When I did my ride from Chicago to Nashville, I basically used my Dainese mesh jacket. Jeans. Alpinestars S-Mx-1 boots. It was like 100 degrees. Absolutely brutal. I'd highly recommend carrying some rain gear. I had motorcycle specific over pants and jacket that block the wind and rain. I...
Gnslngr, Do you have a blue one with a top case? I've only seen two other c600 sport's in Chicago. My co-worker's which is silver and a top case and I've seen a blue one with a top case riding around downtown occasionally.
I have plans to order one. On my last ride, all I wanted to do was to be able to take my right arm and let it stretch/rest for a few minutes while cruising down the highway. I had a throttlebuster but it didn't work worth a damn imho I could barely move my right arm after that ride for two or...
It seems clear that they heard users want better response off the line. However, they are still quoting the same 0-60 times in the article I saw so one wonders if they made any real performance improvement.
I'm really disappointed with the lack of cruise control. I don't know why they are...
I'll definitely have to test ride one to see if it makes a significant difference. Hopefully, they will bring the sport back to the US. really annoyed they didn't offer cruise control. That is the one feature right now that is making me consider giving up my scoot for a legit sport tourer.
I...
Like the C600. Wonder if it will make it to the US. I wonder if there will be any performance changes (I'd love for the scoots to be more responsive off the line).
What is the old saw? You can build it cheap, high quality, and fast. Pick two.
I think the biggest complaint people have though is that when something goes wrong, many companies are slow to admit fault or offer reasonable solutions. The irritation increases relative to the amount paid for...
Try Shoe-Goo. It will hold it and fairly easy to remove and won't damage the plastic. I use it all the time to secure things in my offroad RC cars. If it can hold an electronic speed control to my car's chassis after bottoming out the suspension from a 10 foot high jump, it will hold that...
The ability to move my feet around with the floorboards really made the ride bearable. Very convenient when needing to shift positions to keep the blood flowing. The lack of different foot positions on sport tourers I've been considering is the one thing that concerns me.
I really can't...
It was about 100 degrees and high humidity. We did 500 miles the first day. Stopped every 100 miles. It was so hot, we didn't even need bathroom breaks as we sweated out every ounce of fluid. There were times I didn't want to stop as I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back on the bike...
So I had the chance to finally do a really long ride on my C600. I rode from Chicago to Nashville the other week for a charity ride. All the other riders were on cruisers of varying models. I had a great time, the riders were accepting, and we raised a bunch of money for a children's...
Dealer claims they are expecting them September / October which probably means December or January as no one in the US has one yet that I'm aware of. They have two models. I'm going for the Lusso which is the one with the electronic suspension. Those haven't rolled off the assembly line yet...
Motorcyclist are finally coming around. BMW offers up & down quick shifting now so you still have to shift, but you only need the clutch when starting from a stand still. Not quite as good as fully auto, but still better. MV Agusta has it too now on their Turismo Veloce which is my next bike...
I owned a Vespa 300 before buying my C600. The 300 was great around town. Had enough grunt for most urban traffic and a lot easier to maneuver in tight spaces. I literally just sold the 300 over the weekend.
My biggest issue with the 300 is that I didn't feel it had enough power for longer...
I'm always getting questions and comments about my c600. I also see people staring at it (after all, it is really sexy). Most seem surprised it is a scooter. Then they are really surprised when I pop the seat and throw two bags of groceries in it. They really bug out when I tell them it has...
For some reason, I am just now seeing this damn near 8 mos later. LOL.
I'm leaning towards the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce or a BMW GS1200. Can't decide if I want a Ferrari or a G-Wagon. LOL.
I recall reading a post on here where someone said they work pretty well. I've thought about buying a set, but never got around to it. I can see a need for them when it starts getting cooler. I've found the heated grips only work so well. The wind eventually penetrates my winter gloves and my...
