The BMW R850R and R850C were two distinct motorcycles launched by BMW Motorrad in 1998 and 2000 respectively, both built upon the same foundational platform. These models marked a shift in BMW's motorcycle design philosophy, moving away from the traditional air-cooled boxer engine to a more modern, liquid-cooled iteration. The heart of these bikes was the 850cc, air-oil-cooled, horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine, producing approximately 75 horsepower and 61 lb-ft of torque. The engine featured a fuel-injected system, making it more efficient and responsive than its air-cooled predecessors. The R850R, marketed as a sport-touring model, was characterized by its minimalist styling, lightweight construction, and nimble handling. It featured a low-slung seat and a sporty, upright riding position, making it suitable for both long-distance touring and spirited riding around town. On the other hand, the R850C, marketed as a cruiser, was designed to offer a more relaxed and comfortable riding experience. It featured a lower seat height, a more forward-leaning riding position, and a relaxed, laid-back design. Despite their differences, both the R850R and R850C were praised for their smooth and powerful engines, comfortable riding positions, and impressive handling capabilities. They offered a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and practicality, making them popular choices for both experienced riders and those new to the world of motorcycling. The R850R became a favorite among sport-touring enthusiasts for its versatility and performance, while the R850C appealed to riders who preferred a more relaxed and comfortable cruising experience. These models were a testament to BMW's ongoing commitment to innovation and quality, solidifying their position as a leading manufacturer of premium motorcycles. The R850 platform, with its advancements in engine design and overall performance, paved the way for future generations of BMW motorcycles, leading to an even wider range of models that continue to impress riders around the world.
