Those are some of the best pics of the Scooter C Concept I have seen yet.

I read some stuff about it. I think the version in the pictures is very close to the final one. It will have a two cylinder engine, so maybe around 600cc, and those six pot calipers are probably right, as BMW is fanatic about braking capability. Having ridden some ofmtheir motorcycles, I can say then stopping power is phenomenal. Since the current 650 and 800 series bikes start around $9000 and go to $13000, one would guess the base price of this at maybe $7800, with options bringing it to $10,000. My Aprilia Atalntic 500 was about $6000 and looks like a cheesier version of this. (actually, it is cool, but now seven years old). The most powerful Vespas are in the $8000 range, so I would expect this to be similar. Still, I will get one when they come to the US. If they don't, I am already looking at a way to import one as a museum object, then just register it as an antique and ride frequently!
