has petitioned NHTSA to decide

whether non-U.S. certified 1998–2001

BMW R1100 motorcycles are eligible for

importation into the United States. The

vehicles were manufactured for sale in

European markets and DCI believes that

they are substantially similar to the

1998–2001 BMW R1100 motorcycles

that were manufactured for sale in the

BMW R1100 motorcycles to their U.S.

certified counterparts, and found the

vehicles to be substantially similar with

respect to compliance with most Federal

motor vehicle safety standards.

DCI submitted information with its

petition intended to demonstrate that

non-U.S. certified 1998–2001 BMW

R1100 motorcycles, as originally

manufactured, conform to many Federal

motor vehicle safety standards in the

same manner as their U.S. certified

counterparts, or are capable of being

readily altered to conform to those

standards.

non-U.S. certified 1998–2001 BMW

R1100 motorcycles are identical to their

U.S. certified counterparts with respect

for Vehicles other than Passenger Cars,

and 122 Motorcycle Brake Systems.

vehicles are capable of being readily

altered to meet the following standards,

in the manner indicated below:

assemblies which incorporate

headlamps that are certified to meet the

standard; (b) replacement of all

reflectors with reflectors that are

certified to meet the standard.

Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and

Rims for Vehicles other than Passenger

Cars: installation of a tire information

label.

Standard No. 123 Motorcycle Controls

and Displays: Installation of a U.S.

model speedometer calibrated in miles

per hour and a U.S. model odometer

that measures distance traveled in

miles.
