Looks great. Rides better.Front suspension control is provided by BMW’s famous Telelever system, with its unique anti-dive properties. It’s mounted to a cast-aluminum front-frame section. A Monolever adjustable suspension, alloy hub and wire wheel bring up the rear, soaking up bumps without altering your line in the turns. What you’ve got with this combination is superb handling unmatched by any of the competition.The R 1200 C has plenty of style, but what distinguishes it is how it rides. It’s the only cruiser with ABS. It’s got digital electronic fuel injection. At 565 pounds, it’s lighter than any other premium cruiser. This all adds up to a cruiser that doesn’t have to make apologies as a motorcycle. It’s 100 percent BMW.BMW handling. In a class not known for it.Are all of your roads perfectly smooth? Or do you ride in the “real world”? With the R 1200 C, you can carve up the corners with the sport bikes. The trade-mark BMW Boxer twin provides a low center of gravity for excellent balance, even at low speeds. Here is a cruiser for riding, not posing.Laid back and fast forward at the same time. Details matter.Small touches will take you a long way with the R 1200 C. Its t h ree-position folding backrest is upholstered in leather to match the saddle. Beautiful, but not without function – it s u pports the rider’s lower back while providing a sturdy base for stowing gear. And it can convert into your passenger’s seat at the twist of a lever.In addition, the R 1200 C’s controls can be individually adjusted to become a virtual extension of your body. The clutch and brake levers each have four different settings. Another nice detail: a single key takes care of the ignition, gas cap lock and steering column lock.Making it “yours.”Opportunities are endless to individualize your ride. It all begins with a choice of Classic plus three special editions, seven exterior finishes and three complementary colors of leather for the saddle and handgrips. Speaking of handgrips, you’ve got a choice (installed by your retailer) of straight handlebars, Euro sport bars or the stand a rd touring bars. And heated grips are even standard on the R 1200 C Montana.Optional chrome engine bars not only protect the beloved multi-valve Boxer engine, they also double as highway pegs for comfortable long-distance riding. And there are many other options and accessories specially designed for the R 1200 C, from luggage systems to windshields to a large passenger seat and grabrail, to name just a few.Special rider’s gear.The BMW-designed Cruiser Collection is a superb selection of gear for rider and passenger, men and women, that extends, literally, from head to toe and adds considerably to the passion, comfort and safety of every ride. See your BMW Motorc y c l e Retailer for details.Special editions.Go even farther with one of the R 1200 C special editions. The popular Euro is back with a gleaming coat of Ice Blue Metallic or Dust Metallic paint. It has special driving lights, engine protection bars, a speedster windshield, a European seat cover and blacked-out drivetrain components. The cro w n i n g touch is the “grafitan” finish on all the right parts, fro m the engine to the shaft drive and even to the taillamp housing. The Stiletto is a limited edition “stre e t -fighter” version of the Euro, finished in Night Black.The Montana gives the R 1200 C more of a touring touch. It has custom leather lockable saddlebags, a raised windshield, heated grips and an extra-large passenger seat. The special edition Phoenix, with its vivid two-tone Mandarin and Graphite paint scheme, has BBS sport alloy wheels with stainless steel rims, a small speedster windscreen, solo seat, halogen driving lights and special chrome highlights.Sending all the Boxer’s torque to the rear wheel is the renowned BMW shaft drive. It’s big, durable and virtually maintenance-free.The extended Monolever rear suspension minimizes shaft-drive effect, while creating a long, stable and very comfort-able wheelbase.ABS II anti-lock disc brakes are standard – it’s the only cruiser with this feature. Dual 12-inch discs with four-piston calipers up front and an 11.2-inch disc in the back mean stopping fast. And with control.Controls can be individually adjusted to become a virtual extension of your body. The clutch and brake levers each have four diff e rent settings. And with three special editions, plus a complete line of accessories, it’s easy to make it “yours.”MSRP: $14,590.00 Engine:Type: Air/oil-cooled 4-stroke opposed-twin.
