BMW’s early image in this country was that of a stodgy tourer: quiet, comfortable and reliable but offering no more excitement than that inherent in any form of two-wheeled travel. Yet. BMWs have won numerous championships in sidecar racing, knobby-tired versions have earned ISDT Gold Medals, and BMW has been preeminent in AMA Superbike road racing. The present BMW continues the tradition in the sense that it, too, is quiet, comfortable and reliable; it adds to those virtues a very nice dash of sporting character, and sporting performance.
BMW’s formula for performance always has been to treat crank stroke, numbers of cylinders and curb Weight: virtually as constants, and add muscle with displacement increases gained with cylinder bore diameter. That’s most of the difference between BMW’s 750 and 900 (bores of 82mm and 90mm, respectively) and the same path was taken in the creation of the new R100/S we’ve just finished testing. Cylinder bore in the new BMW “thousand” has been increased to 94mm, bringing its displacement up to an even 980cc, and this would not have been possible without the margins of strength added in the great redesigning that was done for the 1970 model Year: .
