Hello All. I also googled the forum. I went to a BMW dealership in Indianapolis but they were not to exited about showing or even selling a scooter. The salesman told me he would rather be caught dead on a Harley than ride a scooter. So I ended up with a Honda Silver wing for my second Scoot. I would still like to ride a GT and experience the BMW quality.
The comfort, Ease of operation and utility of a Maxi scooters is what draws me to them. I thought I wanted a old bike to fix up and putts around with, so I got an old Honda gl500. I finally got it running and the first thing I noticed was it takes all 4 of my appendages to ride this thing. That was bothersome. Took it home and put a for sale sign on it. Both my other scoots ran rings around it anyway.

Yet another BMW Dealer that has his head up his A$$, what a shame!!!!!!! Sounds like the sales rep SHOULD work for Hardley D.
on a side note, I had 2 GL-500's; also known as Silverwings......Guzzi style

Yeah, I agree. Too bad for many motorcycle enthusiasts that would have so much fun on a C600 or C650GT....And be able to do so much more.
No doubt we will see more maxi's out there.

Like many others it was a simple Google search and desire to get and share thoughts and info on our rides. It seems that we don't have any trolls on this forum which is nice. Is it possible however to increase the timeout just a bit though? Thanks for the excellent admin.

Googled BMW Scooter forum and found it that way. It was the first or second link. I was a lurker for a few months, just reading different threads. Once I was close to picking my C650S up I joined the community.
Well, I found a great deal on a used c 650gt but I wanted to make an informed purchase. So, Youtube (which has taught me more than High School did) became my source for info. WebBikeWorld has a extensive set of vids on this machine and mentioned a forum online with thoughtful discussions. I just purchased the bike yesterday, and drove it for 30 miles before the weather turned sour. Totally happy and looking for some great touring and even the IronButt challenge. Hope to fit right in here and learn as much as I can from the wisdom you all share. If I can be of service to anyone who needs, I am happy to help.
I enjoy doing my own maintenance. Is there a site for helpful tips and/or help performing such maintenance? Thanks
