The BMW R 100 R Mystic special model was the alternative for customers who were attracted by the BMW R 100 R but were liked a more vintage design. The technical platform of the special model corresponded to the BMW R 100 R and the visual profile was streamlined with specially designed details. The biggest difference was provided by the completely overhauled bench seat, which provided a much shorter and narrower appearance than the series seat for the R 100 R, and the elegant tail fairing.
