In 2005, the President of BMW Motorrad (Dr. Herbert Diess) killed off the R1200C (the company’s first attempt at a cruiser) after 8 years of production and 40,000 examples. His reasoning was that the 1,200cc boxer engine wasn’t big enough to compete: “since the trend in the cruiser segment has now been pointing far beyond 1,400 cc for quite some time, a Cruiser in its former, classic style with a smaller engine would no longer fit into our concept for the future. But this does not mean that we are turning away from the cruising philosophy with BMW motorcycles once and for all. On the contrary, it would be quite conceivable for us to re-interpret this theme quite differently some time or another.”

So that’s what they did, and they truly embraced the boxer motor with a giant 1,800cc engine. The air-/oil-cooled pushrod twin uses twin cams and four-valve heads to produce 116 ft-lbs of torque at just 3,000 rpm.

For the initial year of production, BMW offered a “First Edition” package which dramatically changes the style thanks to Light White double pinstriping on the Black Storm Metallic paint, a seat emblem, and a whole lot of chrome: “First Edition” logo on the side cover, brake calipers, hand/foot levers, bar ends, brake/clutch master cylinders, intake pipe covers, engine front cover, and the cylinder head covers.

This example is VIN: WB10L1300M6D45413. The seller is the original owner, he purchased it new from New Century BMW in Alhambra, California in November of 2020.

The odometer shows 518 miles.
