1983 BMW R100 Cafe Racer

The bicycle in question is a 1983 BMW R100 Cafe Racer, originally manufactured at the BMW AG MOTORCYCLES plant in Berlin, Germany. This classic motorcycle, classified as a standard body type and equipped with a fuel-injected opposed twin engine displacing 979cc, was modified into an attractive cafe racer style around two decades ago by the Bavarian Cafe of Costa Mesa, California. Notable modifications include upgrading the cylinders to handle 1000 cc capacity and installing a custom quarter fairing, Giuliari solo seat, Hagon shocks, and twin BTR monoshock rear suspension. Despite its transformation, the motorcycle retains its original air-cooled engine configuration, featuring two cylinders and producing approximately 44 horsepower.
