Yes. It sounds a little louder, but everything feels tighter.

I use some disposable foam ones I buy at the drugstore. They seem to work well enough blocking wind noise. I'd be afraid to be totally deaf while riding.

I've got a black Akrapovic on my Vespa. Love the way it looks and sounds. Over the top? Nah...

Any real world performance number gains?

Just got mine back. Engine doesn't feel as sloppy off the line and feels more torquey. I feel like it accelerates a bit faster.

Mine is scheduled for tomorrow.

I know the gauge won't recognize a full tank if you don't completely turn off the power when filling up. In my case, I ran out of gas after only 9 miles since the fuel light came on. I think the inaccuracy was due to having my battery die earlier as I Normally can ride about 30-40 miles before...

I ran out out of gas yesterday while out for a quick ride :( . Scared the crap out of me as I was on a four lane road going about 50mph with cagers all around me. Fortunately, I was able to get over and the scoot didn't stop on a hill. I was only about 1/2 a mile from the nearest gas station...

The Nine T is really calling my name. I kind of want a retro / unique looking bike but I also like the fact it has modern updates like ABS. The VFR1200 is attractive as think it would be fun on longer rides and I really like the DCT option. However, it might be too much bike for me size and...

So I kind of want to add a different bike to the stable. I don't know that I really want to replace the C600 as it is just too practical. However, I would kind of like to ride something else. The following have caught my eye. Just wanted to get some thoughts on them: Honda VFR1200 DCT...

I usually put in 3 to 3.5 gallons when I fill up after the light comes on. I'm only averaging about 42 mpg (stop & go city riding most of the time). So I just assume I can go another 30 miles before I really need to fill up. However, gas stations are so plentiful in my area I see no point in...

Got my letter yesterday too. Will call dealer today and see what they say....

Yeah, I really didn't get why they put a step through. It really is more like a "hop over". I stopped trying to step through because my shoe heel kept scratching that hump. I would have preferred they just threw a trunk in the middle for more storage space kind of like the Honda NC has where...

I really feel BMW made a huge marketing mistake calling the C series scooters. Traditionalist hear scooter and immediately get closed minded or start judging without really giving it a chance. I do tend to describe my c600 as a cross between an automatic motorcycle. However, most of the folks...

Just thought this was funny. I sometimes ride my Vespa or BMW to a company meeting. Several of the employees know I have a Vespa, but not many know about the BMW. Anyway, a co-worker who also has a Vespa came up to shoot the sh*t and mentioned he saw someone else rode a blue sport bike to the...

I received the notice weeks ago and finally got around to calling my dealer. The don't have the parts and they said another letter would be going out indicating the parts are in for the service to be completed. Something is telling me this won't get done till spring. Riding season ends here...

I was on the highway the other day and a guy on a GS1200 came up behind me. I could see him in my rear view mirror trying to check out the scooter and the WTF face as I'm cruising at 80mph in the fast lane. I think the editor of the article pointed out in the comment that the beauty of the C...

Skutorr, that is exactly my point. Most of the maxi-scoots are closer to motorcycles these days than scooters imho. it doesn't bother me one way or the other as my C600 fits me needs, but at the same time I think they are losing potential customers with the nomenclature.

I feel like BMW made a marketing mistake calling the c600/c650 scooters. At least here in the US the term scooter is not viewed as a positive or implies small CC beach bum bike that will hit 35 mph down hill with a Tornado behind it. I don't even call mine scooter anymore when someone ask me...

Nearly every other motorcycle rider I've come across has liked my c600. I was watching Bourne Legacy, the latest Jason Bourne movie and noticed that in the motorcycle chase scene at the end of the movie the bad guy is riding a TMax.
