So I think I want to get a GoPro. I'm thinking of doing some video blogging. I'm curious if any of you are using a GoPro on your scoots and how did you mount them? Or would maybe a chest or helmet mount work better?

The highest setting creates a lot of helmet buffeting for me. Once I get to about 60mph, I feel like I'm in the ring with Floyd Mayweather. The middle setting has similar helmet buffeting at 60mph but is exponentially louder as it directs the air right into the face of my helmet. Almost too...

I've got 1300 miles on mine and it has been flawless except for a tire pressure monitor failure. Recently had the 600 mile service. Bike seems to be getting better mileage. I'm willing to deal with the growing pains if any since there really isn't anything else available here to compete with...

I've seen numbers posted anywhere from 5.5 to 7.5 seconds. The BMW technical manual says 7.1 for C600 and 7.5 for C650. It feels like low to mid 6s to me based on highly accurate butt-o-meter. I know it is rare that any car can out run me at a light other than faster sports cars which leads...

Man, that is f8cked up. That is some straight up out of one of those Final Desitination horror movies. Left turning driver's definitely scare me. I usually try to stay in the right most lane when coming up to an busy intersection. I also sometimes actually try to ride as close to the car...

So my C600 must look fast. I had some dipwad in a Volvo T5 literally trying to drag race me at a light yesterday. The street had a 55 mph speed limit. I tend to accelerate pretty hard at stop lights to get away from cars for my own safety. This guy absolutely did not want me to out...

I'd bet the dealer just isn't informed on the various issues affecting the bike. I know I probably have higher expectations than reality, but I'd be surprised if dealers are as knowledgeable about the issues as the typical reader who follows this and other message boards. I can't tell you how...

I think it is because most scooters being ridden in a leisurely manner. I just use my best judgment to dictate gear based on where and how I will be riding. For my daily commute on the c600, I am in jeans, sturdy shoes, armored jacket, armored gloves, full face helmet. Basically, any time I...

Most of purist don't really "get it". Trying to get motorcyclist to understand an automatic on a bike is like trying to explain texting to your grandparents. I do wish the BMW had a DCT like the Honda though. It seems to be a very well designed gearbox.

I think the hardest part of getting used to windy conditions is not panicking. The first couple of times I got hit by a gust of wind at high speeds, I did like most newbies and tensed up which only makes the drifting feeling worse as someone mentioned. Once I learned to just relax by not...

I didn't feel like they gave enough review of the c600 performance, but always like watching reviews.

Or you can just point out that scooter riders don't need to dress up like the Village People to look cool.

+10. After the first few highway jaunts I made on the 300, I immediately started looking for a bigger bike. Between the wind, road imperfections, and somewhat sluggish acceleration at higher speeds I just don't think they are highway capable. They may be highway legal, but definitely not...

My Vespa 300 would get blown around a lot. It was very unsettling imho at higher speeds and one of the reasons I bought the c600. I don't know how some people ride Vespa's at 60mph+. Yes, they can do it fairly easily, but I wouldn't call it stable or safe imho. I find my c600 to fairly solid...

I was looking for the ultimate in urban mobility. :) I grew up riding 80cc dirt bikes and an aunt bought me a Honda Elite 80 scooter when I was 12 or 13 years old. Had a blast riding it around our neighborhood. So I'm not adverse to having a scooter. Fast forward almost 30 years. I was...

I think it belongs in the new Batman movie, but I do applaud them for pushing the envelope. Too many companies are unwilling to take risks or try something new. I hope this means they are going to be putting that DCT engine in other models. Maybe a CBR600 with DCT?

I don't get it either. My profession is 100% commission and it forces you to work all the time because you don't get paid if you aren't closing deals. I don't expect to be pounced on when I enter a showroom, but at the same time I didn't even get an acknowledgement of my presence. Literally...

Don't know if my dealer offers loaners. I didn't ask, nor did I really expect it. However, I guess it is nice particularly if your bike is going to be in the shop for an extended period of time. However, the delivered the bike to my house free of charge like 30 minutes after I bought it...

Yeah, I was going to try it with the screen in the mid position to see how that works. Right now, any speeds over about 55mph for me cause some serious head buffeting for me with the screen in the highest position. I do have a taller after market screen too, but I think I prefer the stock...

Went on my first extended high speed highway ride for about 20 miles this weekend. It wasn't too bad. Up until this point, most of my highway riding was fairly limited between a few on/exit ramps or relatively slow speeds/stop & go traffic. Jumped in the left lane and cruised at about...
