BMW R1200 C (1996-97)
The BMW R1200 C is a motorcycle model that was produced from 1996 to 2004. It was designed by BMW’s in-house team headed by David Robb. The R1200 C was a cruiser style motorcycle that was developed with the American market in mind. It featured a unique design that blended classic elements with modern styling. The bike’s most distinctive design element was the large, swept-back handlebars that put the rider in a more comfortable, more upright riding position. The R1200 C was powered by an air-cooled, boxer-style engine that produced 61 horsepower and 72 lb-ft of torque. The bike had a top speed of around 115 mph. It also had a number of innovative features for a cruiser, including a single-sided swingarm, a shaft drive, and an advanced ABS system.
The bike’s production run was relatively short and it was only produced in limited numbers. This has made it a somewhat rare and sought-after model among collectors and fans of BMW motorcycles. Today, the R1200 C is considered a cult classic and it is still beloved by many riders for its distinctive style and smooth, comfortable ride. While it may not have been the most popular or successful motorcycle model produced by BMW, the R1200 C remains an important part of the company’s history and legacy.
