BMW R1200C Classic

Our Review

Reviewed: by Visordown
BMW 2003 Press Kit: When the R1200C cruiser was introduced in 1997 it flouted convention. BMW had taken an alternative motorcycling concept and refined it.

Contrary to the comment by Visordown, the R1200C can be wheelied, as demonstrated by French stunt God Jean Pierre Goy, who incidentally was Pierce Brosnans rstunt riding double in the James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies.

Come on Visor Down - Just because you couldn't wheelie the bike doesn't mean no one else can.
