BMW Concept C coming stateside next year

Speaking to us at dinner this evening, BMW Motorrad marketing manager Todd Andersen confirmed that a production maxi scooter based on the BMW Concept C will be entering the US market sometime after being unveiled at this fall’s bike shows. BMW’s second scooter will attempt to take on the worldwide maxi scooter segment leader, the Yamaha TMAX.

BMW is also announcing that all its models in the US will be equipped, as standard, with ABS starting next year. It’s not currently clear how that will affect pricing — the non-ABS S1000RR starts at $13,950 to the ABS and DTC-equipped model’s $15,880, but we’ll find out first thing in the morning.

Update: BMW will just drop that base, non-ABS S1000RR and only sell the $15,880 model.
