The original R100RS
(1977 Model Year), produced in Silver Blue Code 530. This 99% original
example belonging to Bob Wakeman has a genuine 18,000 miles on the
clock - note the painted and pin-striped wire wheels and the polished
alloy clock/voltmeter surrounds (only ever produced on this model). As
far as I can discover, only 5159 were produced for Europe and
1263 for the US. For closer detail, see the colour scheme pages. |

Taken from The BMW Club Journal,
July 1978: Limited Edition R100RS - For the record: During the
second week of May, 50 dealers from Britain were guests of BMW in
Munich when the white R100RS's with rallysport stripes and white
panniers were launched. 150 of them will be sold (and I think by now
have been) in Britain at the cost of £3,300 each. |

Supposedly a limited edition R100RSR (Australia) - never heard of it
myself but the badges would indicate it's genuine. Information
Courtesy of Steve Doyle:
The story goes that the RSR was a Japan
order but some were delivered by mistake to Australia. God only
knows these days. Limited number with a badge designating the
number. Otherwise a stock R100RS.
As you can see the lowers are missing.
The striping was meant to be red and white I believe.

below.
I have
a black 1982 RSR, with red and white pinstriping. I thought it was
the only one around! I too do not have the fairing lowers fitted at
the moment mainly because the fairing frame is slightly bent and the
lower left panel has cracked as a result. Took
the lowers off to stop the situation getting worse.Inside
the cockpit my bike has a little RSR number tag but unfortunately
the number was not engraved on to the plate.I suspect it was just a
transfer. That transfer is long gone.

Left: The Belgian Police bikes:
The story goes
that the colour scheme was the Belgian Police colour. The myth was
that there was an overproduction or cancelled order leaving bikes
not required. These were then sold as the Belgian Police model.
It's suggested that BMW NA were struggling to move product at the
time and just repainted the bright gold metallic RS and someone
started a story about the Belgian thing. They would be "special"
models and may sell better I guess.
I have no idea if any of this is true.
