On this forum and on the Google+ forum there are quite a few owners selling their scooters. The prices are not good for resale or trade. What are people buying, another BMW 2016 or some other scooter or motorcycle? I thought about buying a new C650GT but my dealer won't talk discounts for the...

I like my Kaoko. It works and I leave a little tension on all the time. Installation was a snap borrowing my mechanics tool.

I posted earlier about being able to charge through the lighter socket. I also have a pigtail added by the dealer directly to the battery to allow charging if I choose. Some dealers automatically add a pigtail to the battery to keep float chargers connected during inventory storage. The canbus...

I charge using the lighter adapter and have had no problems. Wonder why the manual says not to use the most convenient connector.

Flood bike similar to flood car. Sell one don't buy one.

Thank you.

Lets see now: Scooter-Low resale values Recalls Problems mechanical and electrical Unavailability of parts Redesign that changes very little. If I trade up I will likely not buy another Bmw although I do love my scooter but may trade...

My dealer had a 2014 and apparently BMW required money from the dealer to maintain the warranty. The dealer opted for a 2 year warranty and then sold the scooter to a guy who bought it for his wife as a gift. She is 5"4" and cant ride it. It is now back at the dealer and is for sale with 150...

I hesitate to even ask but is that a "police scooter"? It looks cool.

I just got an online survey for from BMW. I am trying to be reasonable but upset. I would like winter storage from the dealer and delivery in the spring as well as some remuneration from BMW for the 6 month loss of value for a product that depreciates faster than old beer. I thought I would buy...

My dealer dropped mine off his lift changing the rear tire. This happened early in August and I just got a call that it is ready. It was a mess and I am going to go over it with a fine tooth comb. He will have to deliver it or store it for me. I may be in the market for a 2016 but will not...

Lol I UNDERSTAND.

My dealer was changing a rear tire and dropped the bike basically smashing all of the panels and mirror. The force was transmitted to the ignition lock and the immobilizer ring which is only available from Germany. This happened in early August and I am still waiting although the part in now in...

2013 GT awaiting parts from Germany since August. Scoot will be ready just in time for winter. Grrrr.

The Indian Scout is also very cool and a bit smaller and less expensive.

Well.. My scooter was Granite silver. My dealer offered the out the door including tax title etc. my bike plus $4200 for the new one. I'm keeping my scooter. I do have some pictures and believe that the damage is mostly cosmetic and can be repaired. It will be perfect as it was before I accept...

Thank you for all the good advice. My C650GT is a 2013 that was bought used from another dealer. I calculate I have less than one year left on the warranty. The scooter on the showroom floor is a 2014 and with 0 miles and never titled will have the full three year warranty from when I would buy...

I picked up a nail on a trip from Pa to Northern Ohio so I felt lucky when my dealer told me he had a rear Metzler in stock. I limped to the dealer and waited 2.5 hours when the dealer came out and told me the scooter fell off of the work stand. My scooter has 6000 miles and has worked...

Just to point out that dish soap removes all wax on autos or bikes. My claybar instructions is to use dish soap to remove everything including wax. I use Ice Wax not regular Ice or detailing product. It can be used on plastic or glass and works to repel dirt and bugs. I try not to use a lot of...

This is getting absurd. I ride with a helmet always and an armor jacket and pants if going on a longer trip. If bicyclers use helmets at low speeds I am with them. On a sport bike at beyond highway speeds a helmet won't save your brain -- but I probably will wear one. No helmet = insane. As...
