The BMW R100 GS Paris Dakar racer was a multi time winner in the 80's as the Dakar Rally series was in its infancy. A well preserved, fairly unmolested GS PD is a rare find these days, especially one in this wonderful overall and running condition. On our first start, we turned on the fuel taps, pulled open the choke lever halfway, pressed the start button and side to side it rumbled to life, quickly settling right into a proper idle. This one came out of a private Pacific NW collection; it was one of five R100 GS's we were told. It did sit in the collection the last 10 or so years until it was pulled out and handed off the experts at Vallantine Motor Works. Mark and Dana went through the moto top to bottom, they performed a thorough level 2 service. We have been assured this one has no leaks, no issues and can e ridden with confidence. It was then delivered here to SUB, we gave it a got detail and it is ready to go play. Explore the World, this one can still do it! We have the most recent service records but past ones could not be found. We have both factory keys and a clean WA title. We are already wondering where this one may head off to start its next adventures. PRESS Often emulated, never quite rivaled, BMW’s GS series remains the benchmark for “big trailies”: bikes inspired by the GS range since 1980 include the Cagiva Elefant, Triumph Tiger, Moto Guzzi Quota, Aprilia Caponord, KTM Adventure, Suzuki V-Strom, and (outside the U.S.) Honda’s trio of twin-cylinder trailies; the Transalp, Africa Twin and Varadero. But how did the GS come about? Starting in 1979, the Paris-Dakar rally had caught the public’s attention. Yamaha XT500s won in 1979 and 1980, but BMW planned a major assault for 1981, using as the basis the company’s latest creation: the R80G/S. G/S - Announced for the 1981 season, the R80G/S was both revolutionary and something of a parts-bin special. It used the road-bike 800cc R80/7 engine in a modified R65 frame. Revolutionary, though, was the rear suspension, which introduced BMW’s now famous concept of the shaft drive housing forming a single-sided swingarm. The payback for using the Monolever unit, as BMW named it, was extra torsional rigidity and lower weight. The G/S was a tall bike with good ground clearance, motocross-style handlebars and long suspension travel. The full-size adventure tourer was born. Several factors came together to create the R80GS and R100GS. First, the original “G/S” designation (“gelande/strasse,” or terrain/street) implied the bike was intended for off- and on-road use. BMW’s own market research showed that G/Ss were used 98 percent on the street, so the new bike’s personality would be steered that way. Second, the Monolever rear suspension had drawn criticism: torque reaction from the big boxer engine would “jack up” the rear end under hard acceleration, upsetting the handling. BMW’s answer was the Paralever, which added a torque rod to the outer casing. Together with revised bodywork, the R80GS and R100GS (“gelande-sport”) were launched for 1987.
