980 cc · 70 hp · 2 cyl.
The BMW R 100 CS is the sporting, half-faired version of BMW's air-cooled 980 cc two-cylinder boxer. Built from 1980 through 1984, it combines the 51 kW classic airhead with shaft drive and a small cockpit fairing. It is not an R 100 S, RS, RT or the earlier R 100 T: the model designation and original fairing matter more than displacement alone.
A good CS feels mechanically calm and direct, but age and maintenance matter more than mileage. When buying, inspect the valve train, carburettors, clutch and final drive, along with the frame, brakes and condition of the specific fairing parts. Always compare year, output and trim with registration, frame number and the individual motorcycle; many examples have been modified over time.
Verify that it is truly an R 100 CS by its designation, year and original small cockpit fairing; do not confuse it with an R 100 S, RS, RT or T.
From cold, listen for excessive valve-train or timing noise and inspect for oil leaks around heads, rocker covers and crankcase.
Check carburettors, throttle cables and inlet rubbers for clean response, leakage and a stable idle.
Test clutch, gearbox, shaft and final drive for slip, shift issues, play or oil leaks.
Inspect brakes, forks, frame, steering stops and the CS-specific fairing and mounts for damage, corrosion or non-original repairs.
