BMW - R 1200 C - Cruiser - NO RESERVE - 1200 cc - 1998

Offered without a reserve price: The BMW R 1200 C is a remarkable cruiser that BMW Motorrad introduced in the late 1990s. With this model, BMW entered a market traditionally dominated by American cruisers. The R 1200 C distinguished itself by its unique design, high-quality finish, and the characteristic BMW boxer engine. The engine is powered by a air-cooled 1,170 cc twin-cylinder boxer engine with a power output of around 61 hp. The unit delivers a lot of torque at low revs and is known for its smooth running and reliability. In combination with the shaft drive, the R 1200 C offers comfortable and low-maintenance riding pleasure. The chassis is designed with comfort and stability as the guiding principles. The bike features BMW's distinctive Telelever front suspension, which provides stable steering behavior and limited dive during braking. The low seat height, relaxed riding position, and wide bars make the R 1200 C particularly suitable for touring. This example is finished in a stylish black color scheme with white striping and black leather seats. The R 1200 C gained worldwide fame through its appearance in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, in which Pierce Brosnan as James Bond experiences a spectacular chase scene on a BMW R 1200 C. Thanks to this film role, the motorcycle grew into one of the most recognizable BMW models from that era. Due to its distinctive design, comfortable riding characteristics, and special connection with the James Bond films, the R 1200 C has now secured a place among modern classics. In particular, early and original 1998 models are loved by collectors and enthusiasts of characterful BMW motorcycles.
