BMW R-Series description

1978 BMW R100S with close to 35k miles
this a great bike that would make a nice addition for any collector, or a great daily driver or sport touring motorcycle.
I just recently took it on a 600 mile trio through several state parks in southern Utah and he handled like a champ. 
plenty of power. I have had several other BMW airheads and this one is by far the smoothest and fastest. 
the speedometer stopped working when i purchased it and the previous owner said it was close to 32k miles 
I have replaced the original speedometer from one off a R100rt and everything works except the back light. it might just need a bulb.
there are a few minor scratches on the lower right hand side of the motorcycle tank and some light cracks on the top of the fairing 
from being over tightened by the previous owner.
the bike has custom mufflers that have been tuned beautifully and have a nice mean sound without being too loud, and they don't backfire!
brand new AGM style battery that has tons of cca  for turning the 1000cc engine over
comes with factory tire pump that is located under the seat
both hard bags and brackets
the original seat has been upholstered in a nice black fabric and has 2 hidden storage compartments.
tires are good
brakes are good
oil was just changed
and only has a small leak about the size of a penny on the ground if left sitting for a while.
