A peek at a seriously cool cyberpunk scooter concept from BMW, plus an R100 rescued from the wrecker’s yard in Spain, a gorgeous Guzzi T5 from Italy, and a Suzuki V-Strom clad entirely in wood. Yes, really.

BMW Motorrad Definition CE 04 The problem with most compact scooters is the styling. They?re spindly, plastic-y things, and look like they?d splinter into a dozen pieces if dropped. There are a few exceptions though, such as Piaggio?s Vespa brand and the Honda Zoomer?and it looks like BMW is about to join that party.

The ?Definition CE 04? is an urban electric scooter concept, and it looks good. BMW as a company is heavily focused on EVs right now, and Motorrad prototypes have a habit of making it into production, in slightly revised form. So it wouldn?t surprise us to see this scooter hitting the showrooms late next year. BMW says the concept has ?production readiness??and the company already has a lot of experience with electric scooters, via the pricey but effective C Evolution model. We?re hoping it goes into production looking exactly like the prototype, with agreeably chunky bodywork and vivid color highlights. [More]

BMW R100 by Ønix Design BMW is definitely looking towards the future, but there?s still a lot of love for older Bayerische Motoren Werke bikes amongst owners. Most bikes that are four decades old and falling apart get sent to the wreckers, but airheads tend to get a reprieve.
Like this 1977 R100 from Valencia in Spain. This was a basket...
