– 2000 BMW R1200C

It’d be downright disrespectful (not to mention wrong) to call BMW’s R 1200 C just a cruiser. No cruiser you’ve been on handles with this much precision. Fuel-injection technology and sheer brute force pump out 71 lb.-ft of torque. An agile anti-dive Telelever front suspension soaks up the bumps. While antilock brakes deliver quick, controlled stopping power. It’s more than just a cruiser. A lot more. And you’ve got to respect that.
