(08 May 01 - present)Extra details etc:
This bike is one of the last of the 998cc (8 valve engine) K100RS models. It
was produced as a "Special Edition" in the Blue & White BMW
Motorsport livery and was supplied with ABS and a colour coded "belly-pan". The
bike comes with pannier racks and top box mountings and has a colour-coded BMW
top-box with integral pillion back rest and matching BMW panniers (see picture).
It is also fitted with two-setting BMW heated grips. A taller screen was fitted
by the last owner, however this caused some turbulence to Chris & me at 6' 6"
and 6' 4" respectively, so the additional few inches have been removed to bring
this to the standard length... without the additional air-flip.
This model was one I had been after for some years. Since owning this machine I have replaced the following parts through routine maintenance, in addition to servicing (which is not shown below) and with a desire to get the machine into original spec' as I intended keeping this machine for many years to come.

| "Without Panniers" - trip north | "Fully Dressed" - at home |
Note: Chris used this machine to Austria in May 2006 but new K1200R in the family fleet meant the mileage has not risen as rapidly on the K100RS and I use the machine more as a second bike.
