I'm certainly edified that the C series has been properly recognized. Tests of scooters by motorcycle publications in the past have usually been fairly condescending with full-race-leather boys wondering why the Honda Ruckus didn't leave them out of breath like the Diavel they just got through testing. Now, like the T-Max, they are testing a scooter that is much more familiar to their motorcycle tastes. I bought the BMW because I wanted a bike with the convenience of scooter and the heart of a motorcycle. The BMW delivers that. If I were in the hectic bumper-to-bumper traffic snarl that is Rome - I might appreciate a lighter, more agile Vespa. However, on the endless highway that is Texas, I own the Best Scooter. Thank you BMW.
