Looks like it'd be real exciting to ride that thing in a strong side wind.

It's the BMW C-1. It's basically a two wheeled car. You do up the seat belt and go, no helmet needed. They are designed to take a hit. When the single cylinder 650s were just coming out, ~2001, the dealers got to play with them in europe. One canuck went into a round-about wrong and was broad sided by a delivery van. After he stopped sliding he unclipped and climbed out in one piece! Try that in a scooter.

They came with either a 175cc or 225cc EFI motor if I remember, had ABS brakes, wipers, luggage, etc. The passenger, if you had one, sat on the back facing traffic!

North america couldn't decide what to do with it. Was it a car with two wheels, no helmet, or a bike that crashed very well... So they never imported it. Maybe they should look at it again.
