I'm 6ft, 33inch inseam, 235-240lbs and my Vespa GTS300 worked well. It had plenty of power. Great acceleration and it could cruise at 65mph+ . I thought it was a great scooter for tooling around town. All the power you would need and more unless you are highway riding. The BMW is very comfy...

I find the BMW drains batteries really fast. Mine died after not riding for about three weeks to the point where I couldn't even get it to recharge. I replaced the battery with a lithium battery. Weighs less than half what the stock battery weights and cranks stronger. My Vespa starts right...

The stock exhaust isn't bad. Just want something that looks and sounds better. Just a way to customize the scoot. The only other mods I plan to make are the BMW emblem turn signals and dr. pulley sliders/HIT clutch. Don't know if you have seen them. They look bad ass.

So I want to put an aftermarket exhaust on my c600. I don't expect any performance gains, but want something more aesthetically pleasing and that has a better exhaust note. The ones I am considering in no particular order are as follows: Termignoni. I flip flop back and forth on if I like...

Yes, I don't think people realize how bad the driving is here. Roads are horribly maintained and very aggressive drivers. Neither make for very relaxed PTW riding. I've driven in most major cities in the US and none seem as bad as Chicago imho, even NYC. Knowing how bad it can be for me...

Unfortunately, no HOV lanes here. I'm sure that makes a huge difference. I notice a ton of bikes in the HOV lanes when I visit Atlanta. They have nice big open highways down there. Super smooth, wide lanes. The scoot has more than enough power to keep up. I've cruised at 75+ with no...

Just curious how many of you ride regularly on major highways? Where I am here in Chicago, getting on the highway is almost a must if I want to go anywhere. I can take back roads, but it adds a considerable amount of time and there is nothing scenic about them unless you call looking at strip...

I hear you. But I'm not going to lie, that bronze Tmax looks badass.

Yuck. But I guess they will sell well in urban environs. I'd be interested if it were more CCs like an MP3. Maybe a 500c model.

It definitely looks like some kind of new maxi-scoot at the 4 or 5 second mark. The seat looks very maxi-scooterish.

I'm beginning to think it is something similar. I couldn't find anything in the manual though. The only reason it had me concerned was that I know there have been some reports of low speed stalling and I didn't know if this might be related.

I don't think that would be it. It isn't that cold. I am able to duplicate the stalling/stuttering on the center stand. There was no sign of this issue while riding at all. Bike rode perfectly. No issues with low throttle inputs. However, when the bike is on the center stand, if I give it...

So I took my c600 for the first time since about late october! We finally had a warm day (45 degrees!) and most of the snow has melted and I could get her out of the garage finally. I didn't ride long, just wanted to put a few miles on around the neighborhood to remember what riding felt like...

I think I seen or read every comparison published. There are quite a few on youtube. While I don't have any first hand experience with the TMax, the summary I get from all the reviews consistently is the following in comparing stock TMax vs stock c600: 1) C600 is a bit faster in acceleration...

Very anxious to see your opinions of the TMax vs the C600. That 530 is a nice looking bike. It is a shame that Yamaha doesn't think we are worthy. I would have given it serious consideration. Maybe they will surprise us and bring a 600 or 750 version here someday.

That is cool! That is actually what I was looking for when I originally started looking at motorcycles. I wanted a dirt bike/adventure/motard style bike for urban riding but I didn't want to deal with shifting in traffic. I wish BMW would cross the c600 with a GS. That'd would be nice. Kind...

Good review.

I own a c600 and here is my take. It is more power than you will need under any circumstance. It doesn't accelerate as fast as say a crotch rocket, but it will blow the doors off most cars at a stoplight unless you are challenging m3s or similar sports cars. You will get to 60mph in about...

Looks nice. I'm not into the racing stripes though. I'm really surprised BMW or some other company hasn't offered some peel and stick graphics for the scoot though. I'd like to see some brighter and quirky colors and designs.

I ride through LaGrange all the time. I sometimes take Ogden out to Brookfield to go to Galloping Ghost arcade (neat vintage video game place). There are a few scooterist in Oak Park. I've seen a few guys riding BMW motorcycles as well. Oak Parkers love to think they are they center of the...
