Email me to arrange for a showing. Description: "The 1170cc, air/oil-cooled, fuel-injected motor starts up on the first push of the starter button... The wide-stance Telelever fork is borrowed from the portly R1200CL touring cruiser model, as is the fat 150mm front tire... BMW is famous for excellent brakes, and this Montauk is no exception. The brakes are outstanding and feature BMW’s EVO/Integral ABS. Pull the front lever and it activates the dual 4-piston calipers that bite on 12.0-inch dual floating rotors in front, and also activates the floating two-piston caliper out back that grabs another 11.2-inch single fixed rotor out back. And it’s tuned for just the right bias... And the ABS will kick in if the pavement gets wet or gravely, so there is no chance of lockup. The Montauk’s unconventional suspension components are unlike any other cruiser’s suspension on the market, and I really liked it. The front Telelever with 5.6 inches of travel soaks up bumps and potholes with ease, and along with the beefy 150/80-16 tire, help the Montauk to turn in easily and track solidly through turns. The rear Monolever has 3.9 inches of travel, is adjustable for preload, and it too handles its duties well. At highway speeds the Montauk felt stable, solid, and smooth. The Montauk wears the same 170/80-15 rear tire that the heavier CL touring model sports. The wide bars provide good leverage for turns, and side to side transitions are handled with a fairly light sporty feel. There is also enough cornering clearance for aggressive riding when the roads get challenging... A few unexpected and welcomed amenities include heated handgrips, a power socket, a height-adjustable low-beam headlight, and a conveniently located battery charger connection point... The BMW cruisers look unlike any other cruiser on the market, and there is no mistaking it for anything else on the road... I find many parts and components of the Montauk beautiful. The rear Monolever, for example, is a slick looking piece that contains the shaft drive and it allows the left side to show off the beautiful 5-spoke cast wheel. The stacked headlights make a unique front end... The motor gives you a unique pulse; the suspension offers a distinctive handling package, and the unconventional, iconoclastic styling obviously distinguishes itself..."
