Just a few years after introducing the [[BMW R90/6|BMW R90/6]] and [[BMW R90S|BMW R90S]], [[BMW|BMW]] upped the capacity of its range-topping flat-twins to 980cc for the 1977 season in the form of the '/7' series. The latter comprised the R100/7 tourer, which used the 60bhp version of the new engine, while the cockpit-faired R100S sportster and the fully faired [[BMW R100RS|R100RS]] superbike came with 70bhp on tap. Within a couple of years the R100/7 'naked' had been re-titled BMW R100T|R100T]] and gained an extra five horsepower, while the others - together with the new [[BMW R100RT|R100RT]] super-tourer - continued to use the 70bhp engine.

The BMW R 100 S was a air-cooled, four-stroke, boxer two cylinder, 2 valves per cylidner Naked motorcycle produced by BMW between 1976 and 1980. It could reach a top speed of 117 mph (189 km/h). Max torque was 56.06 ft/lbs (76.0 Nm) @ 6000 RPM. Claimed horsepower was 70.0 HP (52.2 KW) @ 7000 RPM.


History

Just a few years after introducing the BMW R90/6 and BMW R90S, BMW upped the capacity of its range-topping flat-twins to 980cc for the 1977 season in the form of the '/7' series. The latter comprised the R100/7 tourer, which used the 60bhp version of the new engine, while the cockpit-faired R100S sportster and the fully faired R100RS superbike came with 70bhp on tap. Within a couple of years the R100/7 'naked' had been re-titled R100T and gained an extra five horsepower, while the others - together with the new R100RT super-tourer - continued to use the 70bhp engine.


Engine

The engine was a air cooled air-cooled, four-stroke, boxer two cylinder, 2 valves per cylidner. 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).
