Model overview
Model description
“Like many qualities the BMW possesses, the sound is understated—rich and elegant,” commented Big Bike magazine in a 1977 review. This is just one of the superlatives earned by the 1977 BMW R100/7, the standard version of the new, upsized /7 series. The lovely feel of the controls, the effective lighting, and even the authoritative honk of the horn were deemed state of the art. New dogleg-style clutch and brake levers supplied by Magura also earned praise. The only real criticism was directed at the small-diameter, hard handgrips. Otherwise, there were just minor eccentricities.
The new model featured many changes to the engine. The air-cooled, overhead-valve, horizontally opposed twin now displaced 980cc with a bore and stroke of 94.0 x 70.6 mm and a 9.0:1 compression ratio. It made 60hp at 6,500 rpm. At 474 lb, the R100/7 was a bit lighter than the R100S and range-topping R100RS, and even with less power it would do 117 mph. Ride quality was remarkable for its suppleness in combination with stable handling. A single 260mm front disc and rear drum stopped the bike, but the 6.3-gallon tank ensured long distances between stops.
Adding a small fairing, rear rack, and mounts for saddlebags made a long-distance tourer if the owner desired. The price tag of $3,685 was just slightly less shocking than the stickers on the S and RS. About 12,000 copies of the R100/7 were made in four-year production run.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.
Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.
Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.
The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
