Your first trip
Safe riding doesn't depend on 
your BMW C1 alone.
Your own skill and common-
sense are needed too.
The key to genuine safety on 
the road is a sensible balance 
between the vehicle's technical 
features and the rider's skill, so 
that together they form a single 
efficient unit. Riding safely in traffic calls for a 
sense of responsibility to your 
pillion passenger and to other 
road users.
d Warning:
Do not ride your BMW C1 af-
ter drinking alcoholic bever-
ages. Even small amounts of 
alcohol or drugs, particularly 
if taken in conjunction with 
medicines, will adversely af-
fect your perception and your 
ability to assess situations 
and make decisions, and also 
slow down your reflexes.
Take to the road now by all 
means, but think carefully about 
everything you do.
