The BMW R100 RS Mono was a fully-faired motorcycle that debuted in 1987. As its name suggests, the R100 RS Mono came with a BMW Motorrad Monolever suspension on the rear. It suited riders who wanted more power from their machine and a boxer engine's unmistakable sound and feel.
In 1991, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW R100 RS Mono, a motorcycle in its fifth consecutive production year. In addition, the bike came with the same package as the previous model without any changes whatsoever.
The motorcycle had standard features in the visual department, including a full fairing, a round headlight integrated into the fairing, a windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual chromed exhaust system with a muffler on each side, a center stand, and eight-spoke alloy wheels.
For suspension, the motorcycle packed a hydraulic telescopic fork on the front and a BMW Motorrad Monolever system on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.
As for the braking power, the motorcycle's wheels were fitted with two 285 mm braking discs tied to dual-piston calipers on the front and a 200 mm drum braking unit on the rear, providing optimum stopping power.
The 1991 BMW R100 RS Mono had its soul brought to life by a 980cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled boxer engine, boasting 60 hp at 6,500 rpm and 75 Nm (55 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.
