SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 –

For decades, BMW motorcycles have patrolled the roads of Europe and Asia, but their journey to becoming a mainstay of American police fleets was anything but smooth. Today, more than 3,500 BMW R 1250 RT-P motorcycles serve over 500 U.S. police agencies—thanks to innovation, persistence, and a game-changing deal with the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

The First Foray and Early Challenges

BMW first attempted to break into the American police market in 1984, supplying 150 R 100 RT motorcycles to the San Francisco Police Department. While that initial program showed promise, BMW retreated after a liability lawsuit involving Kawasaki bikes cast a shadow over the authority motorcycle business.

BMW’s R 1200 C: The Iconic Cruiser That Rewrote Motorcycle History

Submitted by newsonline24_team on Tue, 09/23/2025 - 11:07

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 –

In the late '90s, something extraordinary happened in the motorcycle world: BMW broke away from tradition and stepped boldly into the cruiser market, introducing a bike that was unmistakably Bavarian yet designed with American roads in mind—the R 1200 C.

This bold step into cruiser territory came at a time when V-twin motorcycles dominated U.S. highways, led by Harley-Davidson and echoed by Japanese and Italian rivals. But BMW had other ideas.

Designing a Cruiser, the BMW Way

While other brands mimicked Harley’s iconic look, BMW chose to carve its own path. The R 1200 C featured the brand’s signature boxer engine rather than the typical V-twin, wrapped in an innovative design led by American-born David Robb.
