Description from the seller
The BMW R100RT from 1980 is an iconic touring motorcycle that revolutionized the world of motorcycling. This motorcycle was designed with long-distance trips in mind and quickly became popular among riders seeking comfort, performance, and reliability for their road adventures.
With a powerful 1000cc boxer engine, the R100RT was not only a technological masterpiece but also a true workhorse. The approximately 70 hp was sufficient to deliver solid performance without compromising riding comfort. The engine had excellent handling, combined with a stable and comfortable ride, even over long distances.
What truly distinguished the BMW R100RT was the extensive comfort the motorcycle offered. The model was equipped with an aerodynamic fairing that protected the rider from wind and rain, significantly enhancing the experience on long rides. This fairing, combined with excellent suspension and ergonomics, ensured that even the longest journeys remained comfortable. Moreover, the R100RT had a robust design, making it one of the most reliable motorcycles of its time.
With its advanced technology for its time, including an electronic ignition and a solid braking system, the R100RT was a motorcycle suitable not only for long distances but also for daily use. The combination of power, comfort, and durability made this bike a favorite among touring riders and BMW enthusiasts.
Today, the BMW R100RT from 1980 is still appreciated by motorcycle collectors and enthusiasts of classic touring motorcycles. It remains a testament to BMW's commitment to quality and innovation in the motorcycle industry and is one of the most respected motorcycles of the 1980s.

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.
