BMW is known for its unconventional designs, none more so
than the CI. Safety features had never really been included on a motorbike
before this machine appeared in 2000. The CI is built around an aluminium
cage, designed to keep the rider safe inside in the event of an accident.
Twin seatbelts hold the rider in place, and the cage can withstand very
large impacts. An impact-absorbing frontal zone helps soak up much of the
energy in a head-on crash - the most common type of motorcycle crash
involving other vehicles. The rest of the CI is more conventional. The
engine is a four-stroke design, with fuel-injection and automatic
transmission. The CI is offered with many accessories, including ABS, sound
and luggage systems.
