Certainly it would make sense to provide a bike that a naked bike rider would like, a fully faired bike like the RT, and the cool factor of the RS. My book "BMW Profiles: Motorcycles from Berlin" does show performance differences between the bikes: - R100 -- 67Hp, 72 Nm torque @ 5500, 8:2.1 compression - R100CS -- 70Hp, 76 Nm @ 6000, 9:5.1 - R100RT -- 70Hp, 77 Nm @ 5500, 9:5.1. Hello Team, I'm going to look at an R 100 GS PD next week, and can't find anything resembling a buyers guide.

It's a 1993 with just shy of 40,000 miles. One owner, known history. Any hints and tips on what to look for would be greatly appreciated.

The brakes. I've modified my GS with a 4 piston caliper from a later BMW and a stainless brake line. Its a worthwhile improvement, but still nowhere near modern bikes.

The narrow front tire also effectively limits front braking power. I think buying an R100GS and then trying to modify to get an extra 20.
