Auf herrlich gewundenen Küsten- oder Passstraßen die Lust und das lockere Spiel zwischen Schwerkraft und Fliehkraft zu erleben. Zu erleben wie von Kilometer zu Kilometer die positiven Gefühle intensiver werden - hyperlinks, rechts, hyperlinks - Landschaften und Gedanken dahin gleiten... bald schon jene Augenblicke kommen, wo die Enge der Zivilisation der überwältigenden Szenerie der Natur Platz macht und beruhigende Geräusche des Motors und Formen verschmelzen...

Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, August 2002 ...

Some individuals think about a six-day cruise as the right 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 timber and ocean waves. For them, BMW introduces the right various to a deck chair - the R 1200 CL.

Motorcyclists have been stunned when BMW launched its first cruiser in 1997, however the R 1200 C shortly 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 types the idea for essentially the most radical departure but, the R 1200 CL. With its normal integral onerous saddlebags, prime 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 adjustments in chassis, drivetrain, tools and look, particularly designed to boost the R 1200's talents 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 gives 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 anticipate, triple disc brakes that includes BMW's newest EVO entrance brake system and totally built-in ABS carry the bike to a halt at day's end-and set the CL aside from some other luxurious cruiser in the marketplace.

But regardless of all of the chassis adjustments, it is the brand new CL's visible assertion that represents the bike's greatest 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 gives area for among the CL's electrics and the elective 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, totally built-in, color-matched saddlebags mix with an ordinary prime field to offer a steamer trunk's baggage capability.

The CL's driving place blends components of each tourer and cruiser, starting with a reassuringly low, 29.Three-inch seat peak. The seat itself includes 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 Okay 1200 LT, are additionally obtainable for the CL to enrich the usual heated grips. A broad, flat handlebar locations these grips a cushty attain away, and the CL's floorboards enable the rider to shift place simply with out compromising management. Normal cruise management helps soften the miles on lengthy freeway stints. A handy heel/toe shifter makes for easy gearchanges whereas including precisely the fitting basic contact.

The R 1200 CL backs up its cruiser origins with the identical excellent consideration to cosmetics as is proven within the practical particulars. Along with the fantastically completed bodywork, the posh cruiser boasts an assortment of chrome highlights, together with valve covers, exhaust system, saddlebag latches and body panels, with an elective equipment so as to add much more brightwork. Accessible colours embrace Pearl Silver Metallic, Capri Blue Metallic and Mojave Brown Metallic, this final with a alternative of black or brown saddle (different colours characteristic 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 gives 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 similar time eliminating the choke lever for full push-button simplicity. After all, the MoDiTec diagnostic characteristic makes sustaining the CL each bit so simple as the opposite members of BMW's secure.

Whereas tourers and cruisers place related calls for on their engines, a touring bike sometimes operates by a wider pace vary. Consequently, the R 1200 CL mates this acquainted engine to a brand new, six-speed transmission. The primary 5 gear ratios are much like the unique R 1200's, however the sixth gear gives a big overdrive, which drops engine pace effectively below 3000 rpm at 60 mph. This vary of gearing means the CL can handle both responsive in-town working or relaxed freeway cruising with equal finesse, and locations the posh cruiser proper within the coronary heart of its powerband at touring speeds for easy roll-on passes.

As well as, the brand new transmission has been totally massaged internally, with re-angled gear tooth that present extra overlap for quieter working. Shifting is likewise improved by way of a revised inside shift mechanism that produces smoother, extra exact gearchanges. Lastly, the brand new transmission design is lighter (roughly 1 kg.), which helps maintain the CL's weight right down to a good 679 lbs. (moist). The improved design of this transmission will likely be adopted by different Boxer-twins all through the approaching 12 months.

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

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 much like the unique R 1200 C's damper.

Equally, the R 1200 CL's Monolever rear suspension differs intimately, relatively than idea, from earlier BMW cruisers. Elevated reinforcing gives extra power on the shock mount, whereas a revised final-drive housing gives mounts for the brand new rear brake. However the main rear suspension change is a change to a shock with travel-related damping, much like that launched on the R 1150 GS Journey. This new shock not solely gives for a smoother, extra managed trip but in addition produces a further 20mm journey in comparison with the opposite cruisers, bringing the rear suspension journey to four.72 inches.

The Telelever and Monolever bolt to an ordinary R 1200 C entrance body that differs solely intimately from the unique. The rear subframe, nevertheless, is totally new, designed to accommodate the intensive baggage system and passenger seating on the R 1200 CL. Along with the completely affixed saddlebags, the bigger seats, flooring boards, prime field and new aspect stand all require new mounting factors.

All this new rolls on utterly restyled double-spoke wheels (16 x Three.5 entrance/15 x four.Zero rear) that carry wider, higher-profile (80-series) touring tires for a particularly easy trip. Bolted to those wheels are bigger disc brakes (12.Zero-inch entrance, 11.2-inch rear), with the newest 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 Okay 1200 LT-at the rear. Consistent with the bike's touring orientation, the brand new CL consists of BMW's newest, totally 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 adjustments be certain that the brand new R 1200 CL works like no different luxurious cruiser, it is the bike's styling and bodywork that basically set it aside. Starting with the bike's handlebar-mounted fairing, the CL seems to be like nothing else on the highway, nevertheless it's the practical attributes that show its price. The broad sweep of the fairing emphasizes its aerodynamic form, which gives 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 one of the best illumination exterior of a baseball stadium (the high-beams are borrowed from the GS).

The M-shaped windshield, with its dipped heart part, produces distinctive wind safety but nonetheless permits the rider to look over the clear-plastic defend when rain or highway filth 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. The turnsignal pods present additional wind protection, and on the similar time the integral mirrors give a transparent view to the rear.

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 elective alarm system and cruise management. A pair of 12-volt accent retailers are normal.

Just like the Okay 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 connected saddlebags embrace clamshell lids that enable for simple loading and unloading. Chrome bumper strips shield the saddlebags from minor tipover harm. The highest field gives extra safe baggage area, or it may be merely unbolted to uncover a lovely aluminum baggage rack. An elective backrest may be bolted on rather than the highest field. After all, saddlebags and prime 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 anticipate 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 Mushy Contact seats and a low windshield. Digital and communications choices similar to an AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise management and onboard communication could make time on the highway far more nice, whether or not you are out for a day trip or a cross-country trek - as a result of in spite of everything, no person says it's a must to be again in six days. Different obtainable digital options embrace an anti-theft alarm, which additionally disables the engine.

Equipment designed to personalize the CL even additional vary from beauty to sensible, however all adhere to BMW's conventional requirements for high quality and match.
