BMW C600 Sport
and C650GT
First introduced at the EICMA show
in Milan, Italy earlier this year,
BMW’s two new scooters – the C600
Sport and C650GT – represent a
complete departure for the company.
Built to fight the challenges of inner-
city traffic, rising energy costs, and
ever-tightening emission regulations,
these two scoots look to bring the
BMW brand to a whole new segment
of two-wheelers.
Here are the numbers: 647cc parallel-
Twin (don’t let the “C600” name fool
you), 60 horsepower, 109 mph top
speed, and, in the case of the C600,
0-62.5 mph in 7.1 seconds. Great
numbers for a scooter.
As the names and pictures would
suggest, the C600 Sport sheds some
luxury amenities and places the rider
into an aggressive, sporty position –
perfect for embarrassing lesser riders
on sportbikes. The C650GT, mean-
while, is perfect for riders looking to
rack up miles on the odometer while
doing so in complete comfort, and it
can also attack a challenging moun-
tain road should the situation arise.
