The BMW R850R and R850C, launched in 1999, were iconic motorcycles that represented a shift in BMW's design philosophy, moving away from the traditional air-cooled boxer engine towards a more modern, liquid-cooled design. Both models featured the new 850cc, air/oil-cooled, 90° boxer twin engine producing a robust 75 horsepower and 67 Nm of torque. This engine, coupled with the robust double-loop tubular steel frame, formed the backbone of these middleweight motorcycles. The R850R, the sportier of the two, was designed for tarmac carving with its low-slung riding position and sporty styling. It was equipped with a telescopic fork and a rear monoshock suspension setup, providing a comfortable and controlled ride. On the other hand, the R850C, a cruiser with a more laid-back riding position, was designed for comfortable long-distance touring. It featured a more upright riding position, a generous seat, and a larger windscreen for added wind protection. Both models, despite their different riding styles, offered the same level of reliability and build quality that BMW motorcycles are known for. The R850R and R850C were popular choices for riders seeking a balance of performance and comfort. They provided a unique combination of effortless power delivery, forgiving handling, and a comfortable riding experience, making them suitable for both everyday commutes and weekend adventures. The R850R and R850C were successful models for BMW, paving the way for a new era of liquid-cooled boxer engines and establishing a new standard for middleweight motorcycles in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
