## The BMW R850 R/R850C: A Sporty and Comfortable Cruiser with Boxer Power The BMW R850 R and R850C, launched in 1999 and 2000 respectively, were two distinct motorcycles sharing the same robust and reliable 850cc air-cooled boxer engine. Both models aimed for a niche combination of sporty handling and comfortable cruising, catering to riders looking for a versatile machine capable of tackling winding roads and long-distance journeys. The R850R, with its naked styling, offered a more agile and sporty experience, while the R850C, featuring a sleek fairing and a more upright riding position, prioritized comfort and wind protection. Both bikes were equipped with the 850cc boxer engine, known for its smooth power delivery and distinctive sound. The engine featured a dual-plug ignition system for optimal combustion and a single-piece crankshaft for increased reliability. The telescopic front fork and single-sided swingarm rear suspension provided a smooth and controlled ride, complemented by the standard anti-dive system on the R850R. The R850C, in contrast, sported a more luxurious feel with its adjustable windscreen, comfortable seat, and integrated luggage system, offering a more relaxed and touring-oriented experience. Ultimately, both models offered a unique blend of performance and comfort, showcasing BMW's engineering prowess and attention to detail in creating motorcycles that were both enjoyable to ride and capable of tackling diverse riding scenarios.
