The BMW R 100 GS Paris-Dakar is the rally-inspired version of BMW's R 100 GS, with a large fuel tank and fairing. It uses an air-cooled boxer twin of about 980cc with shaft drive.
It celebrated BMW's Dakar wins and is now a sought-after classic adventure bike. Rivals included the Honda XRV750 Africa Twin and Yamaha XTZ750 Super Tenere.
