My new C 650GT is on a ship coming from Germany and I need to know the ground clearance of it. Can't find it anywhere. Could someone please measure it for me?
Thank you
Jim

Like clearance between the ground and lowest point (probably the center stand)?

Yes, can you measure yours?

Looks to be around 5 inches to the sacrificial peg (or whatever they're called) on the center stand.

David, thank you very much. That will help my calculations.
Scoot is now in NYC, Should show up at my dealer's shop by the end of this week. Getting anxious.

The ground clearance will also depend on your weight are you 125 pounds or 325 pounds

Awesome, congrats! I need to tear mine apart this weekend and hopefully get back on the road soon.

They call them sacrificial because when you push too hard in the twisties you'll hear them grind on the road letting you know you are at the limits of ground clearance.
I went through several of them. It wasn't my fault, that BMW handles similar to a sport bike and just asks to hit the curves hard and fast.
