New BMW Scooter!!!

£2,000 approx??? :o I quite like the single sided front fork, though I suspect it might make handling a bit wobbly...

At €2,500 a go& light enough to pick up & carry, it could well end up as the next 'must steal' for the inner city scrotes that are currently targeting 'mopeds'

Brilliant idea to lose one of the front forks, who needs physics or engineering eh?!

It's an extension of difazio hub centre steering, a video from 20 (or so) years ago might help ....
