The BMW R1200C was a cruiser-styled motorcycle made by BMW as a competitor to the American brand Harley-Davidson. The Motorcycle was manufactured from 1997 until 2004 in over 40,200 units.
In addition to the standard model, the German bike maker released other base model versions with different characteristics and designations. One of them was the BMW R1200CL, which debuted in 2002.
Compared to the standard model, the R1200CL came with a full fairing, a tachometer and analog-style clock, an extended rake, larger alloy wheels, two additional vertically-stacked high-beam headlights, and cruise control.
In 2005, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200CL, a more touring-oriented version of the base model that featured the same specifications as previous models without changes.
The bike's aesthetic department was characterized by standard fittings, such as a large front cowl with four round headlights, an M-shaped windscreen, hand guards, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat with a rider backrest, side-mounted panniers, a top box with a passenger backrest, a dual exhaust system, and five-spoke alloy wheels.
The 2005 BMW R1200CL had its soul brought to life by a 1,170cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled boxer engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 61 hp with a peak force at 5,000 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.
