THE HIGH PRICE OF BEING INDIVIDUAL
This is obviously not a
machine for everyone.
It is, on the other hand, the
only machine for one certain
dynamic, yet sane, class of rider.
Those individuals to whom a
perfect balance in all things —
including their all-important
riding demands —is everything.

We know them well —these
balanced, un-mass produced
individuals. We build the most
excellent, enduring—and in-
dividualistic-machines on the
road for them.
Less weight, more agility.
The BMW R100 RS you see atop
this lofty pass is designed to our
individual's nimblest needs.
Il reflects BMW's philosophy
of handling with a dry weight
nearly one hundred pounds less
than motorcycles with a similar
cubic capacity.
Instead of following the mad
rush of the mass produced
bikes to a cumbersome
BMW.
and overcomplicated
sameness—its unique
air-cooled twin opposed flat
engine develops a high degree
of torque through an exceed-
ingly wide range of r.p.m.
The unique BMW fairing.
The design, performance and
consequent look of the BMW
Integral Fairing is totally unlike
anything else to be seen on the
world's roads today.
As its name implies, it is de-
signed to be an integral part —
not an afterthought—of the
BMW R100 RS shown here.
The unrivalled aerodynamic
soundness of this BMW fairing
is the result of hundreds of
hours of wind
tunnel testing
at simulated
Autobahn
speeds in
excess of 200
kilometers
an hour.
Limited Production. Last
year, less than five hundred
new, individually constructed
BMW R100 RS's were allotted
to the American marketplace
and took to the American road.
To the individual
belong the spoils.
I Strategically placed "spoilers"
i create down forces to improve
handling.
FOR ONE LONG SHINING MOMENT,
STOP COMPROMISING.
