Overdue update on 1993 BMW R100GS PD purchase

[Tom]

I forgot to give you guys on the R100 GS purchase.  Turns out it is a Paris Dakar model.  Red/White in oem trim w/rack & panniers.  Solo red seat.

I bought it from one of Sasquatch Jim's friends in Kapaau, Hawaii.  Northside of the Big Island (Kohala District) approx. 60 north of me.  When I got there, he had a buyer picking up the R90/6 that he modified to be a R90S clone.  If it was unmolested, I would have bought that instead.

I did notice in his barn a '60 era Triumph and BSA.  Both looked like 650 twins.  I didn't ask.  He was selling his excess BMW bikes.  The last one for sale was his R75 Toaster tank.  He didn't mind keeping that.

The PD that I bought had 57K miles on it.  Turns out that I'm the 3rd owner.  From what I can see of the bike everything works properly.  Wonky auto kickstand.  Never did like them.  Oem Owners manual & tool kit.  From the condition of the bike in oem condition w/aftermarket rear shock, it matches to the mileage on the odometer.  Nothing bashed it.  No scrapes.   

The history of the bike is that it was originally purchase by the 1st owner who had a case of itchy feet.  He used it for cross country touring a number of times then moved Hawaii island.  Used it for his primary transportation.  Eventually leaving for Thailand.

The 2nd owner bought it about 5 years ago and rode it infrequently with the other Beemers.  My guess from his age easier starting than his English bikes.

My assessment of the bike and condition is that it's in good condition for the mileage and age.    Sorry no pix but I'll see what I can do.

Details on the BSA, pleeze.

I only glanced at the 2 English bikes.  Both had drum brakes on the front.

Tom,
I picked up a neglected R100 T last year. After a good clean up, replacing many rubber part and carb rebuilding , it’s back on the road. These airheads are fun, reliable machine. The P/D model is a fairly sought after model. IIRC, that should have the 32 mm Bings.

Still riding my 1988 R100RS, bought new in 1989.

Still own my 1991 R100GS (bumblebee.)  Purchased in March 1991.  Either I've gotten shorter or the bike has gotten taller!  At 5'8" the bike has always been s bit tall for me ...... no flat  footing it for me.  She's been a good run .... currently slightly over 164,000 miles.  Just about aged out of this bike.

I'm not a BMW fan, but that's one of the few I'd love to own. It certainly looks the business! It needs to be parked next to a K1 ...
