I just read a review of a guy who just bought a BMW 650gt on the Suzuki Burgman forum (Huh???) and claims that beyond 80 mph the 650gt feels unstable and shakes too much. Said the 2013 Burgman can hit 105 mph and still remains smooth. Do you you find this to be true? Your thought?
 
My c6Sport is totally stable at 100+ and is just fine for me and the missus at 90+ (the few times that we needed to get going that fast). Unless he has a picture of him on a GT I might question if he actually has ridden a C-series at all. I met a Burgman out on the open road one morning, I found it to be no challenge to the BMW as far as speed and stability was concerned.
 
My C650GT is like every other two-wheeled Beemer I've owned. The faster you go, the happier it seems. And you have NO idea how fast you're going unless you look at the speedometer.
 
I went thru the Stevens pass in Washington wa-520, in high speed curves at 95 and leaning to the sidewall, no shaking or rough ride. downhill my gps read 116 and smooth ride...
 
I got mine few weeks ago and it doesnt shake over 80. I did 90 on it today without any problems. The only issue I have is the temperature gauge. It seems like it is off by 5 degrees. Last night it was 72degrees outside but it said 77 on bike. Does anybody have the same issue? My average fuel meter seems like it is off too.
 
I travel every other week up to Dartmouth Hospital on I 91 for about 65 miles and I always have to check the speedometer because I'm always passing 85 and 90 mph the bike is smooth as Butter.
 
I ride at 90 or 100 mph at all times and I ride very day. I have the C650GT and I have about 5200 miles in just a few months.
I have owned two Burgman 650s before and Burgman is a nice scooter, it cannot beat BMW in any category. It specially sucks in handling and suspension area.
