Long before the café resurrection of the past few years, this custom built, one-off, BMW was winning awards and winning over crowds everywhere it went. Fred Zust, then manager of TouringSport, a premier motorcycle dealership in Greenville, SC acquired the bike as a trade-in. The bike was initially a bike that he did not want to take as a trade but eventually warmed up to an idea that it would make a café –racer.There are numerous changes to this bike, they easily go unnoticed without having reference. Once you start to add up all of these significant changes you will see why the bike received a “Best Engineered” award at the Airheads Invitational at the Barber Motorsports Park and “Best of Show” for Cycle Worlds's Rolling Concours at the Honda Hoot.The tired power-plant of the 1978 R100S was transformed by then technician Barry Crowe. The high performance mill received dual plug heads, high compression pistons, lightened flywheel and an updated electronic ignition took the place of the old points and condenser.The engine was then repositioned in the frame, approximately two inches higher and farther forward for better weight distribution and greater cornering clearance. These changes made the oil filter inaccessible so to make maintenance easier, the right downtube was lugged to make it removable. Barry Crowe fabricated a billet aluminum spacer take the place of the additional space created by the move.Additional tubular frame braces tie the steering head to the swingarm pivot. With the addition of the braces the fuel tank required trimming and the tank follows the line of the new braces. Ed Johnson handled the tank modification as well as the the one-off, signed brake fluid reservoir. A frame mounted headlight sourced from an RS compliments the clip-ons. The headlight housing was modified to accept a Drag Specialties tach. The upper aluminum triple clamp was originally a lower triple clamp, where is was turned upside down and took the place of stock flat steel part used to reside. A set of Race Tech cartridge emulators and a CC Products brace improve the performance of the stock fork. A Shendig steering damper helps minimize the headshake. Rounding out the suspension the factory snowflake wheels have been upgraded to dual discs up front and single disk out rear. The wheels have been powdercoated along with the frame.A set of Dunstall replica pipes make this bike sound phenomenal. A custom seat, stitched by local Greenville company Bucket Stitch, compliment the composite Knoscher replica seat with LED taillight. While this spotless example of engineering ingenuity is beautiful enough to put on a pedest

This frame off custom BMW R100 began as a 1978 BMW R80/7 and was designed to maintain the classic styling of pre-war BMW racing motorcycles while having the performance and handling of a more modern machine. To achieve this, the engine has milled heads, higher compression and dual plugging; giving it a bit more power and torque with reliability. The clutch and transmission are completely rebuilt to stock specifications. There is a longer rear drive on the machine to allow for lower revs at highway speeds given the 1,000cc engine. The front forks have been built with Racetech cartridge emulators which provide more predictable, stable handling combined with Hagon rear shocks. It has a midly aggressive riding position with clip on handlabrs but the bike is comfortable for 100 mile runs through the country. Much of the aesthetic was borrowed from the /5 series BMWs, the gas tank, side covers, seat, forks, front drum hub wheel and brake, tail light and turn indicators, knurled /5 polished levers, switch gear controls are from this classic generation and style. The bike has a motogadget instrument (made in germany) and Hoske replica silencers. It has a very deep, throaty sound without being too loud. Gloss black paint and hand pinstriped in BMW off-white on the fenders and gas tank with BMW factory tank knee pads finish off the look of this incredible classic motorcycle. No expense has been spared in the design and construction, full stainless steel hardware even in places you can't see. The look, feel, sound and ride experience of this bike is pretty desirable. The feel is long, low and lean; timeless. This bike was built by Darrell Faulkenberry (Owner of Second Wind) and belongs to one of our staff.

A 1/200 limited edition 1978 r100rs "motorsport" edition with an exceptional 34,xxx miles. It is a beautifully running motorcycle but unfortunately I have no maintenance records on the bike as none could be provided by the dealership I purchased it from and I have not had it long enough to have any performed myself. The paint is original apart from a touch up by the previous owner in the white tank paint. As is only natural, it has 34,xxx miles worth of small dings, chips and tiny cracks in all the usual places on the fairing. All guages and lights work as well as the clock. Tires are nearly brand new. There is a small dent on the tail of the seat (also from the previous owner) but it is in otherwise beautiful shape. I am simply not up to the task of restoring a rare piece of BMW Airhead history that belongs in a museum. Sale includes original white krauser bags and bracket, original full tool kit, original owners manual and original red cable wheel lock hidden under tank/seat. Matching numbers 6183242. Asking a negotiable $9,300. If adding this quite sporty piece of history to your collection peaks your interest don't hesitate to make an offer. I would like to pass it on much sooner rather than later and you may very well be the highest bidder. I can be reached by call or text at six14three07nine129 or email a [email protected]. If you are met with difficulty leaving a voicemail please text or email. I can send more pictures upon serious inquiry.
