The BMW R 100/7 – a motorcycle that defies expectations. While its sibling models, the S series and RS, cater to the fashion-conscious and status-seekers, the R 100/7 is the rugged, reliable workhorse that has earned the hearts of both tourists and working-class riders.
Its 980cc engine, weighing in at 474 pounds, is a force to be reckoned with. Initially, it shimmies and springs to life with a sudden, pulsating energy, before settling into a smooth idle with only a hint of big twin vibration.
As you navigate the twists and turns of the Superslab, the R 100/7’s balance of power and control makes it an exceptional companion, just as comfortable in crowded city traffic as it is on the open road.
With its robust character and timeless design, it’s no wonder the R 100/7 has remained a timeless classic, still thrilling riders with its unique blend of power and poise, a true testament to the enduring allure of the BMW legend.
