1979 BMW R100T (980cc) BEAUTIFUL REDUCED!!!! NO RESERVE Beautiful original specimen, had fairing and tank cover on it when I found it which had protected the bike and paint. Took it off, got rid of fairing, still have tank cover. Rides like a dream. Just over 28,000 miles which I have no doubt are original from the condition and how it rides. Very, very tight for a used bike let alone one of this age. Seems like it was always stored carefully and very well maintained plus my father serviced it thoroughly after I bought it in February including new battery, oil change, fresh brake fluid, air filter, fuel filter, using appropriate parts from the BMW motorcycle store. Everything works including the original clock, all the lights, etc. One small place where the tank cover caused a nick in the paint (right side lower front which can be seen in the photos. The bike has spent its life in and around Boise, Idaho so dry climate good for classic vehicles. Clymer repair manual and some maint. records back to 1987 included. Forgot to mention in last listing that it has a BMW cover, may be original as it has some wear. Also, Hard luggage BEAUTIFUL CONDITION, no cracks, easy off and on. Luggage Rack on the back. Seat is amazing condition (I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it), only flaw is where the original grab handle came off to put on the hard luggage and luggage rack.
