Even back in the seventies BMW was battling the idea its bikes were
just for old men. So, in 1977 it signed up professional stylist
Hans Muth to create the ultimate sports tourer. The result was the
R100RS.
The fact that the R100RS remains one of the most practical
long-distance mounts to this day is testament to the brilliance of
Muth's wind-tunnel-designed, nine-piece, frame-mounted fairing that
transforms the underpowered boxer engine and conservative chassis
into a serious touring package.
The top speed of around 125mph was impressive, but it's the ability
of the R100RS to maintain a 100mph cruising speed for hours on end
that makes it a true classic.
