1975 BMW R100 – Café Style Project

A classic BMW boxer twin with café-style character, this 1975 BMW motorcycle presents in White and shows an indicated 48,000 kilometres. Originally built as a 900cc model, the bike has been upgraded with a later 1000cc BMW boxer twin engine, offering increased performance while retaining the robust engineering for which BMW motorcycles of this era are known.



Power comes from the air-cooled horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and BMW’s traditional shaft drive system, a combination well regarded for reliability and smooth touring capability. This example has been fitted with a 2:1 exhaust system, Lester rear mag wheel, Tri-Spark electronic ignition and a new battery. The vendor advises the bike starts and runs well but should be viewed as a project café-style build.



BMW Airhead Boxer Model History

BMW’s air-cooled boxer twin motorcycles from the 1970s — often referred to as “Airheads” — are among the most respected and durable motorcycles ever produced. Known for their distinctive horizontally opposed twin engines, shaft drive and solid engineering, these machines developed a reputation for long-distance reliability and ease of maintenance. The larger-capacity 1000cc variants became especially popular with touring riders and enthusiasts, while the clean mechanical layout has made them a favourite base for custom café racer and classic builds.
