BMW added the C1 200 early in 2001, less than a year after launch, as a stronger alternative to the 125 for riders who wanted more urge from a scooter carrying the weight of a safety cell. A larger bore and longer stroke took the single to 176 cc, adding about 3 hp and a big jump in torque, which cut the 0-50 km/h time from 5.9 to 3.9 seconds and lifted top speed to around 112 km/h. Everything else, from the roof hoop and seat belts to the Telelever front end, was carried over. It was sold for under two years before the whole C1 line was dropped in 2002.
