When opened the fuel cap cover interfered with the trunk lid on the early models. Only happened to knuckleheads, though. Here's what I did with mine. ;)

I've been thinking about adding one. Good to know about the 750 vs the 700. Interesting alternative - or addition - to a touring scooter.

Ha...Yup:D

Hey Skutorr, Didn't your brother by a NC700 DCT? If so, how does he like it? Steve

No doubt you guys know it's always best to leverage your dealer....or learn to speak German:D

The Piaggio BV...one of the great mid-size PTWers. No doubt it was tough to give up, but my guess is that you'll find the Beemer C to be a great addition to your garage. Classic Vespa and new age BMW. You are one lucky individual.

Hey Thom, Here's a thread from a few years ago before all the new fancy pants BMW upgrades and adjustments to the latest versions..... Steve https://www.bmw-scooters.com/forum/threads/862-Thank-You-BMW

Yup, plus it becomes intuitive after a little bit of use. I did have something similar to the Go Cruise on another bike and found it worked pretty great, too. Personal preference, I guess. For me that's always factory cruise control even with the extra cost. Maybe someday on the super C bikes.

That's what I did on another bike plus "warmed" it with a hair dryer being careful not to overheat the area. Of course, what is tacky to one guy may be the opposite to another.:cool:

Super excellent, Mike! I wonder how many parts I would have left over if I tried that?!? :D. But it sure sounds like it's worth the effort.

Yeah man, that's pretty lousy luck. I had a minor accident at the end of 2015 (no other vehicles involved) that necessitated a couple knee operations and put my hip replacement off for a year. One of my bikes has a sidecar so I could sneak out on that thing without getting into too much trouble...

I switched off between a CGT a Harley Road King, and a KLR 650. 3 different weights, seat heights, and COGs. I didn't have a problem.

A lot of the TPMSs should probably be looked at as "directional" in nature. I've had more bikes without them than with them, but prefer those with.

A number of years ago when I had my Harley Road King I wanted something lighter for around town so I added a Kymco 300GTI. Lightweight scooters are a lot of fun. I would tell other HOG members to think about adding one to their garage. Of course, the C series is a few steps above the lighter...

No question the CGT and RT are different and both have their advantages. I have usually been a multi-bike owner while always trying(?) to get down to that "one" bike. If it were me, I'd ditch the bike I don't ride very often, but that takes some time. Motorcycles are fun and can take you...

I guess I'll weigh in here. I am not a current owner of a BMW scooter; haven't been for a few years. Currently own a Triumph Explorer and a Ural Mir (sidecar). I really like both bikes, but if I could only own one bike the CGT would be near the top of the list (nothing against the C, just never...

Hey Carl, So you've had a few chances to take your bike out on the road. What do you think?

Maybe it was technique ... Or, maybe it was adrenaline. The key probably is to, #1 Know that nearly all of us have dropped a bike or two and if you ride in dirt/sand you've been down a bunch of times, #2 There ain't no shame in it. Happens to pros, too, and #3 Your bike may be a very important...

Good tires heated up will be a big plus.....And avoiding tornados!;)
