The BMW R850R and R850C, released in 1998, were a pair of naked and cruiser motorcycles respectively, marking a significant departure from BMW's traditional air-cooled boxer engine design. These models embraced a new era of liquid-cooled technology, with a 850cc, 90° boxer twin engine. This innovative powerplant delivered a smooth and powerful ride, boasting an impressive 75 horsepower and 66 lb-ft of torque. The R850R, with its sport-oriented design, offered a dynamic and engaging riding experience, while the R850C, featuring a more relaxed riding position and classic cruiser styling, appealed to those seeking comfort and style. Both models were equipped with a 5-speed gearbox and a shaft drive, ensuring a reliable and efficient power transmission. Beyond the engine, the R850 models also showcased BMW's commitment to technological advancements. Features such as a digital instrument cluster, a telescopic front fork, and a single-sided swingarm with a monoshock rear suspension, provided exceptional handling and comfort. These features, along with the sleek and modern aesthetics, made the R850R and R850C highly desirable motorcycles. They were praised for their versatility, offering a comfortable ride for touring, yet capable of handling spirited rides on winding roads. These motorcycles were also popular among enthusiasts who appreciated the reliability and durability associated with the BMW brand. While they were produced for only a few years, the R850R and R850C left a lasting legacy in BMW's motorcycle lineup, paving the way for future generations of liquid-cooled boxer-engined motorcycles.
