The BMW C1 125, produced from 2000 to 2003, was a revolutionary step in the motorcycle world, blending the safety and comfort of a car with the agility and maneuverability of a scooter. This unique vehicle, sometimes referred to as a "scooter car", featured a distinctive design with a full-body, car-like shell that enclosed the rider and provided protection from the elements. The C1 125 was powered by a 125cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine producing around 11 horsepower. While not a powerhouse, this engine was sufficient for urban commuting and offered a comfortable ride thanks to its smooth power delivery and efficient fuel consumption. The C1 125's lightweight construction, weighing in at just over 200 kg, further enhanced its agility and maneuverability, making it ideal for navigating congested city streets.

Beyond its innovative design and practical features, the BMW C1 125 boasted a number of safety innovations. The most notable was its "active safety system," which encompassed a unique combination of a roll bar, a three-point seat belt, and a patented "auto-deploy" safety canopy. The canopy, a lightweight fabric roof, would automatically deploy in the event of a sudden stop or rollover, providing additional protection for the rider. Additionally, the C1 125 featured a sophisticated anti-lock braking system (ABS) for increased safety during braking and a powerful front disc brake and a rear drum brake, ensuring optimal stopping power. Despite its innovative features and safety advancements, the C1 125 was not a resounding commercial success. Its unique design and high price point, coupled with a limited production run, ultimately resulted in its discontinuation after just three years. However, the C1 125 remains a testament to BMW's commitment to innovation and a pioneering example of the intersection of motorcycle and car design.
