TECHNICAL DATA SHEET


Make : BMW

@ Web : http://www.bmw.fr/motorrad/index.html

Model : R100GS "Paris-Dakar"

Building year : 1990

Displacement : 980 cc

Engine : 4 stroke flat twin, OHV, oil cooler

Transmission : 5 speed, gear shaft

Weight : 187 kg

It could seem optimistic, but I think it's true. If you're curious, check R100 RT weight...

Max speed : 173 km/h

Tank : 12l

Average consumption : 8l/100 km

Average range : 280 km

Comments :
- GOOD : roadholding, saddle/suspension comfort, traction (paralever : double gearshaft), spoked tubeless wheels, simple engine, weight/displacement, big tank, facilities (little box in the tank, watch, quick light tuning, even with gloves on)...
- BAD : one front disc only, poor fairing protection (too far away, too small), 5th gear slightly longer than 4th, drinks a lot of fuel, veeery long throttle range, carburettors interfere with commands, especially brake pedal...
