BMW C 650 GT (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2015, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW C 650 GT, a maxi-scooter that debuted in 2012 alongside the C 600 Sport. Although the scooters had different designations, they were powered by the same 647cc engine.

The scooter was first presented in late 2010 at the EICMA Show alongside the BMW R 600 Sport. The production started in December 2011 and was available for purchase in 2012 in Europe and in 2012 for the 2013 model year in the USA.

The 2015 model came in the same shape and form as the previous one, delivering the same technical, visual, and performance specifications. No updates or modifications were present on the 2015 model.

The model's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a full fairing, two headlights, a tall windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a horizontally-mounted shock absorber, a single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke blacked-out wheels.

In the performance department, the 2015 BMW C 650 GT had its soul brought to life by a 647cc four-stroke liquid-cooled two-cylinder engine mounted at its core, boasting 60 hp with maximum strength at 7,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The machine was manufactured around a steel tube frame with a die-cast aluminum unit, housing the suspension system comprised of 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.
