  1. Years1987–1995

    R 100 RT Monolever (1987-1995)

    Generation

    The later R 100 RT gained the Monolever rear swingarm and refined touring equipment while retaining the familiar air-cooled boxer and protective RT fairing. It is a strong classic for travellers wanting simple mechanics; shaft drive, brakes and fairing electrics still need diligent upkeep.

    R 100 RT eerste serie (1978-1984)

    Generation

    The first R 100 RT is BMW's classic full-dress tourer with a 979 cc air-cooled boxer, shaft drive and large protective fairing. It was made for long distances in all weather; inspect fairing mounts, brakes, original instruments and carburettor condition.

About this model

About the BMW R 100 RT

The BMW R100RT is a classic German touring motorcycle introduced by BMW Motorrad in 1978, powered by an air-cooled boxer-twin of 980 cc producing around 70 hp. The R100RT is the fully faired touring version of the R100 series and was distinguished by a large integrated fairing and windshield that provided excellent protection on long motorway rides. Shaft drive, the iconic horizontally opposed cylinders and solid construction made the R100RT synonymous with BMW's reputation for reliability. BMW produced the R100RT in two generations: the Monolever version until 1984 and an updated Paralever version until 1995.

The R100RT targets touring riders who want to cover long distances in comfort, without the sporting weight of a Honda Gold Wing, but with the pure riding character of a boxer engine. The upright riding position, excellent wind protection and low centre of gravity make it well suited to multi-day touring. As a used bike it is popular with riders who appreciate the classic BMW tourer. Specialist BMW classics dealers can provide maintenance support.

Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Check the driveshaft for play in the cardan coupling: wear causes an audible clunk on acceleration and deceleration (the so-called 'cardan jerk' on pre-Paralever examples).

  • Inspect the Bing carburettors for correct tuning and condition: 40+ year old carbs are prone to blockages and uneven idle.

  • Check the fairing and windshield condition: original BMW plastic from the 1980s has become brittle and is hard to source as new parts.

  • Verify the steering head bearings and telescopic fork: on higher mileage and neglected examples, steering bearings wear.

  • Watch for oil leaks at the rocker covers: aged gaskets are a standard issue on the R/7-generation BMW.
