One of the most popular BMWs first appeared in 1980. This was the enduro-style 'G/S', which debuted as the 800cc R80G/S. The latter featured a 21" front wheel, raised front mudguard, and a new single-sided swinging arm at the rear. In 1988 the range expanded to include the R100G/S. Fitted with the 980cc engine, the R100G/S was in many ways a new design, featuring long-travel Marzocchi front forks and BMW's own double-jointed, 'Paralever' rear suspension. The R100G/S became the top-selling BMW model in Germany soon after its release, and modern members of the series are equally popular today. This R100GS was registered to the lady vendor's late father in July 1994. Garage stored for many years and serviced/maintained, the BMW was loved and cared for by its owner, who undertook a couple of trips to France on it. The machine is offered with a selection of MOT's, SORN, and a V5C document.
