Deviate from the different information transfer in the name of the newly developed engine the same 647 cc two-cylinder inline, 44 kW/60 hp and a CVT automatic scooter duo at the heart of Bavaria. Already the state has a twin liquid-cooled engine produces strong voice and pulse the machine looks. When it rises to approve the twin BMW initially a little pause to think, have been made for the centrifugal clutch 2 500 power trip. But then sports and GT dash to power ahead at the lights and let everything else stand. Is one scooter BMW on the road, they increased the number of spontaneous motor on the gas, and offers a crisp blast of speed. Overtaking is very unusual as regular exercise. BMW top speed of nearly 175 km / h.
With the chassis, BMW is also cutting the cost of a modular system: GT Sports shows how largely the same, with the development of motorcycle-inspired chassis. Backbone is a hybrid of a conventional bridge frame with tubular steel construction blur-profile die-cast aluminum, which takes a single-sided swing arm. While most other scooters and motorcycles form the arms of a unit bolted to the engine in the BMW, which stiffened composite for the purpose of driving behavior is stable and accurate. At the front of the scooter arena usual inverted fork with 40 millimeters stanchion diameter is used, the left side of the rear struts lying in pottery. This spring, the trails are very long, but what makes for great convenience.
Both BMW-scooter makes handling extremely useful and has not been stable on the day. In particular, 249-pound C 600 Sport can be moved smoothly and up to the tapes and asphalt winding through major changes. Stability problems Bavaria know scooters are not. The same goes for twelve pounds heavier C 650 GT tourers, which operates in all, the fat lane, but to score points with the stability of the white right.
According to BMW safety philosophy of the scooter is equipped with two-channel ABS motorcycle home standards. Independent system, which appears on the wheel, may wish to explore motorcyclist’s toxic, dissolves back of ABS too early. Smart Idea: The parking brake is activated automatically when the rear lower side stands.
Although technically identical platform C 600 C 650 Sport and GT conceptually different. Design, ergonomics and differentiation of the defining features: With a sporty body and just cut the trim, slim tail and the angle of the points, the dynamics of C 650, C 650 GT delivers more abundant plastic parts that remind flagship BMW R 1200 RT touring, for the most entertaining and wind and weather protection. Large windshield is electrically adjustable contrast with the guidance of the equivalent of three stages of his sport, in terms of the windshield can not be entirely convincing.
Will find a bank of 70 degrees forward tilt cylinder and placed behind the flat drive CVT. This allows the typical roller-thru. But the wide center tunnel was built, left foot only a small area is left. In the C 600 Sport Honda in oriented seating position handlebar height 810 mm. In the area it sits low GT with 780 mm, but with more cushion and backrest adjustable for driver and passengers more comfortable. According to a different destination from autumn to make space available. C 650 GT has a 60-liter luggage compartment under the seat of, C 600 Sport is the concept of variable storage Flex Case in which the storage compartment floor can be lowered to store two helmets in a parked car as possible. Additional storage space is available in two models with two glove boxes in the bow for the disposal is left locked.
Both scooters have in common is, fertile high-quality equipment with a variety of instruments from analog speedometer and LCD on-board computer. Also a variety of electrical equipment such as heated grips special, heated seats, alarm system and tire pressure control (RDC) is available. Connection of additional customers already installed in the wiring harness. A multi-functional key and lock the seat of the central opening, the tank lid and drawer front left. 16 liter tank is filled from the front end of the bench. That's enough, though the engine is tight for a range of more than 300 kilometers.
Given the thoroughness with which the orientation of Scooter BMW has made a significant new C-model is more successful than happy C1 will be granted. The biggest problem may be that despite the high quality have hefty price expectations: for C 600 Sport BMW requires € 11 100, C 650 FGT is to € 11 450 to have.
