The '''[[BMW]] R 100 GS''' was a air-cooled, four-stroke, boxer twin cylinder, 2 valves per cylinder Road [[motorcycle]] produced by [[BMW]] between 1987 and 1996. It could reach a top speed of 102 mph (164 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 56.06 ft/lbs (76.0 Nm) @ 6500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 59.94 HP (44.7 KW) @ 6500 RPM. | The '''[[BMW]] R 100 GS''' was a air-cooled, four-stroke, boxer twin cylinder, 2 valves per cylinder Road [[motorcycle]] produced by [[BMW]] between 1987 and 1996.

Despite their reputation as superb touring bikes, [[BMW]]s have always been involved in off-mad competition. Since 1929 BMW has participated in the International Six Days' Trial and been involved in [[enduro]] racing for over half a century, | |||
==Four Victories in Paris-Dakar== | |||
After some private entries had demonstrated the efficacy of big engines in the wide-open spaces, the BMW factory participated in the classic [[Paris-Dakar]] rally usually dominated by Japanese singles. Victories soon followed: in 1981 and 1983 for Hubert Auriol, followed by Gaston Rahier in 1984-85. | |||
==Enter the Paralever== | |||
It was a dramatic lesson for the Japanese and Italians. Profiting from this show of strength, in 1985 BMW launched the [[BMW R80GS|R80GS]]. (GS is for "Gelande Sport" -"cross-country sport.") It was the biggest trail bike of its day. The R80GS became the R100GS in 1988, with the addition of a major innovation: Paralever. The single-arm rear suspension of R80GS received an upper arm and a reaction bar, creating a deformable girder fork. "Freezing" of the rear suspension due to the action of the driveshaft during acceleration was suppressed. | |||
The R100GS, styled by Target Design, was sidelined in 1983 by a "Paris-Dakar" version equipped with an engine shield, a "cowcatcher" and a full fairing. Ironically, BMW long ago pulled out of African rallies under extreme pressure from the powerful "green" lobby that exists in Germany. | |||

It came with a 90/90-21 front [[tire]] and a 130/80-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single 285mm disc, 2-piston caliper in the front and a 200mm drum in the rear. The front suspension was a hydraulic telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a BMW Motorrad Paralever. The R 100 GS was fitted with a 9.25 Gallon (35.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 456.36 pounds (207.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 59.61 inches (1514 mm) long. | It came with a 90/90-21 front [[tire]] and a 130/80-17 rear tire.
