BMWR1200C 2000 - 2001

　　The BMW R1200C was introduced by BMW in 1997 as a cruiser-styled motorcycle and was manufactured until 2004. It was made in over 40,200 units, including a smaller displacement model under the R850C designation, produced from 1997 to 2000.

　　In 2000, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200C, a cruiser machine in its fourth consecutive production year that came with several modifications compared to previous ones.

　　The 2000 model brought into the spotlight several changes, such as new color configurations, a black-finished engine, and some upgraded components, such as an adjustable rear hydraulic shock, electronic ignition, and fuel injection.

　　In the visual department, the bike remained unchanged, packing the same standard features, such as a round headlight upfront, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat with the passenger seat foldable into a rider backrest, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.

　　The motorcycle was built around a three-section composite frame with a BMW Motorrad Telelever suspension system on the front and a BMW Motorrad Paralever suspension system on the rear.

　　The braking power was achieved by two 305 mm brake discs mounted on the front wheel and a 285 mm brake disc mounted on the rear wheel. The front rotors were coupled to four-piston calipers, while the rear was tied to a two-piston caliper.

　　The power of the 2000 BMW R1200C came from a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivered 61 hp at 5,000 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.
