BMW did not bring anything electric.

If that was in the U.S., then that confirms my suspicions that BMW is just not serious regarding marketing the C-Evolution scooter here.   :(

If they ever decide to sell an electric motorcycle or two, I hope they do a better job marketing them in North America.  ???

Yes it's in the U.S.   Daytona is going on now.

I agree. How do you not bring your electric scooter when you know in the future you will be selling electric motorcycles?

Biketoberfest 2018  I wanted to test ride a R1200RS ( I had not ridden a boxer in 2 years - kind of wanted to shake hands with an old friend ). My second choice was the C evolution. It was not there. I did sign up to ride the s1000rrrr. I ended up not riding the 1000. I just had no desire to ride it. I rode a XR1000 2-3 months before and found it buzzy as hell.

I rode the C-Evolution a couple of years ago at the Lake George Americade.  My thoughts are somewhere here in the forum.  At the time I was told BMW hadn't made up their minds if they were going to bring it here or not.

Well, they did decide to import them into North America, but apparently they haven't decided if they really want to sell them yet.   ::)
