2002 BMW C1 200

In Germany, Scooter by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: This C1 did not meet reserve with 24 bids up to $6,124 on eBay.


At the turn of the century, BMW thought they could get more people on scooters by eliminating some of the weather and safety concerns. Their idea was the C1, a scooter with a roof and seat belts. With sufficient crash testing, BMW was able to convince most countries (except Sweden and the United Kingdom) that C1 riders did not have to wear helmets. Thought it had some potential, consumers did not fall in love with the C1, and it sold for just a couple of years. The bike was not officially offered in North America, but here’s one that’s somehow made its way into Florida.

The C1 was available with a 125cc or 200cc motor, but neither motor size made many friends. MCN called it slow, heavy (407 pounds), expensive, and weird. Still, it had plenty of luggage space, it was very comfortable, and it had lots of options – ABS, stereo, even a heated seat. For more information, check out this story on BMW Blog.

This example (VIN: WB10192A53YB10815) shows 14,333 km (roughly 8,958 miles) and it was serviced in July of this year. Factory options include ABS, the “Fun Audio System” with speakers in the roof, a cell phone holder, grip heaters, trunk, passenger seat, and the removable hard top. It also comes with several extras like a cover, spares, repair manual CD, and more.
