The BMW R 850 C, a cruiser motorcycle produced by BMW Motorrad from 1997 to 2004, marked a significant departure from the brand's traditional focus on sport touring and adventure bikes. This model, designed with comfort and style in mind, offered a unique blend of classic cruiser aesthetics and BMW's renowned engineering prowess. The R 850 C's signature features included a low-slung, chrome-laden design with a raked front fork, a spacious rider triangle, and a comfortable passenger seat. Notably, it was the first BMW motorcycle to feature a vertically-mounted, liquid-cooled boxer engine, a radical departure from the horizontally-opposed engine design that defined the brand's identity. This engine, displacing 850cc, delivered ample power and torque, making the R 850 C a capable cruiser for both urban and highway riding. Beyond its striking design and robust engine, the R 850 C boasted a host of innovative features. It incorporated a shaft drive system, eliminating the need for a chain and offering low maintenance and enhanced durability. Additionally, the bike featured a telescopic front fork with a single shock absorber at the rear, providing a smooth and controlled ride. Available in various trims, including the R 850 C, R 850 C Comfort, and R 850 C Classic, the model catered to diverse rider preferences. While the R 850 C aimed to capture the cruiser market, its distinct BMW heritage and sophisticated engineering gave it a unique character within the segment. The R 850 C represented a bold attempt by BMW to venture into a new market segment, successfully attracting a new generation of riders while retaining the brand's core values of quality, performance, and innovation.
