And the Word of the day is..."Thou shall not use thy lovely wife as click bait." LOL
She must help the business in these hard times.
@Coleman Ludlow piss of bots
Nunya Business yup definitely
True that….but, she may have been a rental….just for the thumbnail, or not.
Yeah, I saw that redhead and went in looking. Not right.
Who watched this to see the redhead?
I will admit to that.
It did catch my eye ,,, if life was a fair deal . Every man would have a crimson beauty to warm his cold bones in the winter, a blond for every spring, a American brunette for summer and the Fall, and a black haired ice cold Vixen on the side. You start feeling to emotional, caring about trivial things that men aut not think about , just find you a soulless red head ,she will bring out the mean in ya. Hahaha!.
Me.
🤟🏻
I did I have ginger fever
I owned a 1998 the original Bond bike for 5 yrs. What you forgot to mention was the handling. Out of all the cruisers I've owned it was the best handling. Extremely low centre of gravity, and excellent suspension. I put some Bub exhaust on it and it improve the sound dramatically.
I don't think BMW was trying to make an American style cruiser. They were making a German style cruiser. I happen to love the styling. Where I think they made a mistake was de-tuning the boxer motor and making it slow, for a BMW, anyway.
I would agree. I have one and love it. Has low-end grunt BUT... reaches some flat areas of acceleration at higher speeds. Still, great ride. Handles better than any cruiser I’ve been on. Very comfortable and gets looks (which I don’t care about... but people are curious due to it’s unique aesthetics and design)
I've owned, Harleys, Honda's and Yamaha's. Just picked one of these up and it is truly the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. It is actually fast, but in the European VS. American way. If you've ever driven a Mercedes of a BMW car, you'll know what I mean. It doesn't feel fast, but when you down at the speedometer you're already doing 60 in a 35 MPH zone. The acceleration is smooth and civilized and NOT loud. The sound makes a big difference to the brain, but the proof is in the numbers.
It's a cruiser so 0-60 in 5 seconds is really solid and comparable to anything else in the class.
Add to it that it is rare and cool looking, I think it looks like a custom bike with the long flat top tank, it's a winner in my book.
You just have to have the balls to want to stand out and not be one of the sheep.
Ol
The only thing my bike attracts is lots and lots of men telling me how nice it is and that's not what I was going for
Well OK LOL . Not me ether . If some long hair dud in a dress walks up to me wanting a ride . no ! I am gone in a flash . It is more likely a dud in a dress coming out of a gay bar asking a Harley rider for and ride and the rider takes him up on the deal . This is why I dont own Harleys .
I own a R1200CL full bagger version of same family. The C Models are vibe because the rider foot pegs are attached to the motor and they have a 5 speed transmission. Where as the CL models the floorboards mount into the frame and have 6 speed transmission. Best feature of these bikes is the braking system. At the time BMW ABS was light years ahead of HD, and other manufactures. Unfortunately not much demand for these bikes. I have 65,000 miles on mine, been coast to coast couple of times. Its been a great bike.
I had a ‘98 r1200c, awesome bike, 46k miles in two years and it was just a great bike. I worked part time at a BMW bike shop and would trade beer to the mechanic to do mods. Added heated grips, some fog lights, Fox shocks and a few other stuff. It was a little rough suspension wise and needed more power, but it was adequate.
I dont even ride a motorcycle.. I come to this channel because i get an awesome history lesson and usually a sweet story or something extremely cool. Sean and caleb and harrison(sorry if spelling wrong) keep killing gentlemen.
Trying to come up with the words to say something and the best I can do at this time is. I'd like to commend you on your strong morals and beliefs and your riding discipline. You're one of the only people that rides bikes and seems to respect others and understands we have rules for a reason. I love that God has a part in your everyday life and you have the courage and the faith in Him to share that with the world! American means so many things to different people but as an American that loves his country and the strong morals and beliefs of his ancestors thank you for doing your part as a Christian and an American to make us look good as a people and making motorcyclist look better as a whole! Kudos to you and your friends.
Chromeheads (C models) were ahead of their time. I have a super rare 2002 R1200CP (Phoenix) same as the one in this video sans luggage and a 1998 R1200C (Montana) black with white pin stripes with same key hard luggage. The yellow one has 8800 miles and the black one has under 50,000 miles (7000 since major overhaul and new clutch) with the maintenance records back to the day it was imported. Both my C bikes are in great shape and are for sale. Rumble On!
Have that same bike; such an amazing ride, totally different from any other I’ve ridden. Do a few hours on the bmw then switch to another bike and you’ll know!
