Hello All - been stalking a few GS options and have come across this R100GS

Looks like a Kalahari.....But......its too old methinks....1989......as I thought the Kalahari was 96/97

Even if not original it is still a lush looking bike.

Interested to see what you guys think.

Cheers

Dan

What makes you think it’s 89?
 
The vin checks out as the correct date so too old but as the kalahari was also 800 cc not 1000. This was a white 100gs repainted me thinks. Also I believe only 600 were made and 300 went to Sth Africa and not to be seen again.

"Very beautiful BMW R100GS Kalahari version from 1989 with 17,192km.
Fully restored and in competition condition.
Equipped with the 30 liter tank and the single seat, it will delight you with its torquey engine and its precise gearbox.
Matching Numbers frame and engine, very rare model to find.
1st generation model, complete and out of maintenance. (Engine drain, valve settings, spark plugs, gearbox / cardan / axle / brake fluid drain, synchronization)
Complete file with photos of the restoration available.
Options: Center stand, hand guards, aluminum engine spoiler, EMC rear shock, clock and tachometer…
Papers in order and duplicate keys. (Book and tool kit present)
HD video of the motorcycle: https://youtu.be/1qdHqzn0ThY "

Matching numbers??
 
Thanks Tetley.....am of the opinion that it’s a ‘replica’......looked at charitably.....but still worth asking price.
Normal caveats apply of course. Cheers

I would think I would be avoiding that like the plaque Different numbers We need GabrialGS skills to enhance that I think

I have NEVER seen an airhead frame plate down there

I also have never see a "Belgian" BMW factory on the frame plate either and I have seen a few aircooled bikes
 
Hi Dan
I live in North Dorset if you fancy looking at a couple of Airheads

I laughed when i saw that.. :D I think matching frame/engine numbers stopped in 1983.

Do you know when in 1983 they stopped, as my ST (built ‘83, but not registered til dec ‘84) has matching numbers (Franme and engine). I was just wondering if mine was one of the last.

Thanks
