Hi from north central Florida.
I bought my 2024 c 400 GT last fall, after selling my Can AM Spyder (never could buy in to the handling on 3 wheels). Had bikes since I was14, from 50 cc to Gold Wing, with CL, RT, Nomads, Concurs, 3 other Hondas and a KZ 650 until now at 71. Sneaked a 2025 CRF 300L in after the Can Am thinking lighter would help me with current health capabilities, was fun, tried a few hundred miles, but ended up selling when couldn't love it.
So far the c 400 is fitting in quite well, it's no RT, but 2 lane Florida roads don't need 100mph+++ the RT provided, and the Gold Wing was just too much like sitting in a car. With the C 400 I am amazed how much they squeeze out of this little motor, I can cruise at 70-75 on the Interstate or stroll along at 50 getting 70mpg, listening to Wind FM Stereo. ( I'll cover all my current mods in the mod thread.)
The forum is pretty quiet, but several regulars have lots to share. Mr. Pollack tried hard to help me with some fairing work and was appreciated. Thanks.
As the 4th BMW to own, I am familiar with a lot of quirks they can invent. (sideways tire stems, 100% failure rate gas gauge sensors, unreliable handlebar controls, etc.) and more than once I said "not again", but here I am. Probably be the last bike I buy (never heard that before).
