The BMW R1100RS was produced to be a sports touring motorcycle that was manufactured by BMW Motorrad between 1993 and 2001 and was the first BMW motorcycle to use the R259 'oil-head' boxer engine. The BMW R1100RS was a frameless design, using the engine as a stressed member, an approach used by BMW for all subsequent oil-heads (except the R1100S). BMW's used its own Telelever suspension which bolted directly to the engine. The Telelever design has a superficially similar appearance to telescopic forks, but braking forces are taken back horizontally, minimising "fork dive".

The BMW R1100RS was purchased by the current vendor as he needed a machine to go touring on and for work purposes. It has given him great pleasure in his ownership until it was no longer needed. It has not been used in the last couple of years but has been kept running in that time. The BMW comes complete with a V5C, its original panniers and the top box.
