Intended for a category of urban bikers and scooter riders, AirFlow 2 is pre-equipped for the BMW Motorrad intercom communication system. Finally, these colors are subtly matched to the brand’s new maxiscooters: solid night black, Lightgrey metallic, titanium gray metallic, matt magnesium metallic and matt cosmic blue metallic..
