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...
Has anyone had any experience with semi-active suspension? I'm putting a deposit on an MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso and it comes with Sachs semi-active suspension. Basically, the suspension reads the road and adjust dampening in real time. Ducati calls it Skyhook. I believe the BMW Gs1200...
So I've been trying to figure the 0-60 time of the BMW scooters. I've seen published ranges anywhere from 5.5 - 7.5 seconds. Recently found this video of a guy topping out his c600 on youtube. Gets to an impressive 210 kph. I also used a stop watch to see how fast he got to 60mph and after...
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.
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...
So I have a cousin who lives in Kentucky and I was thinking of riding the scoot down to see him this fall. It is about a 450 mile ride one way. There are some nice open roads and I figure it could be fun to take a long scenic route. I've never done something like this before. The longest...
So after owning my C600 about 9 months I've been amazed at the attention I get on it. I get all kinds of stares and questions about it. Anyway, figured I'd start a thread on the various compliments folks have received while riding their scoots.
1) On the way home I pulled up at an...
So one of the reasons I bought my C600 was I really wanted a scoot that was more motorcycle like in both the power and handling department, but without the hassle of having to switch gears. Ninety percent of my daily riding is in stop and go traffic with speeds of less than 45mph so I really...
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?
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...
So I want to put an aftermarket exhaust on my c600. I don't expect any performance gains, but want something more aesthetically pleasing and that has a better exhaust note. The ones I am considering in no particular order are as follows:
Termignoni. I flip flop back and forth on if I like...
Just curious how many of you ride regularly on major highways? Where I am here in Chicago, getting on the highway is almost a must if I want to go anywhere. I can take back roads, but it adds a considerable amount of time and there is nothing scenic about them unless you call looking at strip...
So I disconnected battery to charge it up on battery tender. When I reconnected battery in bike it won't start. I get an EWS! Error message which according to the manual is the immobilizer. Neither of my keys work.
Any experience with this? Guess I'm going to have to call dealer to come...
So I was in NYC over Thanksgiving and I was really surprised at all the scoots I saw. I've been to NYC more times than I can count, but I wasn't really into scoots/motorcycles then, but now that I'm riding I guess I just notice them more on the street. I think I must have counted more than 75...
I haven't ridden in about 3 weeks now as the temps are solidly below freezing and we just got a few inches of snow today. :(
Anyway, while in the garage I decide to start up my c600 so I could at least hear the engine. The first thing I noticed is that the battery seemed almost dead. It...
