Produced from 1997 to 2004, the R1200C was BMW’s attempt to break into the cruiser market, where European and Japanese marques were making in-roads after years of American dominance. The R1200C proved successful – around 40,000 were produced and it had a strong cultural impact; one was used in a chase in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies and another was selected for the 1998 Art of the Motorcycle exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum. The work of BMW’s American chief designer David Robb, it utilised an 1170cc flat-twin which produced 61bhp, plus a five-speed manual gearbox, hydraulic clutch and shaft-drive. The front suspension used BMW’s Telelever system, and braking was by twin discs at the front and single disc at the rear.
With seven owners and just 26,000 miles from new, this 1999 R1200C is rightly described by its vendor as “very good” in all areas. It is a pleasingly well-preserved and original example which has clearly always been looked after. It has been kept in near-continuous use with occasional stints of two years or so off the road, and indeed it has only recently been revived after enjoying a rest since 2023. It has been freshly issued with an MOT with no advisories which remains valid until September, 2026, and is supplied with the current V5C.
