2002 BMW C1 200 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2002 BMW C1 200 scooter motorcycle, BMW utilizes a 176 cc (10.7 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17 HP (12.4 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18 Nm (13.3 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm. With a specific output of 96.6 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the C1 200 measures 185 kg (408 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.88 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 701 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 9.7-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 112 km/h (70 mph).
