Description from the seller
The BMW R 1200 C is a distinctive cruiser introduced by BMW Motorrad in the late 1990s. With this model, BMW entered a market traditionally dominated by American cruisers. The R 1200 C stood out thanks to its unique styling, high-quality finish, and the characteristic BMW boxer engine.
The motorcycle is powered by an air-cooled 1,170 cc twin-cylinder Boxer engine producing around 61 hp. The engine delivers strong low-end torque and is known for its smooth running and reliability. In combination with shaft drive, the R 1200 C offers comfortable and low-maintenance riding pleasure.
The chassis is designed with comfort and stability as priorities. The bike features BMW’s characteristic Telelever front suspension, which provides stable handling and reduces dive during braking. The low seat height, relaxed riding position, and wide handlebars make the R 1200 C particularly suitable for touring.
This example is finished in a stylish beige color scheme with blue leather seats and bags that perfectly match the elegant character of the model. The R 1200 C gained worldwide recognition from 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 became one of the most recognizable BMW models of that era.
Due to its distinctive design, comfortable riding characteristics, and special connection with the James Bond films, the R 1200 C has earned a permanent place among modern classics. Early and original specimens from 1998 are especially beloved by collectors and enthusiasts of characterful BMW motorcycles.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
