I believe my dealer said the sell 650s 4 to 1 over the 600. I still think the scooters overall aren't selling as well here because BMW is doing a piss poor job marketing them.

Mine just has that hot exhaust smell. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I bought my new 2013 c600 for $9k not including taxes/title in October of 2013. There was the $1000 rebate and the dealer had it for $400 or $500 under list with the highline package if I recall correctly. The bike carries it's weight very well. There is a low seat option that may help but...

A wise man once said "If all else fails, read the instructions..." I typically leave mine on the trip meter that resets if the bike isn't started for 24 hours as I like knowing how much I've ridden in a day.

You won't regret it.

Is a warning light on saying their is a fault with the TPMS? My rear one was pretty much dead from the day I bought the scooter. It was a dead battery in the TPMS sensor. They replaced it when I brought the bike in for the recall work. Mine had a warning light on indicating communication...

I'm in Chicago so our weather situation is a bit like NYC. Maybe a little worse. I don't know how people ride without heated seats and grips. The seat gets hot. Hot enough that I typically wind up having to turn it off at some point. I don't know that it is worth $1000 though as a...

The other thing that bugs me about the N44 is that it doesn't fit under the seat in the c600. You have to take the chin guard off. Not a big deal, but I really wanted to just plop it in under the seat. The helmet is kind of long.

I use a Nolan N44. Superb visibility similar to an open face helmet, but full face protection. I was thinking about getting a Schuberth C3 Pro North America edition, but I really can't justify spending the money. My Nolan is getting the job done.

I've never really used the flexcase. It is convenient if you are riding two up and want to store the helmets or maybe your riding gear, but other than that I haven't found it all that useful. I just wish there were a better tunnel option. Maybe a hardcase that fit the tunnel.

I had a Vespa 300 for about four months before deciding to upgrade to the BMW c600. The C600 is basically a daily driver for me. It does everything and more that the Vespa did. Yes, it is a large scoot, but I have had no issues maneuvering it around in downtown Chicago with ease. I also love...

My Vespa seems to be off a consistent 5mph or so. However, the speedo on my BMW seems to be right on the money at least when I go through those radar traps.

I keep saying I want a new bike but then I go out and ride my c600 and realize how great this machine is as an all around motorcycle/scooter. Between the heat seat/grips, power, storage, and comfort, it is really hard to beat this bike. We for a ride last night into town to pick up some...

yes, racers (across all kinds of disciplines) are far more inclined to just stick with the devil they know versus trying something new. However, sanctioning bodies also often times hamper development of new technologies with rigid rules. It is rare that you see something developed for the...

Really surprised there hasn't been any development of more advanced front forks on motorcycles. Seems like an antiquated design.

So the 2015 r1200rs is really calling my name. Sporty, but not a crotch rocket. I like the touring bits. Also like that it has semi-auto up & down shifting (except from a stop). Also still looking at the Multistrada. The Nine T and Scrambler are also calling my name for different reasons.

I like the paint/sticker schemes on both.

Gotcha. The slight delay at take off is the one complaint I have about the c600. It pulls pretty hard once the clutch engages but it does make it feel sluggish for a 650cc bike at start.

That is about what I got out of the comparison and others I've read. I'm curious as to how different the clutch setup is on the t-max versus the BMW.

When the scoots were first released, I recall reading a few reports of a low speed stalling issue. Personally, I've never experienced it. There was a recall for the side stand as some people had it loosen just enough to trigger the engine shut off. I don't know if the two issues are related.
