Description from the seller
1993 was a landmark year for BMW: the 70th anniversary of the first boxer-engine motorcycle, the R32, was celebrated, with the return of this configuration in a revolutionary bike like the 1100RS. Four valves per cylinder, fuel injection, Telelever suspension, and many other technical and aesthetic features made this bike an exceptional step forward, while staying true to the boxer twin tradition.
This ejemplar has been kept with great care, and is ready for any adventure, especially since it is equipped with the complete set of original saddlebags! A few small scratches that are easily removable and a probable need to replace the fork seals.
Riding it is a great pleasure: it accelerates decisively, has powerful braking, a gritty but “polite” sound, and unexpectedly easy handling.
Why am I selling then? Because I’ve been riding motorcycles for half a century (!) and this should tell you I’m not very young anymore, and it’s prudent for me to use lighter bikes that are easy to move from a stop and with more modest performance.
The small details you see in the photos attest to the goodness of this bike, supplied with the original tool kit, owner’s and maintenance manuals, and even the factory brochure! Being over thirty years old in Italy it benefits from vehicle tax exemption and subsidized insurance.
Transfer or export costs not included.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
