BMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines and produced their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat-twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. The basic engine layout is nearly 100 years old, with BMW Boxers still amongst the most desirable and best-selling bikes in the world today. BMW launched the R1200C in 1997 with a timely promotional placement of the bike in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. The custom-style flat twin was one of four BMW motorcycles in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City in 1998.
This standard and original R1200C, showing just 16,718 miles on the clock, is fitted with BMWs distinctive tele-lever front suspension together with its single-sided swingarm and comes equipped with a dual seat and BMW screen. Part of an enthusiast’s small private collection it now become too heavy for him to enjoy. The bike is supplied with its original owner’s manual, a few old receipts, numerous old MOT certificates and a current V5C.
