Sorry, long gone. Traded for a newer R1250RS.

Have to agree with some of our brethren on here. Not sure I would recommend the C650 as a first bike. C400 is a completely different story. You may have better luck looking on CL or CycleTrader rather than from a dealer. And yes, it is a little tall, however at 5'8 and a 30" inseam, I merely...

That is actually a very good price!

What did you trade, what year? I traded my 2020 C650GT for a slightly larger bike as well; R1250RS. Even though the 650 was about half the displacement, the larger bike weighed about 40 pounds less.

Interestingly, I was looking for a BMW at a dealer in San Diego. They sold it before I could get it together but was seriously thinking of flying out and riding back, something I've done a few times for other bikes. The C650 I am trying to sell was actually in Portland, OR. Took AA up there and...

Looking to track down a slightly larger bike (BMW R1250RS) to replace this excellent scooter. I found it in Portland, OR and flew up to buy it and rode home to Texas, 2008 miles in 4 days. Fun stuff. $6300 Heated grips, seat Electric windshield BMW top box Kaoko 'cruise control' (actually a...

I have a 2020 C650GT in great shape with about 5400 miles.

Does not sound fun to me.

Curious here as well for my 2020 GT. And also wondering why someone thought they could charge their bike's battery from the pocket USB charger, which is attached to the same battery!? Or did I read some of the above comments wrongly?

Yikes, I had not heard of losing the windshield power if you changed batteries. And I swapped out my battery this summer since I have a 2020 and the bike needed to be kept on a trickle charger or it wouldn't start. Guess I was lucky.

Wow, I have nothing to add but agree, that is an odd sound! And my wife and I will be in Istanbul next month. Keith Quigley C650GT 2020 Texas

Interesting point. I have had other bikes (FJR1300 and ST1300) where the batteries lasted longer. Just need to keep it 'trickled' I suppose.

Seems like they must have made some upgrades! My 2020 I think is the last C650GT exported here. Not sure if they ever made any past that year in Germany. But I do enjoy riding it, have to say.

Interesting. If I had known the original was AGM, I would have titled this thread a little differently! Which model do you ride? Keith

Considering that the BMW battery installed said it was AGM sort of made my decision easier! Also, surprised to see it was apparently manufactured in PA, on the label. But I think 5 years is a pretty good lifespan.

My guess is that this is the original battery in my 2020, bought last summer up in Portland, OR and then ridden back to north Texas. I have to keep my GT on a battery tender now. If I unplug it and use it on my other bike, after 2-3 days I am unable to start the GT. When I looked at Cycle Gear's...

Same here. Was just curious but it seems they (BMW) along with most everyone else thinks 400cc engines are the way to go.

Just wondering if anyone knew where one might find the latest year model of the C650GT. All I can see when searching is up to 2020, the same year I bought. Did BMW just stop importing them here in favor of the smaller displacement? I can probably answer that by looking at what other...

When I bought mine, it already had the RAM quad phone holder mount on the right side. Worked pretty well on the 2000+ mile ride home after purchase (Portland. OR - Dallas area, Texas) Ended up replacing it so I could mount a Zumo from Garmin in the middle. Easier to read and no issue with the...

Interesting. I have both, a BMW C650GT (with the topbox) as well as a Yamaha Xmax 300. Like them both but for different riding. We have an RV and a Kendon (stand-up) trailer that we use to bring along one or the other scooter. If we are going for just a few days and will only stay within the...
