I've taken a few pics of my BMW Cruiser key...I think it's a great looking key.
Just in case there's some RR or other BMW owners that haven't seen it.

DJ, as my grandmother used to say as a true compliment...
You are a peach!
You seem to find art everywhere.
Thanks,
Dave

DJ,
Very cool. I have never seen that. Can I get one?

DJ, very aerodynamic looking. I bet you get about 2 to 3 more mph or kph.
Nice looking also.

Yeah, the R1200C cruiser key is very pretty. I've often wondered why BMW uses the butt ugly plastic keys that look like you can buy from Wally World for the rest of the bikes.:thumbs_down:

I had a key like that for a '98 Cruiser in the Ivory color, accented in blue pinstripe. I loved the bike, but it was a loser for BMW. To their credit though, BMW hung in there hoping the market place would accept it.
Before the collapse of the line, BMW larded it up with goofy plastic resulting in a genuine pig. I was told by a Frankfurt salesman that the bike was for American taste! I would accept that as no taste.
Mine could keep up with most of the guys in the twisties around Bandera, but of course I got dusted on the straights. But imagine, a cruiser with superb handling, ABS, and of course you didn't find one like it at every stop. I should have kept it because the resale sucks and frankly, for the resale value, no other cruiser comes close for its unique qualities, IMO.

Hey DJ, my CLC came with a key like that. Unfortunately it didn't make it go any faster:icon_cry:. Is it raining down there? Looks like you don't have any thing to do:icon_wink:
I can see the next thread coming..."Beautiful Nail Clippers" or "Aerodanamic Sneakers" :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin:

Thanks guys...and Tipstall...yes you can order one from BMW..(about $20 I think)...yes it's only a key...but it is nice..IMO.
Be warned...it's heavy...and some have dropped it onto their tank and it's left a nice dent...:104:
I just had those pics loaded on my site (because of a question on the R1150R site) and thought I'd post them here before I delete them.
Hey Randy...what's..'raining'...:icon_mrgreen:..I can't remember when I saw it last ...
We've had the best weather here the last few weeks...you should bring that bike of yours down under and do the easyrider thing around Oz..:045:
