Purchased during COVID, did a tear down to respray the frame which had some slight surface corrosion. Frame has now been professionally electrostatically resprayed in the original colour and was resembling when we had our first born, so it's ~90% assembled, rolling, all large components attached, rear brakes connected and working so can be rolled onto a trailer. (See final picture for current condition).
Can provide videos of it running with both exhausts included.

This AU delivered R100S spent it’s first 25~ years living in Ballarat. Bike has only done 6,000kms in the past 16 years
This bike has lived its entire life in weather sealed garages & has been very well kept however still ridden properly, a testament to this was the 23 year old tyres that were on it when I purchased it that were near immaculate & the rubber still felt new (since replaced)
The bike is in excellent condition for a 45 year old bike, that said, it’s definitely not an immaculate factory 0km crate barn find, there's a lot of imperfections in the paint, stone chips, wear, fade, patina etc. It has however lived the life of a bike that has been ridden 100,000kms & been maintained & stored properly purely for the purpose of the riding experience
The bike has matching engine & frame numbers (6063070), is Australian delivered, never been in an accident, has a clear PPSR record & is almost entirely factory stock with the following three 'bolt-on' exceptions which are all easily removeable; the clock, the oil temp gauge, the panier rack - Genuine OEM clocks can be found easily on eBay, the oil temp gauge was never present originally but is definitely handy, & of course the pannier system can simply be removed if you don't like it
I initially purchased this for a bit of a lockdown project last year, however it was far to original & collectable to do what I had planned (very minor reversible changes) given the AU delivery, history, condition, matching numbers & collectability etc. Other main reason for the sale is due to moving overseas next year.
Yes, I do have the battery side covers, I just didn’t fit them for the photos
