1989 R100 GS BUMBLEBEE | 23,456 miles | WB1047805K6152998 | $14,500 plus tax & licensing

The classic, gorgeous, do-all R100 GS.. in the iconic “bumblebee” black and yellow. This classic adventure bike has been lovingly brought to as near pristine as you’d wish a daily-rider to be. From the ground up, nearly everything has been touched. With low miles to begin with, the clock on this bike has been wound back even further thanks to an engine rebuild, transmission overhaul, tires/wheel, electronics and more. From the onset, these machines were simple and reliable, with as few meddling electronics as possible, and as much engine as you could reasonably squeeze under a tank and frame (and there’s even a little extra sticking out the sides!). This is a phenomenal example of a classic adventure bike, that is equally at home on the open road, or in the thick of the woods, adventuring away.
