Why the Scooter ?

I was looking at the BMW scooter a few weeks ago, at the annual show, and said to my friend, an MOA member: "that would make a good Iron Butt machine." The reason being that you can move your feet through a range of about a foot and a half. It also looks like there is good sliding room on the seat. I think power would be more than adequate. The bike's ergos would have to match up with the rider, of course.

Bingo.
It's got boards. I can remember first time I kicked out and laid back. I laughed out loud.
It rallies. You can get a lot of gear in that boot.
It goes off road but don't push it, low clearance but I've had it back in the brush.
I said it years ago that if BMW made one I'd buy it, sorta wish they would have gone with the camera in the rear and dumped the mirrors like the concept.
