BMW R1200C Motorcycle background – popular racing motorcycle wallpapers

The BMW R1200C was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by BMW Motorrad from 1997 to 2004. BMW manufactured 40,218 units, including a smaller engine version, the R850C, which was produced from 1997 to 2000.

The R1200C was BMW’s attempt to tap into this market, and was a significant departure from their previous endeavors. The R1200C was designed by BMW head designer David Robb, featuring a cruiser riding posture. From its inception, the R1200C featured a passenger seat that could fold up to become a driver backrest with three different angles, adjustable while riding.

BMW first released the R1200C with an advance promotional placement of the motorcycle in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. The R1200C was one of four BMW motorcycles featured in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City in 1998.

When BMW ended production of the R1200C lineup, Dr. Herbert Diess, then President BMW Motorrad, cited a prime reason for discontinuing the bike was the apparent unsuitability of the 1,170 cc (71 cu in), 61 hp (45 kW) engine to then current market tastes and the unavailability of a suitable engine for further development, but did not rule out BMW pursuing a reinterpretation of the cruiser idea at a later date. In 2004 a final special model of the R1200C Montauk (sold as a 2005 model and registered as such)as a commemorative Montauk model was presented, of which 350 units were built. Only six of these units were shipped to North America, all six to the Canadian market. 4 into Ontario and 2 into Quebec. Since originally shipped to this market, one has been imported into the USA bmw wallpaper, motorcycle wallpaper, ktm motorcycle, Motorcycle wallpapers, ducati panigale

In one head to head comparison, MotorcycleUSA judged the Ninja 250R to be the better bike due to its superior speed and handling. The testers at Motorcycle Consumer News found the CBR250R to be the better choice, given the needs of its presumed prospective buyers in the US, beginners and those looking for a practical motorcycle for long commutes, though “if sheer performance is all you’re after” without regard for fuel efficiency, then the Ninja 250R might be preferable.
Production

The production model was unveiled in the Thailand International Motor Expo 2010 on November 27, 2010, Hong Kong’s Central District on November 28, 2010, and EICMA 2010

Global models of the CBR250R were produced by Thai Honda Manufacturing in Thailand, with sales beginning in November 2010, followed by spring 2011 in Japan. Indian and South America models were produced by Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) in India beginning in the spring of 2011 Motorcycle wallpapers#KawasakiMotorcycles #Ktm #Triumph #Triumph #MotorbikeWallpaper

Although this bike received solid reviews from testing magazines (and came to be the testers’ preferred 750 sport machine for the year), its release was an ill-timed duel against Honda’s all-new V4 engine in the form of the VF750 Interceptor. The 1983 GSX 750ES had air-adjustable anti-dive forks, preload and compression-adjustable rear mono-shock (“Full-Floater”), disc brakes at both ends, a fuel gauge and digital gear indicator.
