I had the same model except it was an R100RT. I did not like it, Sam I am. Any Guzzi of that era would out handle it hands down. Followed rain grooves, and cross winds would blow it around. A lot. Besides that, as Pete says, it sounds like a Parson farting in a bathtub. Chuck, DeaconChurch of GuzziChuck - now that is funny as hell......<Mark
I have never given this range of BMW much thought or appreciation since I am so Guzzi-centric, but this is a fine looking bike! One I would certainly be proud to own and I would appreciate any first hand impressions about the bike. 1983 R100 with original paint. From ADV forum - Old's Cool
Yeah, stock the handling left a lot to be desired. My ‘83 RT got a fork brace, machined top triple clamp and progressive fork springs. Binned the Nivomats for Konis. Helped a lot. Engine was dual plugged, CR raised to 9.5/1, sport cam, 40 mm exhaust. Raised RWHP from 47 to 62. It would match K100s to around 80. Sold it with 220k miles on the ODO. Fine two up touring bike.Would have preferred an SP1000 but those wouldn’t fit two as well.
Dave, What is the outcome, did you add this to your collection? If so, I’d like to hear your assessment report and pics.
I agree. The one you posted has very clean, simple and tasteful lines
I won't argue that they are easy on the eyes.. that is what trolled me in. Pfffft. Gimme a Guzzi.

BIL had a '79 R100RS that had all the stuff done up like that. Solo seat and orange and white Motorsport paint scheme, too. Competent sport tourer and highway flyer. Too bad they needed so many aftermarket mods to get that level. Larry
