The BMW C1-200, launched in 2000, was a unique and innovative scooter that challenged the conventional design of two-wheeled vehicles. It featured a distinctive enclosed cockpit with a full-length windscreen, providing the rider an unprecedented level of protection from the elements. This striking design, resembling a futuristic bubble car, was as much a statement as it was a functional feature. The C1-200 was marketed as a safe and practical mode of transportation, especially for commuters who desired a sheltered ride, particularly in urban environments with unpredictable weather conditions. The scooter's chassis was designed to be robust and stable, incorporating a single-sided swingarm and a telescopic front fork.

Powering the C1-200 was a 199cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, delivering around 15 horsepower. While not a performance machine, it offered sufficient power for urban commuting and light touring. The C1-200 featured a CVT transmission for seamless acceleration and a smooth riding experience. As for its safety features, the C1-200 boasted a unique "active safety" system that used electronic sensors and hydraulic brakes to maintain stability during cornering and emergency braking. In addition, a steel rollover cage was integrated into the design for added protection in the event of a tip-over. However, despite its innovative approach and safety features, the C1-200 faced challenges in the market. It was perceived as bulky and unconventional by some, and the price point was relatively high compared to traditional scooters. These factors ultimately contributed to its discontinuation in 2003. Nevertheless, the C1-200 remains a fascinating example of BMW's commitment to exploring new design concepts and pushing the boundaries of motorcycle engineering.
