Hello all. This is my first post so not really familiar how this all works so bear with me.
I wanted to pass on some info.
Came across your posts a couple weeks ago and found it very interesting. First because I have always liked this model of airhead, secondly because I have one of the missing 'Unicorns'.
The elusive 91' R100 'Classic' came to me used in 2001 from a purchase through BMW dealer and original owner. My # reads...… M6419165.
I love riding mine and hope your rejuvenation project works well. Best wishes for many miles of fun riding.

Sounds great, and you might also be interested in my Thread discussing the "R100 Trad", in many ways the predecessor to the R100 Classic https://forums.bmwmoa.org/showthrea...R100CJ)-and-the-1991-92-BMW-R100-Mono-Classic

Thanks cbacco. Maybe post up a pic for us?
I was looking forward to many miles of smiles, and I still am, but that'll be down the road a bit. The wife and I rode it several hundred miles after giving it a full service, and it ran like new. But the next morning, the garage floor showed what can happen when a bike sits unused for 23 years. Aside from the oil leakage, the guy I sold it to apparently was running some sort of "magic elixir" in the fuel which resulted in extremely thick, hard deposits all over the combustion chamber, valves, piston crown, and the unswept area at the top of the bore. This thread probably isn't the place to discuss that, so I'll post pics of the carnage in a new topic.

Sorry to hear about the bike, hope you can revive it soon.
I will get to cleaning mine up (as she's much too disheveled for display) and post some pics. Maybe another thread is better. I'll either go direct message or start a new thread.
Cheers!

I started a new thread, but feel free to PM me
