General consensus on the German site is a Bridgestone Hoop, better turn-in and longer lasting. Probably a safe bet. However, the Continental Zippy, is meant to...

The tyre I was offered last week did not materialise, I think they got the price wrong!!! So... I have had a lot of bad service from Carnell in the past...
It's a breeze, except where the Workshop Manual says prise wheel off axle. I needed a hammer and a bit of wood. With practice you could easily get it down to...
... off ... Which manual do you have? I see that BMW sell a manual on CD. I hope to increase the message count here a little when I get my new C1 200 FF with...
Welcome aboard. It's a hardcopy of the BMW CD from BMW Manchester, read previous messages. Servicing costs are high, so it's probably worth getting one. ... ...
Hi, I just started riding a C1 after passing my motorcycle driving test! So I guess I'm one of those target people who've never been on a motorbike having...
Another Welcome, 2 newbies in 2 days. We've had a couple of crashes here, no one in hospital yet. The worst thing to do is put your leg out its seems. Try...
Hi, by "trailing" I guess you mean lightly applying. I'm not sure if car radios/CDs come with the anti-roll feature. The other thing is that it would need a...

I live in France (expat) and I'm just about to buy a C1 200 so I thought I'd share a few of my pre-purchase ponderings to see if you have any comments/advice. ...
Hi, I chose the Family Friend as I liked the yellow paint, and think it's a highly visible colour. In any case, if you intend to buy the topbox you probably...
Hi, I've just taken the plunge and ordered a new C1-200. I went for the base model because I felt I didn't need some of the extras of the more expensive...
I'm a member of the Yahoo BMW Club Forum and they've been discussing sat-nav. May be worth asking them at groups.yahoo.club/bmw-club you have to get accepted...
Hi everybody! What's happened to the "Post" button on this Yahoo thingy? Is that why its all gone quiet? I wanted to tell you all about whatt I saw whilst...
Hi Everyone At long last the Post Button has reappeared on the msg page. Also Yahoo has stopped sending me emails of the msgs - lets hope that starts...
I thought you'd all set up your own site and not invited me!!! Evan ... From: adrianmeredithuk [mailto:adrianmeredith@...] Sent: 13 June 2002 11:14 To:...
Hi to all the newbies! You might have picked up (if you've looked through the archive) that we've been trying to organize ourselves, for a number of reasons ...
A word of warning from my experience: I find my C1-200 very noisy and unwieldy at slow speeds. In particular the 20 - 30mph range seems to get right to my...
Hello, Call me crazy, but I ordered the 176cc crankshaft from BMW for my 125cc. I will start with that and work up since I am still not sure about a malossi...
Sorry, it's me again, I forgot to ask about the variator! I think that someone had changed the variator on a c1 200 without any perceivable success. What was...
Hi I changed the gears on a C1 200, without any significant benefit. The bike is a little quicker in the mid range, but without another bike to ride against it...
Sorry mate, but I don't think the big bore thing will work. The 125 has a stroke of 50mm (56.4mm bore) and the 175 is 58.4mm (62mm bore). The stroke can be...
This explains why I seem to be getting higher speeds than I sometimes see quoted, and why I have no problem with noise. I never take the top box off and ...
You're crazy, you did ask, but it is quite a drastic move. Fitting the long throw crank will give 146cc, and you will also need the shorter con rod of the...
