    say NO to the TOP BOX!

    Since I don't have either the c600 Sport or the c650 GT (yet), I suppose I'm not really qualified to respond except from an aesthetic point of view. I don't think a top box looks quite right on the c600; IMHO, it would detract from the overall appeal of the sporty appearance. The soft bags...

    More C600 windscreen choices than just GIVI...

    I have some experience with the "Laminar Lip" windscreen accessory. It does improve wind noise and buffeting on the 2 bikes I've tried it on. Because I was looking for something a tad better and was transferable from bike windscreen to windscreen, I ordered this (MRA-Xcreen) clamp-on accessory...

    Wanna USE your parking brake WHILE RUNNING?

    A manually set hill-holding brake that is automatically released when you roll on the throttle.

    BMW does not care about me

    BMW doesn't care about me either IMHO, BMW has TERRIBLE customer service. I wont go too far into the details here, but I had a problem with my 2005 R1200RT. Soon after the standard warranty expired, the bike experienced a failure of the fuel strip. Very basically, the fuel strip sends a...

    Motorcycle.com's Maxi Scooter comparison

    Darn... I had pretty much concluded that the C600 Sport was the model for me, but now, thanks to the video, I'm leaning (no pun) more toward the C650 GT. :^/

    Wanna USE your parking brake WHILE RUNNING?

    Not that it's highly relevant to this discussion, however my 1996 BMW R1100RTL's sidestand kill switch wouldn't allow (no way, no how) the engine to run with the sidestand down. It was both safe and convenient when BMW changed this sidestand feature to permit my 2005 R1200RT's engine to run in...

    That's true. The low seat apparently doesn't leave enough room for the electrics.

    Wanna USE your parking brake WHILE RUNNING?

    It sounds like a good idea until you forget and ride off with the sidestand down and it causes a spill. I understand the convenience, but you have to assume the risk. (Unless the brake prevents you from making this mistake).

    Greetings

    I digress (a little) - I spoke to my dealer on the phone yesterday; I was seeking info/price/new features on the 2014 C600 Sport. I was told that they had no information yet. In fact, I was told that he didn't believe that BMW had started building 2014 C600s (???). Since I'm only interested...

    Greetings from Northern Virginia

    Yes, it seems fine now. This probably has absolutely nothing to do with it, but I used "quick reply" instead of "go advanced" for a couple of my initial posts and those are the ones that may have mysteriously vanished. I dunno. All is good now and I am happy, happy, happy. Thanks for asking!

    Does anyone know for sure whether a broken gas cap door will be fixed for free under warranty?

    Greetings

    Welcome! I'm more or less in the same boat as you. I've been trying to figure out which model scooter is better for me. I've been riding various bikes since the early 1970s, so shifting is probably not as much of an issue for me, but I have grown very fond of the twist-and-go throttle on my...

    hello

    Welcome. I'm new here, myself. It will probably be another few weeks before I get my C600 Sport. I need to take care of selling (or trading in) my BMW R1200RT and then crunching numbers with the dealer on the new scooter. I had strongly considered ordering one in white, but after seeing how...

    Greetings from Northern Virginia

    Note: Hmmmm. Something is really wrong. A few hours ago, I replied to another thread about inadequate mirrors. My reply has still not appeared; I don't understand. I got the same message as before regarding the fact that it must be moderator approved prior to actual posting. :confused:
