BMW makes engines ranging from two cylinders all the
way up to twelve. This latest addition to the lineup, however, has just one
cylinder.
It's the new C 400 X, which joins the BMW Motorrad
lineup as the smaller counterpart to the larger C 600 Sport and C 650 GT.
Unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, the
C 400 X is a mid-size urban commuter scooter. At its heart sits a 350cc
single-cylinder engine good for 34 horsepower and mated to a continuously
variable transmission.
BMW has packed the C 400 X with modern technologies. It features
electronic fuel injection, stability control, antilock brakes, and LED
lighting.
Buyers will be able to specify fiber-optic daytime
riding lights and a 6.5-inch color touchscreen display as well, and between
Alpine White and metallic Zenith Blue paintjobs, with grey and black or red and
black seats to give it a dynamic look
