"recommended for very tall riders"....I dunno. I'm only 6'0" (184cm). I'll need to see if the riding position changes when I mount the windshield, it actually may... Another idea would be a proper backrest for the rider, but I doubt that's possible.

I'm thinking about that, too. I've only ridden my CE04 once so far, but I feel that I need to sit exactly on the hump, which is obviously not very comfortable. I really don't know what they were thinking when they designed that seat, I don't even want to know what the regular seat would feel...

I saw this on FB. They have the right idea, but 85 EUR for two bent pieces of painted flat steel stock? I don't think so...

Yes, looks very similar ;-)

https://www.motoport.com/ I've reached out to them but haven't heard back. In the meantime I went with a set of AA/Level 2 rated RevIt gear, that should arrive tomorrow or so. I thought about the Klim Marrakesh, but was put off a little by the lack of a connection zipper. I think that's an...

Not really. There is a company in San Diego that makes custom-fit onesies and combos from mesh that are supposed to be good. But a) expensive and b) probably has a long lead time. I bought some reasonable Level 2/AA gear from RevIt, I'll see how well that works for commuting. If I can't take the...

Interesting, since their website says different. I've messaged them about that a few days ago, too, but haven't heard back.

Thanks! My idea is that I want to fit the helmet as well as jacket and pants in there. Sure, there's the under-seat storage, but I'll likely use that for an emergency charger cable and such. So a TR41 is probably not large enough. I'll likely go with the Wunderlich generic luggage rack (that...

Reviving this thread since I'm currently looking at a Shad topcase for the CE-04. Their homepage says for the CE-04 mount: Which is a bummer since I'm not so much a fan of the rounded designs and would rather have a Terra case. Does anyone know if the Terra cases (say, a TR48 or 55) fits on the...

Sure, there is one, but have you ever changed in a bathroom, especially on a regular basis? Without knowing how clean the floor really is? Not really an option, but I think I could do with a mesh jacket/pants over work clothes which I could take off in the parking lot. If the pants have an ankle...

All, since there's no telling if and when BMW will actually put the Vision CE on the market, I'm thinking I might go with a CE04 in the meantime (and trade it in if/when the Vision CE debuts). That would obviously mean protective clothing (I never ride without), which, when using the bike for...

Maybe a silly thought, but have you tried disconnecting the 12V battery and leave it off for half an hour? Just in case it's not really a fault with the drive battery but rather an electronic glitch in the controllers?

The original (built 2000-2003) was called "C1". It did actually have really decent weather protection, especially with the optional acryl side shields, but you still got your elbows a bit wet in a downpour and had some spray flying around the inside. Of course, designer leather shoes are not the...

Yes, it was a bit sluggish on the acceleration (I even had the "200"), and getting up to top speed (around 110km/h, IIRC) took a while. But in the city that didn't really matter, you were still faster off the line than the cars, on the highway it did suck somewhat.

Ah, the Williams C1. I had the yellow/black Family Friend's version...

Yes, that only showed up when I selected English as my preferred language and enabled the French auto-captured subtitles. Not very user-friendly, I must say. But as predicted, they kept a possible release date to themselves.

Hi Bill, And here I was thinking AI would eventually be good for something. When I opened the video, I looked at exactly the setting you are referring to. I'm not sure why, but I only see - Off - French (auto-generated) Edit: ah, now that I've activated the French auto-generated subtitles and...

Very cool, thank you very much for the find, Yves! Sadly, there are no English subtitles, but maybe you could enlighten us a bit about what's being said? It looks like they built a functional prototype? Any info on a production date (although they're likely not to mention that anyways)? And you...

Regarding the Vision CE, ideally I'd like to see something that makes use of the cage and that provides weather protection, such like a full windshield and roof. As looking through plastic isn't ideal, that would probably need to be a glass windshield with a wiper, as the C1 had. So that's...

No idea if this has any truth to it, but it would be so cool... https://fasterwheeler.com/us/bikes/bmw-vision-ce-11088
