When cows fly…
… is either Walpurgis Night or a BMW R 1100 S. The Bavarian sports boxer is good for a long-term relationship despite his rough edges?

Regardless of whether it’s egg hunt for Easter, the handing out of certificates at the end of the school year or the champagne shower on the podium: rituals are important in life ?? and a catalyst for business. BMW thought and took the Boxer Cup, launched in 1999 as a national event by French BMW director Jean-Michel Cavret, for two years
later under the wing of the parent plant. With that, Bayern wrote the R 1100 S. a major role on the body. the
The plan worked, the brand cup, designed for equal opportunities, has since taken place as part of the road world championship. This is how you save yourself rich: without a MotoGP racer you can still take part in every Grand Prix.
A boxer motorcycle as a racing file? That sounds a bit like the casting shows of Pro 7 and Sat 1, TV-damaged cynics could claim. With which they are not entirely wrong? Because in fact, the audience there, as here, wants stars with a profile, rough edges. And the R 1100 S has a lot of that.

Model overview – BMW R 1100 S.
MODEL HISTORY
Production started in May 1998, and the first R 1100 S were delivered from autumn onwards ?? for the equivalent of 10,686 euros. Until the introduction of the lighter, newly developed partially integral ABS, Brembo four-piston calipers and 305 mm washers were used, and in spring 2001 the mountings for the dip tubes were changed. The new 320 discs were also thicker? the wear dimension was 5.0 instead of 4.5 millimeters.
Initially, BMW only supplied the R 1100 S in yellow or black, two-tone paintwork was available from 2000, and later monochrome metallic paintwork as well. After March 2001, no more models with ABS II were manufactured. At the Intermot 2002, the Weibblauen presented the new six-speed transmission with the larger tooth flank overlap. From 2003 the limited edition of the first Boxer Cup replica with Randy Mamola lettering, 820 millimeter seat height and two-tone paintwork was available. 1100 units of the current replica are to be manufactured ?? In the design of the 2004 racing machines, without ABS, but with the more easily removable mirrors of the R 1200 GS.
SIGHTSEEING
An R 1100 S is usually well looked after, which does not mean that there are no modifications. “In” are carbon parts from Julius Ilmberger or Pack-Parts
as well as adjustable Paralever struts, accessory exhaust systems (see MOTORRAD 4/2002), Hesa diode taillights and more (see www.s-boxer.de). Before the test drive, check whether the chassis is correctly adjusted (standard front shock absorber: rebound 21 clicks open; rear shock / base 18 clicks open, rebound slot 1.25 turns open). A slipping clutch indicates that there is oil on the clutch disc, which means that the oil seals in the gearbox must also be replaced. Do-it-yourself screwdrivers can look forward to: From the end of April there will be repair instructions for the R 1100 S (Bucheli-Verlag, Volume 5254, ISBN 371-6820520, 24.90 euros).
MARKET SITUATION
Almost 11,000 R 1100 S are currently registered. “Naked” models without special equipment are rare, modifications are often only cosmetic, and the sports package offered by the factory (suspension strut length 330 millimeters at the front, 320 millimeters at the rear) was often ordered. Used vehicles are primarily sold through dealers, less often from private customers
Advertisements advertise, the offer is large. But if you are looking for an older R 1100 S, it will be difficult at the BMW dealer and should therefore also search through motorcycle magazines and regional second-hand papers. The Schwacke list is only a rough guide: It assumes that a 2000 model has already covered 33,000 kilometers? which is hardly the case in practice. Even machines built in 1998 and 1999 change first or second owner for less than 7,000 euros only in exceptional cases, models with partially integral ABS (from year of construction 2001) are available from around 8,500 euros.
