BMW C 600 Sport (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In late 2010, at the EICMA Show, the German motorcycle manufacturer introduced the BMW C600 Sport and C600GT, two maxi-scooters manufactured by BMW Motorrad. The C600 was the company's first scooter since the BMW C1 manufactured by Bertone.

Both the C600 and the C600GT models were powered by a 647cc parallel twin engine and started production at BMW's Spandau plant in 2011. They were available in 2012 in the European market and in 2012 for the 2013 model year in the American market.

In the aesthetic department, the BMW C600 Sport had standard features, such as a full fairing, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a center stand, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was built on an aluminum frame with a 40 mm upside-down fork on the front with 115 mm wheel travel and a single-sided swingarm with a shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.

The braking power was achieved by two 270 mm discs with dual-piston floating calipers on the front wheel and a 270 mm disc with a dual-piston floating caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent suspension performance.

As for the power figures, the 2012 BMW C600 Sport had its soul brought to life by a 647cc four-stroke two-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 60 hp at 7,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
