BMW C 650 GT (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW C650 GT, alongside the C600 Sport, was a maxi-scooter manufactured by BMW Motorrad since 2012. It was BMW's first scooter since the C1, which was manufactured by Bertone.

The line was introduced in late 2010 at the EICMA Show. They were the only models in the line powered by a 647cc parallel-twin engine. The production began in 2011 at BMW's plant in Spandau, Germany, and was released into the market in 2012 in Europe and 2012 in the US for the 2013 model year.

In the visual department, the scooter had standard fittings, such as a single, large headlight, a large windscreen, all 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.

The scooter was made 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 power, the 2012 BMW C 650 GT had installed a 647cc four-stroke two-cylinder liquid-cooled engine 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.
