Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, August 2002 ...

Some individuals think about a six-day cruise as the proper trip. Different's would possibly agree, so long as the times are marked by blurred fence posts and dotted strains as a substitute of palm bushes and ocean waves. For them, BMW introduces the proper various to a deck chair - the R 1200 CL.

Motorcyclists had been stunned when BMW launched its first cruiser in 1997, however the R 1200 C rapidly rose to develop into that 12 months's best-selling BMW. The unique has since spawned a number of derivatives together with the Phoenix, Euro, Montana and Stiletto. This 12 months, BMW's cruiser kinds the premise for essentially the most radical departure but, the R 1200 CL. With its normal integral onerous saddlebags, high field and distinctive handlebar-mounted fairing, the CL represents twin-cylinder luxury-touring at its best, a totally trendy luxurious touring-cruiser with a contact of basic BMW.

Though based mostly on the R 1200 C, the brand new CL consists of quite a few key modifications in chassis, drivetrain, gear and look, particularly designed to reinforce the R 1200's skills as a long-distance mount. Whereas it makes use of the identical torquey, 1170cc 61-hp model of BMW's extremely profitable R259 twin, the CL backs it with a six-speed overdrive transmission. A reworked Telelever will increase the bike's rake for more-relaxed high-speed steering, whereas the fork's wider spacing offers room for the sculpted double-spoke, 16-inch wheel and 150/80 entrance tire. Equally, a strengthened Monolever rear suspension controls an identical 15-inch alloy wheel and 170/80 rear tire. As you'd count on, triple disc brakes that includes BMW's newest EVO entrance brake system and absolutely built-in ABS carry the bike to a halt at day's end-and set the CL aside from another luxurious cruiser in the marketplace.

But regardless of all of the chassis modifications, it is the brand new CL's visible assertion that represents the bike's largest break with its cruiser-mates. With its grip-to-grip sweep, the handlebar-mounted fairing evokes basic touring bikes, whereas the CL's distinctive quad-headlamps give the bike a decidedly avant-garde look - along with offering standard-setting illumination. A pair of frame-mounted lowers extends the fairing's wind protection and offers area for a few of the CL's electrics and the non-obligatory stereo. The instrument panel is exceptionally clear, surrounded by a matte grey background that matches the kneepads inset within the fairing extensions. The speedometer and tachometer flank a panel of warning lights, capped by the usual analog clock. Built-in mirror/turnsignal pods lengthen from the fairing to offer additional wind safety. Lastly, absolutely built-in, color-matched saddlebags mix with a typical high field to offer a steamer trunk's baggage capability.

The CL's using place blends parts of each tourer and cruiser, starting with a reassuringly low, 29.Three-inch seat peak. The seat itself contains two elements, a rider portion with an integral lower-back relaxation, and a taller passenger perch that features a normal backrest constructed into the highest field. Heated seats, first seen on the Ok 1200 LT, are additionally accessible for the CL to enrich the usual heated grips. A broad, flat handlebar locations these grips a snug attain away, and the CL's floorboards enable the rider to shift place simply with out compromising management. Commonplace cruise management helps soften the miles on lengthy freeway stints. A handy heel/toe shifter makes for easy gearchanges whereas including precisely the proper basic contact.

The R 1200 CL backs up its cruiser origins with the identical very good consideration to cosmetics as is proven within the purposeful particulars. Along with the superbly completed bodywork, the luxurious cruiser boasts an assortment of chrome highlights, together with valve covers, exhaust system, saddlebag latches and body panels, with an non-obligatory equipment so as to add much more brightwork. Accessible colours embody Pearl Silver Metallic, Capri Blue Metallic and Mojave Brown Metallic, this final with a selection of black or brown saddle (different colours function black).

The R 1200 CL Engine: Gearing For The Lengthy Haul

BMW's latest tourer begins with a stable foundation-the 61-hp R 1200 C engine. The unique, 1170cc cruiser powerplant blends a broad powerband and instantaneous response with a wholesome, 72 lb.-ft. of torque. Like its forebear, the brand new CL offers its peak torque at 3000 rpm-exactly the type of energy supply for a touring twin. Motronic MA 2.four engine administration ensures that this Boxer blends this accessible energy with long-term reliability and minimal emissions, whereas on the identical time eliminating the choke lever for full push-button simplicity. In fact, the MoDiTec diagnostic function makes sustaining the CL each bit so simple as the opposite members of BMW's steady.