Great opinions on all sorts of bikes from y’all- keep up the good work.
do you still have it? i regret selling mine. would buy it back.
Coolest feature is the rear seat, it can be used as a backrest if you put it up at 90 deg
Looking at that tank in your video brought back good memories. In 2000, I had a brand new R1200C Phoenix, and later, I bought a slightly used Montana (James Bond version that was cream with a blue seat and bags). The day I bought the Phoenix, I went to the dealership to look at a different bike. When I saw the Phoenix, I knew I had to have it. I totally regret selling it. Back then, it seemed it was ahead of its time, but still resembled a cafe bike. It had awesome BBS wheels and Brembo ABS. The engine guards/highway leg rests were a BMW accessory. There were three versions. Using them was scary. I also had rear accessory seats on both of mine. They all came with a driver back rest that flipped down and doubled as a small pillion seat. The Phoenix versions are hard to find and have held their value quite well. In Europe, the Phoenix was called the Independent, and was available in an 800cc version. It was available in a white and copper color combo. Later, bigger cruiser versions, CLC and Montauk were available. I believe production ended in 2004. I wish BMW would bring it back. The only thing that bothered me about the bike was how you had to maneuver your foot under the jug to use the shift lever.
I've owned a 98 classic now for almost two years. The one featured in the movie (1997) was the standard 1200c in Ivory. These would be dubbed "the original 1200c" or the 1200c Classic once the later variants released. Soft bags were an option, as was abs. There was no windscreen.
The Montana released in 2001 and had hard leather bags, a medium-ish sized windscreen, a full-size passenger seat, and higher handle bars as standard equipment along with abs.
The Phoenix released in 2001 and had a single seat, a cafe racer windscreen, fog lamps, two tone paint scheme, and mag wheels. Passenger seating accommodations were all options, as well as ABS.
The engine crash bars were indeed a BMW accessory and highly recommended. Mine doesn't have ABS (thankfully), and has given me 34k trouble free miles. I love it.
@@LynxStarAuto I had a Phoenix and a Montana. They were both 2001. I think I wrote 2000 in my original post as that’s when they were purchased. I know how both were equipped. I also bought the hard leather bags and he rear seat and seat pan for my Phoenix. I bought it because it looked more like a café racer. The engine bars were definitely standard with the Montana package. I sold my Phoenix and then bought the Montana a few years later, and I tried to make it look like the Phoenix. The Montana I bought originally belonged to one of my friends . I remember doing side-by-side comparisons while we were shopping for them. To me, the Phoenix was the best looking R1200C. It was known as the Independent in Europe and it was also available in brown and ivory there, along an 800cc version (or something like that). You’re right about the Bond version. It wasn’t a Montana. It was just the same color.
Hi guys I way h all your vlogs & Caleb is maybe too honest in his appraisal of the bikes being shown, if you purchased a 3 inch DA (dual action) polisher you'd get rid of all those minor scuff marks on the various bikes. I would practice on something first , & there are so many different polishing compounds out there, a mild one is usually good enough. Really enjoying your channel & well done to your team, especially Caleb for being so honest 👍👍😎
Except they just announced a large displacement bobber style cruiser...
And here I was hoping to see you rockin the beemer with the wife cuffed to you, Bond style through town... Hahaha... Awesome videos n business, brother! Much love from Arizona!
I own one of these, but the Classic version! Got it as my first bike. She's wonderful when she's running. But oh boy, when it's maintenance time.
9:18 you got it right the first time, "lookin at *ss" hahaha
I like watching your video`s a lot!!
I'd love one, but I'd be terrified of dropping/damaging it. What's the situation with DIY repairs/maintenance (+getting spare parts!) for one of these?
I grew up with this exact same bike ! My parents had one, with a back sit, for the last 15 years or so. Had to change it last year because it had too much electrical issues.
I'm so sad I never will be able to ride it, I LOVED so much riding it with my mum or dad. It's a very rare bike in France and we had one of them 😍
I had one for 5 years and used it daily. I couldn’t bear to see it start to rust from daily use and me being not being the type of guy to baby a bike. It was too beautiful to see it deteriorate and it deserved a better home.
I now regret selling it. I miss it.
Thought about whether or not I liked it or not. One up for sale, cream paintwork. Telelever front suspension is cool
Those engine guards are genuine BMW accessories, not aftermarket but maybe after sale. You have the ones with the "C" on them, not all of them have that if I recall correctly. Bikes Made Weird says Chris Harris.
