2003 BMW R1100S Randy Mamola Boxer Cup Replika
Miles: 7,582
Clean New York Title
Listed Price: $7,500
Produced between 2003 and 2005, the BMW R1100S Boxer Cup Replika was a limited-production version of sportiest production BMW which, at the time, was a bit like saying a car was “the sexiest Volkswagen.” But BMW was working within a limited palate, building a bike using the same basic technologies they’d been developing for years, both to save costs and to appeal to their existing customer base. The R1100S had the company’s unconventional Telelever/Paralever front and rear suspension systems, along with a sportier version of the company’s familiar “boxer” flat-twin engine, here displacing 1085cc and producing 87hp at the wheel, with higher-compression pistons and a higher redline than previous models. Efforts were made to make everything as light as possible on the new sporty BMW, but the final bike still weighed in at over 500lbs. The Cup Replika [correct spelling], built to commemorate a one-make race series that featured the bike, added some suspension tweaks to improve the handling, although it offered the same straight-line shove. Still, racetrack performance was never the point, and the package worked extremely well in real-world riding. Prices, especially for non-Cup Replika models, remain shockingly low, considering the versatility and performance,

This particular example of BMW’s R1100S Boxer Cup Replika comes to us from the wilds of Port Washington, New York and, although it has just 7,582 miles on the odometer, the bike displays some clear signs of having lived in colder climate… egads! Is that rust on those brake rotor bolts?! We Californians are a bit spoiled when it comes to our weather, I know, but anyone trying to sell a collectible sportbike really could swap out some nasty old hardware before referring to their bike as being in “truly beautiful condition.” Otherwise, the aforementioned cracked and slightly faded fender aside, the bodywork appears to be in good condition, and the bike has very low miles, although that’s generally not as big a selling point for BMWs as it is for your average Italian exotic. These come up for sale from time-to-time, often in much nicer condition so I think the asking price is very ambitious, unless there’s a buyer local to the seller who’s got a few weekends free to swap out all the rusty hardware that may be hiding elsewhere on this otherwise very cool bike.

Just covered 110 of beautiful Angeles Crest real estate on the 2004 BCR. Fantastic bike in terms of road handling and comfort (thanks to a Corbin seat). They look much better in person and the BCR livery is so cool that it looks fast standing still even 22 years later. These are very underrated bikes, especially the regular R11S.
I almost called you out in my post! Glad to hear you still have yours. Honestly, a regular model is on my list of “next bikes” as a reasonably low-maintenance sport-touring ride.
I agree, I had an old friend who had a regular 1100S, and he had no problems keeping up on fast rides. Then he switched to a 998 and things went south.
