BMW have always been synonymous with the flat twin engine and shaft drive since their first model appeared in 1923. The first model, the R32, utilised both these features, and was a success from the word go. Intrinsically well-balanced by virtue of the opposed cylinders, the horizontally-opposed twin has been used by many manufacturers over the years, but has been a mainstay for BMW. Beginning with 500cc engines, capacities varied and increased over time, and unusually, the 900cc R90/6 and R90S appeared in 1973, before the advent of the 800cc R80/7 in 1977, replacing the R75. The R80 was redesigned to produce the R80G/S, BMW's first trail bike, engineered with generous ground clearance, a high-level exhaust system, and a breakthrough monolever rear swinging arm / shaft drive arrangement. The R80G/S was joined by the R100GS in 1986, and the 800 was discontinued the following year. The R100GS continued until 1994.

J114 AUX was imported from Holland by the deceased owner and UK registered on 1st May 2017. It was MoT'd at the date of registration, but this expired 23rd April 2018, and the bike is presently declared SORN. A pair of BMW panniers accompany the bike, together with a spare dual seat, and a non-BMW top box. Documentation consists of a current V5C, the Dutch registration document, a NOVA HMRC document, the aforementioned expired MoT certificate, and sundry other papers. It will require re-commissioning and safety checks before returning to the road with a new owner.