Never thought I'd want a cruiser...but my goodness I need to get one of these in the stable as a 2nd bike. It's a work of art!
It's totally an art piece. Bond didn't add value to this. Instead, they had looked for a classy bike, Bond should have chosen, they found this.
I'd love to ride a beamer (1200c or something classic). WRT BMW's cruiser attempt with the 1200C, I'm curious to see how the new R18 sells.
Do you think a power Commander and a open flow exhaust system will Inject more power output into this grandma motor? After all it's an 1200 cc motor and you do expect a better power performance
Great question I don’t know
Bought my first set of your tie down straps today.
Awesome you will love them
I thought the bike was cool when it came out, I really like this one. Just a example of a great all around bike...
my dad (who lives on my same street) owns one of these when the one in the video started, I had to look out the window to see if it was his. It's got a very distinct sounding bike, especially cold starts.
That wasn't their only attempt at cruiser style. The k1600B came out a few years ago and still in production. There's also the soon to be in production r18
I’ve seen one of these turned into a cafe racer and it looked mental!
Talk about the new replacement for that ? It was just revealed this week- Huge motor - no electronics!!! Old School
The pillion flips up to become a backrest.
I have a 2004 and it's pure testosterone on the road, definitely a collector bike..
Wow!! I need to start my search!
Never seen one before, interesting engineering.
I bought a new R1200C in 2000 and rode it regularly for 17 years. Sold it after age and injuries made motorcycles a painful proposition. Definitely my favorite 2-wheeler and I have owned HD, BSA, Triumph, Honda and Yamaha over the years. Here’s the funny part. I really can’t give a good reason for my feelings about this bike. Many of the others were faster, some handled better. The HDs were definitely better eye-candy. It was comfortable to ride on long runs and there was just something cool about it. It drew a crowd everywhere I went on it.
i had the r1100s and after 5 years of owning it my wrists were in agony it vibrates but not noticable.
I want that bike. My first real bike was a 98 r1200c in black without ABS and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I couldn't afford the newer phoenix back then, but perhaps some day I'll find one and add it (when I have a bigger garage).
Words of wisdom…he said ADVANTAGE instead of ABUNDANCE…your not the only one who misreads…😊😊😊 love your vids…😍😍😍
Wondering if you can tell me the make of the crash bars with the foot rests, having a hard time finding a similar design
Hepco and Becker.
Rare because it was a dud when it came to sales...Dealers couldn't move them. Looks like when you were pointing out the emblem at the front, looks like drops of oil above the emblem-might want to check that....there are a few of these on cycletrader-any part of the country. Even though low miles, still quite higher than kbb blue book...
I love early 2000s BMWs, the Achilles is the electronic abs controller when that goes so goes the brakes. Super expensive to fix
Actually that is incorrect, the failure of abs does not mean brakes are gone. Fixing the abs on early models is 500 usb to rebuilt pump. Mine is 20 plus years old and still good!
I Ride a 2006 R1200GSs and my ABS is fine. No problems at all. If it goes out, you still have Brakes, just not ABS Brakes.
That BMW was referred to as a " Muscle Cruiser " by the motorcycle media . I always assumed that was BMW's take on it. I had a chance to pick one up right last summer but didnt. Kinda wish I had. It was that same Mustard Yellow too !
It’s no muscle cruiser
i ride the R1150r, the k bikes vibrate, not the boxer.
Now you need a Triumph Speed Triple to do Mission Impossible.
If you want to see some cool European cruisers try Moto Guzzi.
Man I Drool when I see the Speed Triple. Those are Great Looking Bikes.👍👍
It's the Man on the bike that makes the Bike...
One of my friends had one for a short time and I got to ride it from time to time, It was shaking so much that I had trouble to see the road! My 1981 1100cc naked Goldwing was a lot more pleasant to ride! ;-)
Came for the thumbnail, stayed because of the beard...
You said you wished the bike had a backrest it does the passenger seat flip's up to make a backrest
Awesome bike I have never seen one in the uk I would love one of those bikes on my own Do you know a dealer in the uk
It does have a backrest . The sback seat pad if yours have to swings up into a back rest .
Question, how tall are SRK? 6’4 myself, thinking about buying one, not sure it fits…
The "cages" are factory. Hepco Becker made some crash bars that allow a valve adjustment without the need to remove them to take the valve covers off. If you like symmetrical, buy a Bob Ross painting.
I put my feet up over the crash bars just like that on my BMW R1150GSA as soon as I hit the highway.
