I've tried a lot of configurations: Stock (currently using) Stock with Puig extender Wunderlich Givi (currently have still in the box) Calsci (Small) These are my opinions at 6' 02": The Givi is the best out of all of them whisper quiet but still has adequate air flow and it is very...

Thanks. I was hoping it was "small world" connection that we both might have had.

I have a buddy who lives in Italy. There is no bigger two wheel enthusiast than him. He bought the Tmax two years ago, has ridden it over 50,000 Kms, not one issue and swears it is the best bike out of the box you can buy. You're going to be fine with whatever you buy (it seems) with your...

Is your buddy Brian Kopp by chance, Bill? Cruise is on the AKs hitting our shores?

I see Bill mentioned the AK550. Holy cow what a lovefest the owners have for this bike. These guys and girls are doing everything with them, touring to grocery getter and they are just adored. Might be worth a ride. I did sit on one before buying the BMW.

Nope. I love Hondas. I’ve owned 4 (traditional form factor bikes) and still have one that I’m riding from Florida to Toronto Canada then Florida to some western state to be named. I have zero reservations about the reliability of the brand. If I could only have one bike, and I was going to...

Exactly. Funny. I read about low motorcycle accident rates in Rome, then I went there. Though motos are moving faster than cagers, they’re still only going 20 miles an hour, tops. Lower speeds almost always translates to fewer accidents. Off topic. Sorry.

I think there would need to be factorial fuel price increases for large scale two-wheel adoption to occur here in the USA. You can search for the data, there are many sources, showing there is little change in gas consumption during the time periods where gasoline prices increase. If I recall...

What would make you believe that a BMW single cylinder CVT bike is less capable than a similarly designed bike from another manufacturer? They all have gaskets, most have belts, the clutches are sometimes interchangeable across brands. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, and it is more...

Yup. I'd also be on a Yamaha or Honda higher displacement scoot if they were offered here. Who knows? If BMW does go all electric on their urban mobility line, one or the other may sense the timing is right.

Yes, it is reliable. Low mileage failures are anecdotal in my opinion. However, low mileage failures are also very impactful to the person experiencing such an event. If you look at the Facebook forum, you'll see over 6K owners contributing with only a few mentioning engine failures and...

I've never heard of that. Not sure why radar detectors are illegal in most of Australia if LEOs don't use radar and laser. Government wouldn't care if the devices are meaningless. Not being argumentative, I do not live there. I trained with Aussie cops at FLETC. They used to be able to...

Though I am not contributing very much, this is a very interesting thread. A lot of owners are going to benefit from the contributions here.

I think those are the two videos I was trying to post. I don't have a Tik Tok account. Good news on it being available on YouTube.

I did. It's the videos of how Phad modifies the C400Gt to activate TPMS. They will not play through a link posted here though, so it was useless.

Holy #$%!!!!! They better come up with a solution because I'd steal one too at those prices should the need present. For the record, that is pure hyperbole. I'm a retired cop and now lead an anti-fraud program for a Fortune 50; I don't even fudge the numbers on my taxes....I've been in many...

I missed this when you first posted. Thank you very much for this. The timing is excellent for me as I am planning a trip to Canada on my NC. I'll start looking at this more closely and would be super interested to learn if it is easy to transfer the main processing unit from bike to bike...

Very odd. Out of nowhere, after ECU software update and dealer adjusting Idle speed through the ECU to the appropriate range, the idle speed is back up to 1900. I have no idea how it works, or if it is a "learning" ECU. The reason I am considering that is that the bike died during warm up...

You might want to message @wspollack. Though I have not met him personally, we do shoot messages back and forth and he is an owner of a C400GT, one of the not too many of us who have stripped one down (I think twice in his case). I can assure you that he is a very thoughtful and experienced...

I've had a few Puig screens, never on a C650 though. They've only been just okay, never really effective at reducing noise, and only in some cases meaningfully reducing buffeting. I still have the v-tech on my NC750X and just ordered a replacement from Madstad as I am riding up to Canada on it...
