AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered without a reserve price:
The BMW R 1200 C is a remarkable cruiser that BMW Motorrad introduced in the late 1990s. With this model, BMW entered a market traditionally dominated by American cruisers. The R 1200 C distinguished itself by its unique design, high-quality finish, and the characteristic BMW boxer engine.
The engine is powered by a air-cooled 1,170 cc twin-cylinder boxer engine with a power output of around 61 hp. The unit delivers a lot of torque at low revs and is known for its smooth running and reliability. In combination with the shaft drive, the R 1200 C offers comfortable and low-maintenance riding pleasure.
The chassis is designed with comfort and stability as the guiding principles. The bike features BMW's distinctive Telelever front suspension, which provides stable steering behavior and limited dive during braking. The low seat height, relaxed riding position, and wide bars make the R 1200 C particularly suitable for touring.
This example is finished in a stylish black color scheme with white striping and black leather seats. The R 1200 C gained worldwide fame through 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 grew into one of the most recognizable BMW models from that era.
Due to its distinctive design, comfortable riding characteristics, and special connection with the James Bond films, the R 1200 C has now secured a place among modern classics. In particular, early and original 1998 models are loved by collectors and enthusiasts of characterful BMW motorcycles.
Condition:
The BMW R 1200 C Cruiser is in fine, original condition and starts and runs well. The motorcycle’s maintenance history is not known. Signs of use and oxidation, please examine the photos closely. Chrome on the wheels is mediocre and there is a light dent in the tank. Paintwork and further chrome work are in neat condition.

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.