R1200R classic is the best. 100 horsepower and still has the awesome Telelever front end. Much much faster. And a real growl when opened up. The current R1200 s lack the Telelever and sales people try to tell you oh it's better. But it isn't on a windy mountain road especially 2 up not even close. Which is why they still have it on the uber expensive touring bike.
That bike is really nice. May look out for one.😎
It is definitely 'What an American bike SHOULD be like' - pleasurable to ride :)
BMW did a 500 scrambler that looked a bit like that about 5 years ago it didnt last long but it did look a cool bike.
Dude, I had a really similar bike, the BMW R1150 R (the big black naked one) that I bought new just after getting married almost twenty years ago. I kept it for seven years, longer than I've kept any bike, and only sold it because my old company transferred me overseas and wouldn't pay the transport to take the bike over. I wish I'd never sold it, it was a seriously, seriously good bike. It was incredibly comfortable, easy to ride, it had torque in abundance, was supremely well constructed, and it was a whole bunch of fun. I toured all over the South of France and all over Spain with my wife on the back, and enjoyed every minute of it. I tell you what else, it was surprisingly well handling as well. We went all round the twisting Pyrenees mountain roads, and it took it all in its stride. The Phoenix is a really similar package, and proves that being a gorgeously good looking bike is not at loggerheads with good handling and practicality.
Don’t forget K1600 B and Grand America.
By the way, some of these bikes back rest converts to drivers backrest.
I'm looking for a gl. 500 if you have one,let me know,
Words of Wisdom ..shaken not stirred ..Bond Jame Bond ! 😁
I own a 99 R1200C. It’s a terrific ‘me time’ bike
Hello there.. I wanted to get this.. Bike and one of the bmw motorad dealers asking for 11450 dollars.. Its got 10680 km on odometer.. What you think? Isn't it too high?
Lol yes way too much
The first time I saw one of these i did not think it was over 20 years old, now i really want it
is the r motor air cooled?
Great video
Look out for the new BMW R18 it is beautiful
Most BMW`s are to much tech for me, but this R18 is a nice looking bike and on the low tech side from what I understand.
Abundance or advantage?
Those BMW's were pretty cool.
Sean, what kind of riding boots do you wear?
Doc martins
I really like the looks of this bike.
Love the bike. Sean, can I trade in my 2017 FZ09 with 1600 miles on it, with this bike?
Hhhhhhmmmmm if your serious contact us at sales@srkcycles.com
You need to check out the BMW R18.
I think it looks really good!
SRK definition. Acceleration: the process of going to a higher speed.
Kinda weird ...kinda cool ....pretty much the description of this bike
I have this bike and was actually wanting to convert it into a cafe racer. What are your thoughts on this?
No keep it original
Rats~ I'm JUST seeing this 3yr-old post.. I'm sure by now that '01 BMW Phoenix has been sold. One thing, SRK, that I wanted to hear you comment on ( but only mentioned ) was how well or badly that small insignificant- looking windshield performed.
BMW just made their version of a Moto Guzzi Centaro.
Gotta say man, #1. I appreciate your simple approach. #2. I applaud you for around min 2:34. Good job brother, and much luck with your channel and life brother.
Would this be a good starter bike?
Don't think you'd wanna start on something so butt ugly
Could be called the phoenix as it looks a bit like an X-Men consume in paint scheme
I think is a pretty sweet looking bike. Love the boxer engine
I always knew there was a potential James Bond underneath that beard !!
Super video👍👍👍
So it is selling good like HD when Terminator came up...except the tank of this bike is the half of the bike lol
The two flashing ABS lights mean the battery is low so the ABS hasn’t enough power
Thank you for informing me about the low battery blinking ABS indicator.
I have mine plugged into a charger and my ABS blinks too.
Looks like I'm buying a new battery.
Thank you again.
Drive safe.
@@demosthenescotto2190 …no problem. Better safe than sorry
Everytime you read the prayer it is slightly different from the text on screen ? Lol
My daughter ain't a pr... starship my daughter ain't a starship
Well imo its looking just as good, if not even better than the american cruisers.
because its a bit more sporty and not full cruiser.
Is there a part two?
Well, now we have the R18...... and boy is that a great bike.
abundance or advantage ???
When I had SW Motech engine guards on my R1200GS I could put my legs on the jugs like that. Super comfy and the breeze shot up your pants legs on the freeway. 👍🏼
Watch out for that Hornet.
Gregory Timmons lol, I’ve had just one stinging bug fly into my jacket.
we all know why we clicked on it and it wasn't for the bike lol
Wat a 🔊 sound 😍
