Introduced in late 1998 as a 1999 model, BMW brought an S-model back to the brand. Pushing 98 hp from the 1098cc boxer, the light(er) weight Beemer could break 12 seconds in the 1/4 mile and very nearly 140 mph. Telelever front end has inherent dive control, and low-maintenance Paralever swingarm encloses shaft drive. This second-year R1100S with optional paint has low miles and some nice upgrades.
2000 BMW R1100S for sale on eBay
For the R1100S introduction, BMW made many sport-related upgrades to their sport-touring package. While their family of touring bikes hangs the rear suspension directly from the transmission housing, the R1100S has a sub-frame providing much great rigidity to the chassis. The flowing design of the bodywork hides the underseat exhaust and an aluminum fuel tank holding almost 5 gallons. Carbon front fender and clip-on handlebars were first on a BMW on the R1100S. BMW pioneered development of ABS and debate continues of whether sportbikes should have it, but the triple Brembo disks on this bike appear to be ABS controlled, and who knows, it could make a save one day. This example has only 8,500 miles and the newly recovered seat has the cowling, also the nice touches of enlarged windshield, barbacks, clear signal lenses, and factory cover.

Bike is in the best condition runs great needs nothing but a rider. you can see in the pics how fine the bike is.
A sparkling presentation with new tires and battery, upgraded exhaust, and usual Bosch Motronic reliability, a successful bidder should have a summer full of trouble-free miles.

Had one of these in silver with Lazer exhaust and other Boxer Cup upgrades, fantastic bike that I miss to this day, only wish it had more range, I don’t rememeber the tank holding quite that much.
Overpriced by about 2K, no? Owners of this model are notorious for overestimating its value. If you spend any time at the pelican parts forum, you’ll see delusions of getting 5, 6, 7K for these. An R1200S just sold on ebay for less.
For sure its optimistically priced, as most BMW’s are, mine was tip top with all the good upgrades and mods and I happily sold it for $4700. They are under appreciated though and quite the value. On another BMW currently (K1300S) and couldn’t be happier. If you’ve never had the chance, a Boxxer S is something else and deserves a look or test ride
