1992 BMW R100GS, Bob can’t even recall the last time we had a R100GS to offer up for sale, let alone one that has so much extra value tucked in under the bumble bee paint job. As he gave it some longer thought it may have been this exact bike 5 plus years ago but it’s much nicer now. There are simply far too few that anyone is willing to sell or trade in these days. These bikes have quickly followed the original R80GS is popularity, dependability, light weight, durability and over time a steady increase in values. And then there is the sheer FUN factor involved in owning and riding an early GS.Yes, this one is missing the tank decals it originally came from BMW with but most people looking at it think this small change seriously improved the looks of this otherwise timeless machine. This owner was not the only soul who removed them – they simply were not everyone’s visual cup of tea. And that issue was not much different than the original two tone dual seat which in this case has been upgraded; yellow (the rider portion) seats tend to get very dirty pretty fast.And we will share right at the start of this story that there is a medium sized (smaller than a beer coaster) dent on the top right side which you’ll see in one of the images. We selected to not address this since the tank still holds a good 6 gallons of fuel and because it’s black does not show too badly; we didn’t think fixing it would make the bike a lot more valuable but could certainly do this for you once it’s yours. Otherwise the bike is in very nice, mostly original cosmetic condition from end to end and top to bottom. And Bob’s has been caring for this bike since 2009 when it came to us in trade from who we believe was the original owner. The next person (you?) to have fun with and care for this gem should be the third owner.
