Segment: Scooter
Production years: 2014, 2015
The BMW C 650 GT and the C 600 Sport were maxi-scooters produced by BMW Motorrad since 2012 at BMW's plant in Spandau, Germany. It was BMW's first scooter since the C1, which was manufactured by Bertone.
In 2014, the German motorcycle maker launched the BMW C 650 GT, a more comfortable maxi-scooter than the Sport version. It was in the third consecutive production year and packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous one without any changes.
The scooter's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a single, large headlight, a large windscreen, the body covered with fairings, a two-up seat with a rider backrest and passenger grab rails, a single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke alloy wheels.
It was built around a steel tube frame with a die-cast aluminum unit. For suspension, it packed a 40 mm upside-down fork with 115 mm of travel on the front and a single-sided swingarm on the rear with 115 mm of travel, offering an excellent and plush riding experience.
As for the power figures, the 2014 BMW C 650 GT had its soul brought to life by a 647cc four-stroke two-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mounted underneath its fairings, delivering an output power of 60 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