Whereas tourers and cruisers place related calls for on their engines, a touring bike sometimes operates by a wider pace vary.

The improved design of this transmission can be adopted by different Boxer-twins all through the approaching 12 months.

The CL Chassis: Wheeled Baggage By no means Labored This Nicely

Each bit as distinctive because the CL's Boxer-twin drivetrain is the bike's chassis, main off-literally and figuratively-with BMW's standard-setting Telelever entrance suspension. The CL's setup is an identical in idea and performance to the R 1200 C's fork, however shares nearly no elements with the earlier cruiser's. The tourer's wider, 16-inch entrance wheel referred to as for wider-set fork tubes, so the highest triple clamp, fork bridge, fork tubes and axle have all been revised, and the axle has switched to a full-floating design. The aluminum Telelever itself has been additional reworked to offer a barely extra raked look, which additionally creates a extra relaxed steering response for improved straight-line stability. The entrance shock has been re-angled and its spring and damping charges modified to accommodate the brand new bike's suspension geometry, however is in any other case just like the unique R 1200 C's damper.

Bolted to those wheels are bigger disc brakes (12.Zero-inch entrance, 11.2-inch rear), with the most recent version of BMW's standard-setting EVO brakes. A pair of four-piston calipers cease the entrance wheel, paired with a two-piston unit-adapted from the Ok 1200 LT-at the rear. In line with the bike's touring orientation, the brand new CL consists of BMW's newest, absolutely built-in ABS, which actuates each entrance and rear brakes by both the entrance hand lever or the rear brake pedal.

The CL Bodywork: Dressed To The Nines

Though all these mechanical modifications make sure that the brand new R 1200 CL works like no different luxurious cruiser, it is the bike's styling and bodywork that actually set it aside. Starting with the bike's handlebar-mounted fairing, the CL seems to be like nothing else on the street, however it's the purposeful attributes that show its price. The broad sweep of the fairing emphasizes its aerodynamic form, which offers most wind safety with a minimal of buffeting. 4 headlamps, with their horizontal/vertical orientation, give the CL its distinctive face and in addition create the perfect illumination outdoors of a baseball stadium (the high-beams are borrowed from the GS).

The M-shaped windshield, with its dipped middle part, produces distinctive wind safety but nonetheless permits the rider to look over the clear-plastic defend when rain or street dust obscure the view. Equally, clear extensions on the fairing's decrease edges enhance wind safety even additional however nonetheless enable an unobstructed view ahead for maneuvering in extraordinarily shut quarters.

Complementing the fairing, each visually and functionally, the frame-mounted lowers divert the wind blast across the rider to offer additional climate safety. Openings vent heat air from the frame-mounted twin oil-coolers and direct the warmth away from the rider. As famous earlier, the lowers additionally home the electronics for the bike's non-obligatory alarm system and cruise management. A pair of 12-volt accent shops are normal.

Just like the Ok 1200 LT, the brand new R 1200 CL features a capacious baggage system as normal, all of it color-matched and designed to accommodate rider and passenger for the lengthy haul. The completely hooked up saddlebags embody clamshell lids that enable for straightforward loading and unloading. Chrome bumper strips defend the saddlebags from minor tipover injury. The highest field offers extra safe baggage area, or it may be merely unbolted to uncover a gorgeous aluminum baggage rack. An non-obligatory backrest will be bolted on instead of the highest field. In fact, saddlebags and high field are lockable and keyed to the ignition change.

Choices & Equipment: Extra Private Than A Monogram

Given BMW's conventional emphasis on touring choices and the cruiser proprietor's typical calls for for personalisation, it is solely logical to count on a spread of equipment and choices for the corporate's first luxurious cruiser. The CL fulfills these expectations with a myriad of choices and equipment, starting with heated or velour-like Gentle Contact seats and a low windshield.
