This is Honda's 750 scooter concept with CVT and electric roof.

With all that extra weight at least Honda put a decent engine in it - unlike BMW's C1 failure. Over 180 kg with a 175cc engine.

The C1 looks like a great concept however the main thing I see wrong with it is you can't bring your better half with you! It's a single seater, that might have something to do with them not selling Crying or Very sad emoticon

i thought the passenger was meant to sit on the little seat at the back and hold onto the handles, no?

Would you???!!! Not me.
The other thing was the pair of cross over seat belts you have to wear to start the engine. many riders did not like the thought of being strapped inside the scoot if it went over
Finally it never managed to overcome the no-helmet thing. Many countries in Europe ruled that the C1 required a helmet so it eventually had little in terms or point of difference.
Warning: This is not an opportunity to start a 'helmet laws' discussion!
