The BMW R 100RTClassic (1995) is a testament to the brand’s commitment to its loyal followers. Built on the resurrection of the 1000cc Boxer, this touring bike boasts improved performance over its predecessor.
The engine, a 980cc unit, delivers a broad, smooth powerband with increased low-end torque. Smaller carburetors and a tuned exhaust system contribute to its impressive acceleration and cruising capabilities, making it a joy to ride at any speed up to 90 mph.
As you settle into the saddle, the engine’s character shines through, with a strong pulling power in the 3000-to-5000-rpm range. However, it’s worth noting that the engine’s cold-bloodedness after starting can be a minor drawback.
The BMW R 100RTClassic is a charmer, designed to satisfy the needs of its loyal followers.
