"I think its more of a crazy shit show than CL" So true. You'll see scams. First inquiry, without a single question about the bike: "Give me your phone number and I'll Zelle you the money now and my cousin will pick it up. I'm overseas in the military." Uh, no thanks. The positive of Facebook...

Big Bob, For current or future reference, Florida is a good market year-round. Facebook Marketplace ads are free and you could post down here noting the bike is in Virginia and would need to be shipped. I've bought and sold a dozen maxi-scooters in the last half dozen years on Facebook. It...

"His search will never be over, Mike is a hunter and the C650 is his prey ..." I like the light white 2020. That was my target before the matte blue GT found me. Never say never, as Ceesie says. Here is a 2018 GT the guy painted BMW red! Very striking with a matching BMW top case and low...

"Is there really a reason to prefer the Burgy?" The C 650 GT is fast. But the Burgman 400 feels quicker up to 40 mph. Two different types of rides. I feel lucky to have both. I love the BMW's gravitas. I ride it smoothly for the most part, with occasional bursts of enjoying the power and...

Ha, fair point, guilty as charged. My average buy-to-sell in the past few years is six months and 6,000 miles. Different market today. Harder to find a great deal and more challenging to sell. With the mileage so low on this GT, I plan to keep it long-term and use it sparingly and well. I'm...

Sometimes the bike finds you .... I've been riding a Burgman 400 since last summer when I bought a pretty white one in Buffalo, New York and rode it home to South Florida. Great bike, tons of fun with a big, solid ride and 73 mpg in the mountains of Pennsylvania! For the last few months, I've...

You really don't need me to Google "bmw c 650 gt shad luggage rack" for you, but because you're named Mike, I will. This rack says it fits 2012 to 2020 GT's so it looks like you're safe to transfer...

Honestly couldn't tell you. I find the BMW tach system lacking, if not annoying. The horizontal bars in steps of 1,000 rpm's is imprecise and hard to read at speed. My general sense is the new sliders didn't have much effect on rpm's.

That actually may have been the factory press release ;o). I remember copying + pasting for future reference.

From BMW (answer to your question in "Technology" section): 2016+ MODELS New suspension and damping set-up for an ideal compromise between sport and comfort. In addition to ABS, now also ASC is standard for maximum safety when accelerating. Completely new, dynamic design for the C 650 Sport...

Had a similar experience in 2023. I was planning a summer ride from Florida to New York and came to the conclusion that it would be more enjoyable on a bigger bike than my 2019 C 650 GT. I found a 2007 R 1200 RT with 17,000 miles for $4,500 -- a steal of a deal because the owner was moving to...

"I meant intentional hyperbole used by the author, not you!" Haha, I got your meaning. Your point makes sense. It's all about getting clicks and generating reader comments, right? (and I fell right into their trap, posting a response on their site ;o).

A rider posted this link on a Burgman forum .... You can rent a CE04 for $150 a day with $250 refundable deposit. Be still, my beating heart. I am very eager to spend a day with this bike. https://www.palmbeachevrentals.com/majorunit/2022BMWCE04_For_Rent_LakePark_FL/2022BMWCE04

I began this article with an open mind, willing to agree. I finished it feeling like a contrarian, disagreeing with almost all the author's suppositions .... "We want $5,500 motorcycles that weigh 230 pounds ..." Huh? I like a solid bike under me, especially on an interstate. So, no, "we"...

That's the tool. Mine has a different part # stamped on it (photo). I've used it on a few BMW C 650 GT's (invaluable tool, a Godsend!). Don't think the part is different for a Sport but I can't say that conclusively.

The upper and lower markers are inside the reservoir. Since you're not seeing a bubble, it's full and maybe even overfilled, which means pushing the calipers out could force fluid to squeeze out the top of the reservoir, and brake fluid would be nasty on this bike's tupperware. I'd open the...

I have a black, open face Schuberth M1, so I don't have the quiet of a modular helmet (nor do I have the claustrophobic feeling I get from them). Unless I'm using the built-in comm system, I wear foam ear plugs so it's pretty quiet. I bought my first Schuberth decades ago, the same day I...

"How many miles can one expect out of a Chain on the C600 Sport? ... Also do you have a wiring schematic for at least the headlamp section please?" Alas, sorry, can't help on both counts. Don't know anything about Sports and even less about wiring; it's all Greek to me. Service Manual might be...

Drawing is for the BMW C 650 GT. It's for changing GEAR OIL and the correct spec is 250 ml. 500 ml is the correct spec for the CHAIN OIL, which is what the video shows -- that's not gearbox oil. Both call for 75W90 oil. The chain case has chain rails that are replaced every 15,000 miles. They...

Maybe the Sport is different than the GT (I know nothing about the Sport), but to change gearbox oil in the GT, you drop the exhaust manifold, or figure out how to Houdini your way to the drain and fill plugs. It's a big job, so it's nice that BMW specs changing it every 24,000 miles. The guy in...
