I've been thinking about one too.

Sadly not all come with a chick.

Not a popular bike, and way underpowered. Definitely NOT a typical BMW. My 2004 K1200GT will smoke a stock Rocket.

It does have a coolness factor to it. I like the stance.

Send it to me, I'm sure I can fix that problem with a little time and a little money

I don't think you could do much with a 1200c, if that's what you meant, I think they only make around 60 hp, or something ridiculous like that. They were targeted at HD riders, who passed, BMW guys had no interest either. BMW's Edsel

Loved these until I rode one.

I know what you mean. I was Jonesing for a white one for a few years too. Test rode several and did some research. Sadly it is a bad design even though it is a beauty. Many BMW mechanics refuse to work on it. It is poorly designed and underbilt. Low power poor reliability. Bad frames. Great museum piece.

Exactly!
Accurate report on that ol' James Bond Beemer, Bill.
Twas 93 in Leaky yesterday.
Power out, wind, rain and 45 today.

R1200C is iconic design imho. It can be modified by using parts from R1150 (throttle bodies, cams, etc) up to 95-100hp. Not sure it is worth the effort but many people did it. check chromeheads.org
