In 1994, the third version of the new four-valve Boxer generation was presented with the BMW R 850 R and R 1100 R. BMW operated on the proven formula by taking components from the BMW R 1100 GS, like the engine and raised exhaust system, and using them in the chassis of the R 1100 RS with appropriate road-going tyres. By combining classic design and technical highlights, such as the advanced BMW Motorrad ABS II and the fully controlled three-way catalytic converter, the R 1100 R gained many adherents and anchored the roadster concept firmly in the BMW motorcycle range.
