Cabin motorcycle

BMW C1

A cabin motorcycle is a fully or semi-enclosed motorcycle.[1] They first appeared in the 1920s.[1] In parts of Eastern Europe, they are known as dalniks.

Fully enclosed non-production motorcycles used for land-speed record-breaking attempts, such as the NSU Delphin III, are known as streamliners.
