About this model
About the Bmw R 1100 GS
The BMW R 1100 GS is the first generation of BMW's modern GS series, produced from 1994 to 1999. The 1,085 cc air/oil-cooled twin-cam boxer produces 59 kW (80 hp) via shaft drive. The Telelever front suspension, a BMW patent that separates steering and spring functions, gave the R 1100 GS exceptional handling stability for its era. With standard ABS it was one of the safest adventure motorcycles on the market. The 233 kg weight and high seat height require experience.
The R 1100 GS targets experienced tourers and adventure riders who want to combine motorway riding with light off-road capability. It is not as agile on genuinely difficult terrain as a dedicated enduro, but for European gravel roads and farm tracks it is excellent. Period rivals were the Honda Africa Twin and Yamaha Super Ténéré. A healthy used supply exists with extensive service histories, GS owners typically maintain their machines well.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the Telelever suspension for ball joint wear in the control arm; play is felt as imprecise steering
- Inspect the Paralever shaft drive coupler for play; a loose joint causes a jerk under hard acceleration
- Ask about the ABS module condition; first-generation Bosch ABS is failure-prone with age and cannot easily be replaced
- Check the oil cap seals and drain plug for leaks; the boxer engine has more exposed seal points than an inline motor
- Look for corrosion on aluminium engine components on bikes used through winter or in salty conditions
