For sale I have a beautiful 2001 model BMW R1200C, R-Series motorcycle. I am the second owner of this bike and purchased it from the dealer who sold it to it's original owner. It has been well cared for and always kept in a garage, but does have normal wear and tear. As far as I know, it's never been dropped, and it has no dents, dings or significant scratches. It currently has 22,881 miles on it, barely broken in for a BMW. BMW manufactured one and only one cruiser style motorcycle and it was the R1200C/R850C and it was only made from the years 1997-2004. This particular model is an elite motorcycle compared to nearly any other motorcycle made. Everything on this motorcycle speaks for it's reliable performance with BMWs flare of unique, classy styling. From it's ABS dual disc brakes, heated grips, single sided swing-arm, drive shaft driven rear wheel, dual exhaust, quick disconnect BMW saddle bags, windscreen, tele-lever front suspension all the way down to it's sleek chrome on blue design and the list goes on and on. The bike has a brand new battery and the tires are practically new with very little wear. The bike comes with many extras: 1 - Windshield 2 - AeroFlow AeroGards (They are designed to direct air away from the legs and torso and help maintain the integrity of the fairing's envelope of protection). A "must-have" for long distance rides, higher speeds and 2-up riding. ($190 value) 3 - AeroFlow Hand Guards - help keep wind and rain off your hands. A must have for cold weather riding. ($115 value) 4 - Engine guards 5 - Oversize saddlebags ($660 value) 6 - Chrome floorboards ($325 value) 7 - Throttlemeister cruise control 8 - Stock foot pegs included 9 - Heated hand grips 10 - Chrome oil fill cap 11 - BMW trickle charger 12 - extra helmet lock on handlebars The bike runs beautifully, rides smoothly, is very well balanced and extremely comfortably. I have a clear title to the bike. IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE READ!!!

From 1997 to 2004, BMW manufactured 40,218 units, including a smaller engine version, the R850C, which was produced from 1997 to 2000.[1] The R1200C was BMW's attempt to tap into this market, and was a significant departure from their previous endeavors. The R1200C was designed by BMW head designer David Robb,[2] featuring a cruiser riding posture. From its inception, the R1200C featured a passenger seat that could fold up to become a driver backrest with three different angles, adjustable while riding. BMW first released the R1200C with an advance promotional placement of the motorcycle in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.[citation needed] The R1200C was one of four BMW motorcycles featured in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City in 1998 (List of shown motorcycles).
