Great bike Drive it any where any place any timea real fun ride! Acceleration and braking are fantastic..Must sell it due to health issues. I will miss it very much my loss your gain Any questions please ask The engine is a flat-twin "oilhead" that has air-cooled cylinders but oil-cooled heads. Derived from the BMW R1100RS, the 1,085 cc fuel-injected eight-valve engine is tuned for a maximum output of 98 horsepower (73 kW) at 8,400rpm.[2][3] At the time of its introduction, it was BMW's most powerful boxer engine ever made, and the first mated to a six-speed transmission.[6] The ohv engine has chain-driven camshafts mounted in the cylinder heads, operating the valves via short pushrods and rocker arms. The compact close-ratio six-speed transmission is derived from the BMW K1200RS.[2] Far from being a touring overdrive, the top gear gives 20 mph per 1,000rpm, so at 80 mph the engine turns at 4,000rpm. In addition to using the engine as a stressed member, the R1100S has a composite aluminum frame to which the suspension components are attached. The front suspension is BMW's patented Telelever, with long telescopic fork sliders containing neither springs nor damping. In order to minimize "fork dive", braking forces are taken back to the frame via a pivoting wishbone. A monoshock on this wishbone copes with springing and damping.[8][9] The rear suspension comprises BMW's "Paralever", a single-sided swinging arm encompassing shaft drive.[10] The Paralever mounts directly to the frame instead of to the gearbox as on earlier oilheads. A reviewer reported: “The result is greater frame rigidity and better handling".[2] A detachable tubular subframe supports the rider and passenger. The R1100S has a very substantial half fairing which completely envelops the alloy fuel tank. Both the hugger (after market option) and front fender are made of carbon-fibre. The two-into-one exhaust feeds twin silencers tucked up high beneath the pillion seat, Factory options originally available from BMW included electrically-heated grips, ABS brakes and a belly-pan fairing.[10]
