The BMW R1200C was a cruiser motorcycle made by BMW Motorrad from 1997 to 2004, and BMW built 40,218 units including the smaller-engined R850C, produced from 1997 to 2000. It was BMW's attempt to tap into the cruiser market, designed by BMW head designer David Robb with a cruiser riding posture and a passenger seat that could fold up to become a driver backrest at three angles, adjustable while riding. It was first promoted in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies and was one of four BMW motorcycles in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 1998. BMW ended the line because its 1,170 cc, 61 hp (45 kW) engine no longer suited market tastes and no suitable engine was available for further development; a final Montauk special edition of 350 units was presented in 2004.
