This 2001 BMW R1100S was purchased new by the seller and is powered by a 1,085cc opposed twin linked to a six-speed transmission and an enclosed driveshaft. Finished in yellow with black and red accents, it is equipped with triple Brembo anti-lock disc brakes, 17″ alloy wheels, and Telelever front and Paralever rear suspension with adjustable Öhlins monoshocks in addition to a stainless-steel exhaust system, a half fairing, both side and center stands, and a stepped two-up Corbin seat. Following 10 years in storage, the bike was serviced in 2020 by changing the oils in the engine, gearbox, and final-drive housing along with flushing the brake fluid and replacing the battery, alternator belt, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel and brake lines, and tires. This R1100S is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, BMW-branded side cases and mounts, a rear travel bag, spare parts, service invoices, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.

The bike is finished in yellow with black and red graphics and is equipped with a half-fairing that carries an integrated clear windscreen and dual mirrors.

Anti-lock braking is provided by a pair of drilled rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers up front along with a single rotor and a two-piston Brembo caliper at the rear. Braided stainless-steel brake lines were installed in 2020, and the brake fluid was flushed at that time.
