The BMW C1 125 and C1 200, produced from 2000 to 2003, were innovative and unique motorcycles that aimed to bridge the gap between scooters and traditional motorcycles. These models were characterized by their distinctive design, incorporating a full-fledged, car-like safety cage surrounding the rider. This cage, made of robust polycarbonate, provided protection from the elements and offered a sense of security akin to a car. The C1 series also featured a large windshield, a roof designed to deflect rain and wind, and a heated handlebar grip, further enhancing rider comfort and practicality.

Beneath this unique exterior, the C1 housed a powerful and reliable liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, paired with a CVT transmission for smooth and effortless acceleration. The C1 125, powered by a 125cc engine, was designed for urban commuting and offered a nimble and fuel-efficient ride. The C1 200, equipped with a 200cc engine, provided more power for highway riding and offered a more spirited performance. While innovative, the C1 series faced challenges, primarily due to its high price and a less-than-stellar reputation for handling. Coupled with production complications, the C1 series ultimately proved to be a commercial failure and was discontinued after only three years. Nevertheless, the C1 remains a fascinating testament to BMW's experimental spirit and its attempt to redefine the motorcycle experience, merging the convenience of a scooter with the safety and protection of a car.
