The "slash seven" development was an evolutionary change of the BMW 247 engine from the previous "slash six". The R100 models received a double disc brake in the front wheel. For 1976 to 1979 models the front brake was a pivot caliper ATE disc actuated from the controls via cable to a brake master cylinder under the tank. From 1980 models onwards front brakes were changed to a Brembo fixed caliper brake

This bike was described as a time warp, being with the same family since new and recording only 2008 miles, with concours winning potential.
