Hello.

A long shot, but can anyone identify the make and model of this bike recently seen in Japan?

Thanks.

Seems like 1980's BMW R80RT to me.

'80s BMW R100RS.

The RT had a different upper fairing, bars and seat.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

I know, because I bought a new RT in 1982 cheap, but always really wanted the RS.

Yes, it is.

Thanks. You guys know your stuff.

I'm browsing their catalogs now but RS started in '76 and the series were sold until '96 for 20 years long run.

I'm not sure what your point is, but this should clear up any confusion.

BMWR100RS 1980 - Gold with the same seat.

Pretty sure that establishes the model.

Whatever.... I pretty much identified the model and year. Nothing left to discuss. Have a good one.
