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 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.
