This bike is a SWEETHEART. A 1979 BMW R100T with all factory parts including seat, rear fender, etc. Beautiful bike. If you want a vintage Beemer but also want something unique, this is your bike. It turns more heads than my Harley. This bike has meticulous maintenance records, has a custom 2 up cafe racer seat, custom rear fender delete, custom tail light, Custom handlebars, factory paint, and even a custom matching helmet to match the bike. Bike has an incredibly smooth powerband, starts great, has no leaks/smoke, and runs very strong as expected.
