BMW Boxer Volume 2 – all models with single-sided swingarm from 1980 – 1996

This second volume on the subject of BMW two-valves deals with the models with one-sided rear suspension, often referred to as “single-sided swing arms”, which rolled off the production line at the Spandau plant from August 1980 onwards. These are all G/S and GS models with two-valve boxer engines. In addition, there are the R 80 ST, the R 65, R 80, R 100 RS and R 100 RT from 1985 onwards as well as the R 100 R, the R 100 R Mystic including the Classic models from 1995. The description of the machines is systematically based on the model of the first volume, which was gratifyingly well received by BMW enthusiasts. The considerations and activities that preceded the appearance of the first R 80 G/S and its successor models with the two-valve engine are covered in detail here.
