    BMW smaller scooter 300 cc - 350 cc?

    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...

    BMW smaller scooter 300 cc - 350 cc?

    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...

    For sale. 2013, 650 GT w/ 3900 mi. Located in So. California.

    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...

    Ever had your topcase some off while riding?

    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...

    For sale. 2013, 650 GT w/ 3900 mi. Located in So. California.

    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...

    BMW C 650 Wheels - Front & Rear - Powder coated Gold

    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. :)

    New Honda Scooter?

    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...

    Fuel tank cover broken

    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.

    Wobbly Mirrors....

    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...

    Well, how about your successes and praises for these scoots?

    The things I like about my 2014 BMW 650 GT are the same things I liked about it when I first checked out the specs and read the reviews. Like Old Scoot I too have been riding motorcycles since the mid 60's and therefore have owned numerous brands and models. Each seemed to have features I...

    How's CHROME for a C-series color?

    It is probably a spray chrome application. This is a You Tube video (in Jay Leno's Garage) demonstrating how the product works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-1cTpSZ1l8 As I posted sometime earlier, I painted my four main body panels red (hated the brown) and I am considering doing the...

    Wanna USE your parking brake WHILE RUNNING?

    I agree, silicone should work well. I didn't want to use silicone (or any permanent sealer) until I was sure I wasn't ever going to put it back to stock, but I may do the silicone thing now. A little shrink tubing with silicone should make it quite water tight. However, since I almost never...

    Wanna USE your parking brake WHILE RUNNING?

    I thought someone might ask this question, and I almost tried to take a picture, but I didn't think it would show up very well. Therefore, since I obviously didn't do it, I will just try explain it instead. I never attempted to insert the plug back onto the side stand connector (and after the...

    Wanna USE your parking brake WHILE RUNNING?

    I love it I did the side stand (engine shut-off elimination) modification on my bike today and I love it. I was beginning to wonder just how long my starter was going to last since I had to restart the bike every time I got off it to open (and close) gates, garage doors, etc. This may be a...
