Greg, welcome aboard. Having put a couple thousand on a S'wing, I can definitely vouch for the GT.Thanks for letting me join in I have a Honda Silverwing currently but now looking at the BMW 650s
The first Silverwing i had ABS and i LOVED that feature cuz i never had it before. I like the BMW 650's cuz they haveGreg, welcome aboard. Having put a couple thousand on a S'wing, I can definitely vouch for the GT.
The handling alone, plus better braking, simply blows it away. You will find the storage 'almost' as good as the Honda. Neither seat is worthy out of the crate, but the S'wing was a medieval torture device by comparison. The only downside is that the GT's engine has more character, that you both feel...and hear, LOL. That comes at the price of a few less mpg than Honda's, too.
So what is the best MPG in city driving and backroads.? Heck i have been able to get as high as 62 mpg. BUT thatGreg, welcome aboard. Having put a couple thousand on a S'wing, I can definitely vouch for the GT.

ALL the good mileage i did was on my Silverwing that i still have til the appraiser comes up with the totaledI'm averaging 49.7 based on about 1000 miles so far. I keep an app on my phone called Fuel Log and enter the fill ups on anything I drive. This is mostly backroads riding with a bit of highway miles and a bit of stop and go as well, filling with premium. It does a bit better than my R12RT did which got about 42. Way better than the Can Am Spyder which gets about 28.
I also ride a C650GT in Tokyo. Maybe you're the other one I've seen on Route 246!?Hello. I'm a new member from Tokyo.
Have a C650GT in a garage waiting for a parking space nearby. First ride ever on a scooter, I was sold, but already have a number of mods in mind.
Cheers,
