The '''[[BMW]] R100R Mystic''' was a two cylinder boxer, [[four-stroke]] Naked [[motorcycle]] produced by [[BMW]] between 1991 and 1996. It could reach a top speed of 112 mph (181 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 53.55 ft/lbs (72.6 Nm) @ 3500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 58.74 HP (43.8 KW) @ 6500 RPM. 
 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] two cylinder boxer, four-stroke. A 94.0mm [[bore]] x 94.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 980.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead valves (ohv). 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the dry, single plate, diaphragm spring. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 110/80 V18 front [[tire]] and a 140/80 V17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  41mm Showa telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a BMW Motorrad Paralever, Showa adjustable mono-shock. The R100R Mystic was fitted with a 6.34 Gallon (24.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 434.31 pounds (197.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 58.82 inches (1494 mm) long.

Unofficially, all the horizontally opposed flat-twins (the Rs, aka boxers) are retro bikes anyway. Someone needed to say it out loud, that's all, which, with a liquid-cooled four-valve flat-twin due to launch next year, BMW can now do — cashing in on the stampede for modern classics in the process. There is, however, more to the R100R than a junked fairing and wire wheels. At 20 paces it's a random bitsa, at ten it's a R100GS trailie wearing street running gear and chrome. Not quite [[Supermotard]] but not full-blown retro either.

That monolith beneath the tank is 980cc of Paris-Dakar inspired GS motor and five-speed gearbox. It gets GS big-bore carbs (other street Rs have 32mm Bings) and a smidgen more torque than the R100RS/RT — 60 snoozey bhp at 6500rpm, 56 fat lb.ft at just 3750rpm. The double-loop steel frame is GS, too: same laid-back wheelbase (longer than street Rs), same trailie rake and trail but with 18 and 17 inch wheels, road suspension and narrow bars (because the suffix R is for "road").

The forks, so often too long and soft on BMWs, are not only Japanese but have recalculated spring and damping rates over much reduced travel  135mm compared to the R100RS' 175mm. The rear unit has a longer than normal stroke but is adjustable for rebound damping as well as preload. GS/K1 Paralever, the double-jointed swing-arm/drive shaft which effectively reduces torque-induced pitching, finds its way onto a pure-roads R for the first time. It has the lowest of all BMW seat heights and only the plain R80 weighs less fuelled up — and that hasn't a capacious 24 litre tank swiped from a GS and given a golden oldie amethyst paint job.

As the days rolled by, as always happens with me and boxers, my hate mellowed into disinterest into respect. Miles on boxers are always well rewarded.

The engine and its drivetrain crave affection. Once its been given max' choke and seven or 16 protracted blasts on the starter (the battery is indefatigable) it slogs away in its frame, like all good twins should. It chuffs dry and tappety, pulling to the right in reaction to its shaft and flywheel but now fails to squat on the tarmac like those venerable pre-Paralever police BMs. Accelerating from tickover (which vanished after speed testing) brings a lumpy judder, then a brief vibration at 3000rpm before moving into its calmer waters. Before 4000rpm are showing on an excru-tiatingly slow tacho, torque has peaked and begun to drift slowly downwards as power climbs steadily towards 6500rpm.

The tachometer zones are clearly defined: 1500rpm to 3500rpm: rough and gutsy urban punch; 3500 to 4500: lusty and smooth and where the tacho gravitates to on sub-75mph twisties; 4500 to 6000: same eager acceleration but with charm disappearing in direct proportion to rising revs, now droning like a DC-10; 6000 to 6500: noisy, should have shortshifted ages ago but there's a Golf ahead that demands a seeing to and power's still flowing; 6500 to deep into the red: shouldn't be doing this, pegs and bars are beginning to tingle, it's getting hot, the oil-cooler seems to be obscured by the mudguard, it's undergeared, my arms, neck and stomach muscles are indeed enjoying a good work-out.
