Mind you, this isn’t just your stock R100GS. It packs an array of aftermarket goodies that’ll definitely suit your taste.
The 1992 BMW R100GS Paris-Dakar is put in motion thanks to an air-cooled 980cc boxer-twin powerplant, which hosts dual Bing carbs, four valves and a compression ratio of 8.5:1. This bad boy is good for up to 60 hp at 6,500 rpm, while a healthy torque output of 56 pound-feet (76 Nm) will be generated at approximately 3,750 spins.
To reach the rear wheel, the oomph travels via a five-speed transmission that’s in turn paired with an enclosed driveshaft. Ultimately, the end result is a top speed of 109 mph (176 kph) and a quarter-mile time of just 13.1 seconds. The powertrain modules are nested inside a double cradle skeleton, which rests on telescopic forks at the front and a Paralever suspension setup on the other end.
Stopping power is provided by a single 285 mm (11.2 inches) Brembo disc and a twin-piston caliper up front, along with a 200 mm (7.9 inches) drum brake fitted on the rear 17-inch hoop. When equipped with all the necessary fluids, the Beemer will tip the scales at 519 pounds (236 kilograms).
Now that we’ve talked about Paris-Dakar's technical specifications, let’s get straight to the point. The bike featured in this article’s photo gallery is making its way to the auction block at no reserve, with a current bid of just $5,000. It comes with a limited selection of tasteful adjustments, namely an LED taillight item, Shinko tires and a two-up Corbin saddle with red accents.
As of 2021, the engine underwent a rejuvenating service to keep things running smoothly. The ‘91 MY Bavarian is definitely a head-turner, but we think it’d look even better parked in your garage, so make sure you head over to Bring A Trailer within the next four days. The online auction will be open until Monday afternoon (August 2).
