#1 | BMW Special 100 Year Models datum

BMW has announced two 100 Year anniversary models.
I'm guessing more will be announced at a latter date.
Seems strange they picked the R1800 as one of the first to be shown.

Might be because it's style most closely resembles the 1923 models in the lineup.

As BMW styling goes I think they both look nice. Not a bad design effort from the company to my eyes.

Agreed, but I don't see the point in owning such "versions." If you think getting parts for a normal model is a pain, imagine if you own a unique model.

The Option 719 pieces are not new but trying to duplicate the gas tank and seat cowl paint might be a problem.
Hate to see what the painted tank will cost from BMW.

BMW should make a 100 years of boxers in the RT. I'm not interested in either of the 100th edition motorcycles.

The mind is the limiting factor

No idea how many 100 Year models BMW will have.
If they don't have a 100 Year version for all the models I would think they'll at least have a RT and GS.
