden under the engine.
