SOLD! The scooter has been sold.

It has been SOLD

Huh? Why would that be disturbing to have BMW offer a smaller scooter along with their larger one? If it's the Asian sourced components, then that shouldn't bother anyone either, because our 650cc engines are already Asian sourced; they are made by Kymco. I have two scooters, a Suzuki 200...

I heard a rumor that BMW my be coming out with a smaller scooter soon; somewhere in the 300 cc to 350 cc range. I also heard that, like our bikes, some of the main components are outsourced from Asian scooter manufactures. If so is this a Europe only model, or maybe it was a concept bike, or...

Yes you are correct, and I am aware that not listing all the information, including the price, isn't the best way to sell something. However, I am listing it for a friend so I'm not sure what he wants for it, or what might go with it. I know the rear box won't go with the bike because he was...

This would also work to keep the box from coming off. I drilled a 1/4" hole through the center bottom of my case and the mount and used a bolt to secure it (I used a wing nut so as to make it easily removable but a wingnut isn't necessary). Unless you bend down and look under the case, you...

Thanks. I corrected the color name. OBTW, I also have a 650 GT and mine was the ugly Havana brown color, which I hated, so I painted mine red. I like the red but I personally think the Platinum Bronze is still the best color, so if whoever buys Dave's scooter would rather have red, I will...

I am listing this for a friend. 2013 BMW 650 GT, Platinum Bronze color. 3900 mi. All stock except for a GIVI rear box mount (no box, only the mount). Located in So. California (San Diego, CA. Area). Very nice condition, never crashed or damaged. Open to reasonable offers. Call Dave...

The wheels have been sold.

Yep it is only the light weight Gold colored powder. At $1300 an oz I made sure they didn't use the heavy real Gold stuff for the coating. :)

I bought these as extra wheels and had them powder coated. I am still running the stock wheels that came on the bike.

---- THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN SOLD ----- I have two stock BMW C 650 scooter wheels for sale on E Bay. They have been powder coated gold. The front wheel includes the bearings and seals. This is the E Bay link: BMW Scooter Wheels C 650 GT Sport Motorcycle | eBay

Yes it's true our BMW's blur the line between a scooter and a motorcycle but I don't see this Honda as a scooter but rather just a more futuristic styled motorcycle. It is still a "swing your leg over" type of motorcycle instead of a "step through" or even a "step over" scooter. It appears to...

I sprayed silicone on the two plastic piviot pins and it helped (some other lube might work just as well too). It still opens a bit slow but it will now open on its own without needing additional help.

I haven't solved it, or even tried to solve it, but mine also does not give a very clear view when traveling at highway speeds (60 to 80 mph). I can still see what is behind me but it is a vibrating type of view. I agree it is annoying and I wouldn't expect that from BMW. Heck even my Harley...
