In late 2021, I got lucky and found my C650GT at a motorcycle shop near San Diego! I was looking for a new 2020, the last year they made them. Such a shame to discontinue this great bike at least in the USA. I live in Utah, so rented a car one-way to get to the store in CA to pick it up and ride back. A fun adventure, and 16 months later, one of the favorite purchases of my life!

LOVE my 2016. Got it for $6500 with 1400 miles on it. Absolute dream to ride.

I have a '13 Highline. I'm convinced BMW would have sold a lot more of these if they just sounded better. I love riding mine, but I've never warmed up to the engine sound.

I can appreciate your utilitarian perspective, absent the forfeiture of luxury. Bravo 👏 to the review

Fantastic review, man. Appreciate the insights and info. Cheers.

My 2012 c600 sport has 60,000km now in Australia great in all weather, very reliable, servicing can be expensive is the only draw back. 60mpg to 70mpg on a trip. Only parts changed are drive belts ,rollers, and tyre's.

Great video. I have a 2013 model & love it. Only drawback (I find), are the wobbly mirrors!

This was an EXCELLENT review. Greatly appreciated! Thank you. I'm looking at buying a used 2017...exact same bike...so this review was very helpful. Thank you!

Nice look around the bike, cheers.

Hi, Great review. I am on my second one - first one was a 2013 model and the actual one is a 2019! I realy like the bike. For me it is the best Maxi Scooter on the market. Differences from 1st series to this last one… mainly the transmission- much more effective and fast on the latest model, and the engine feels a bit more smooth and with a higher top end speed. Suspension wise it is also more balanced and with a better racio between confort and performance. The keys are also different, the alarm also different…much better in my opinion! Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹 ✌️

Good review, super nice Scooter.

Really in the market for a maxi scooter yet Honda won’t send anything to the US and Yamaha has yet to impress me with their offerings and I keep coming back to this one.

Great review from an actual owner. I'm glad I watched because of some of the minor short comings and flaws. I do wonder if anything has been upgraded or changed since 2017. The shocker for me is the 12k price tag. You can get a Hayabusa for that much! lol All joking aside, that is a lot of money for a scooter. A very nice scooter but still. Thanks for sharing!

Great review 😊👍. Sounds like a more powerful & less muffled version of my i3 REx engine. The most comforting sound in an EV is when the ICE starts burbling away once you're 120 miles from home. Props to you for riding in a climate as rainy as ours (Seattle USA).

Theres 2016 C 650 GT Premium for sale in Southern California. Its $6k with under 6000 miles I think Im going to get it because of your review

One of the things I notice about this bike is the travel of the screen is adequate but the width is insufficient. By that I mean it doesn't seem wide enough to do the job required - that is to keep the wind off the arms and chest especially at the fringes. I have a Suzuki Burgman AN Executive which also has an electrically adjustable screen (I think mine is non-standard) that is also wider and thus wind is kept off the hands as well. I consider the Suzuki the benchmark of maxi scooters so I would compare any other machine to it. Whilst I haven't ridden the BMW I know what I like and what the Burgman offers in terms of comfort, features and ability. Storage in the dash and under the seat as well as a top box make the Burgman good for the daily commute (although it's a bit big for that) as well as a great bike for touring the highways. It keeps up with the big tourers and sports bikes easily. I'm not critical of the BMW I just like the Burgman.

Hi, Thank you so much for your review. What do you think about getting one of these as a first bike? I am just worried its a bit heavy and powerful for a first bike. Thank you in advance

Whats the difference between c650gt and the highline version? And help I'm getting my c650gt in a few weeks time it just says its a bmw c650gt 2016 year. Its got both heated grips and seats. And its got the hazard warning ⚠️ in the mirror arms

Nice review. Glad you are not like the Missy Flyer as I like watching normal people.

You know there is an option I don't think you know about. Under and near the windscreen there are wing on both sides, that open up and keep the wind off your hands.

Mine is a year older, but I love it. 50,000+ miles on it now. You said it's easy to get to the battery. Could you show us how? I can't seem to find all the fasteners to get the panel off.

The corrosion on the outer rear casing might have something to do with the bike being a Kymco and not actually built by BMW still a good machine

Would love to hear about the maintenance cost for your first, second, and third service the manual tells you to get?

Noice!!

Quality here is sub par compared to other BMW motorcycles. I'd have to say for as expensive as they are I am disappointed.

I always liked the BMW600/650 scooters, but did not get one because of quality issues. Also the maintenance costs are too high. I live in the the states and will wait for Yamaha T-max 560 to arrive and will get that instead.

It's a BEAST of a "scooter..." I eat traffic, cars and do it with my feet out on a comfortable seat...

I put 70000 on my first one from 2012. And now I'm on my second bike, since 2019 done 25000. Very good machine, pitty the clutch is crap, and the engine is made in Korea! I've had 2x Burgman 650 Executives, 2006 and a 2010. But still prefer the Beemer!

Bike Motor Works, Grendon. BMW trained mechanic, looks after my GS and any other bike, highly recommended.

Hi i love your accent and taste for scooter. Could you record when you fill up at a gastation? Plus when you stop to eat? I'm willing to pay for both suggestions. .

Hey I just bought one of these. Only the left headlight works? does both work or is there a way to change it?

❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love the look of the bike. Just wish it had a BMW engine in it instead of a Kymco.

Hello, if you could answer a couple of questions for me please. First, how is the suspension on rough roads and secondly, do you get any bothersome engine heat on your legs. Thanks in advance.

Any engine overheating on BMW c650gt ? I live in hot country weather like 35+

What is the length of the bike & width and how wide? The Silver Wing that i have is 89" with is 30+ in wide and about 40+ in high 550 lbs U.S. scale

My electric screen Stopped working? Any idea help?

My cbf 1000 only lights up 1 bulb 😡 my vfr800 did both and turned night into day' 1 headlight lit is supposed to look a like motorbike to car drivers' both on could look like its a car but further away than it actually is so said car drivers could misjudge the distance when pulling out of junctions.... I get were they are coming from but i still think 1 headlight lit looks shite

I wonder why the Burgman650 was canceled.

With 1 Liter petrol how far you can go with this scooter ! I mean average per litter???

You could have wiped the screen in 30 seconds 😁

I am a bit surprised that the brake discs are so pitted after only 4500 miles, that doesn’t seem like normal BMW standards, even taking into consideration that you neglect the bike.

Can I buy in USA?

7:36 - that was some dumb government regulation thing, only cars are allowed to have two lights or something like that.

What year is this C 650 GT?

Do you still own the bike

Sounds ruff?

What are servicing costs
