What's life like on something that heavy? No wonder you needed something more suited to city/urban riding. /QUOTE]
It's my "Magic Carpet." I love that bike. It's heavy to push around in the garage, but once it starts moving the weight disappears. My wife also loves that bike; it's not uncommon to see her reading her Kindle when we're doing long stretches of interstates. She does put it away when we get off the highways and onto the twisty back roads though.
It has even more cargo capacity than the scooter, too. The only real drawback is when you get stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. After an hour or so of riding the clutch, your left hand and arm get TIRED!!
It's also easier to squeeze the C650GT into tight parking spaces since it doesn't have those wide saddlebags to deal with (though the LT is one of the narrowest full-dress tourers on the road). We've test-ridden the K1600GLT (and even rented one for the whole week on our recent trip to Las Vegas) but we prefer the K1200LT for overall comfort.
