Shows us your scooter!
This is my ride it was delivered to me on October 12th at noon hour. It was also the first one delivered in North America (it sits in front of my 1958 BMW Isetta)
I test rode a red one on August 18th and bought this one over the phone mid September. And loving all moments on it. Since this picture I have added a BMW top box a gps and a drink holder.
interesting juxtaposition there :thumb
Traded in the R1200RT!
Excited to be back on a Maxi-scoot, I always liked the comfort, convenience and vast storage for my photo gear.
Not the best time of year for riding in New England, Looking forward to next season!
Is that the bmw top case?
That is the Shad SH48 top case, with the rack mount they make for the C650GT.
Seemed like a good deal compared to BMW's smaller case, we'll see how it holds up over time!
I jsut got her home. I traded my 2011 Burgman 650 Exec. I like the more slender body and agressive seating style. the C600 has the highline pke and in the 32 degree day, the heated seat and grips were really helpful. The C600 really feels more agressive than the GT and I like that.
Love mine. According to the salesman, I was the first person in Las Vegas to take delivery in early Nov. I've been enjoying the ride ever since, especially when I pass motorcycles without any effort.
Love touring
So far it looks like 4:1 GT to Sport, and not one bland (black/White) color in the mix. That one of the main reasons I chose the Blue, if not I would have a red GT as well.
FYI, the Wex ex site for BMW has all the Microfich of panels and accesories; don't know if anyone else is aware.

Best ride of the year! Also, first ride of the year. First day to hit 45, which is my personal minimum to ride.
A better look at the box. It's a lot bigger than it needs to be. I can't feel any difference in the ride when it is on vs. off. As expected, the color panels make it look like it came with the bike, and it uses the same key. :)
Spittin' image of what mine will look like, thanks for posting (as i am still waiting of course). Yeah looks like the top box will serve me well for my commute, I have this soft-sided bag I use for work and looks like it should drop in there well, I assume it swallows a full-face helmet as well? How does the passenger like the backrest? Looks like someone has been on it (rear footrest pads). In addition to my helmet I also have to store my riding jacket when I am at work.
Picking up yesterday at 441 Cycle Shop in Ft. Lauderdale. Traded in o7 Burgman Ex with 37K

The top box looks good! Mine just came in today. I'll post a photo after it's installed during the 600 mile service...a week from this Saturday.
What's all that white stuff on the ground?:)

Just took delivery of a 2013, unfortunately the engine case had a porous housing, but fortunately for BMW's steller customer service they shipped me a new 2014 to replace it. :german
I like the black. :wave

Hello everyone my name is Sean and live in the Atlanta metro area. I have been riding for 30+ years on many different bikes. I got the 650GT this year in February 2017 and broke in the engine during the spring, the photo is from last weeks 790 mile 3 day weekend ride. Just love this machine, and planning on many more!!

I went to the trade show in Toronto last February looking for the best bike for me. After looking at, and sitting on hundreds of bikes, I knew I was still
into scooters, and trading up from my 300 I was ready to go with a 650. The BMW C650GT had the best reviews I could find anywhere and I spent most
of the winter researching them all. It is also the most powerful scooter available in Canada with the best ratings. I knew if I wanted a scooter, this would
be the best bike. The Toronto dealership had this one sitting there for almost three years. The story is, some wealthy gentleman walked in and purchased the
bike but never came to pick it up. Finally after a few years he simply told them to trade it in on something else. So this poor lonely dejected bike sat there
for three years on the showroom floor with a "sold" sign in it but no owner to claim it.
I found the bike and loved it right away, and loved the price since at this point it was considered a "used" vehicle even though it only had 50km on it.
We made fast friends and have been bonded ever since. Since late May/early June I have put almost 7500km on it already driving to the east coast and
back, as well as all over midwestern Ontario. It has been a fantastic bike and has performed reliably. Which is a good thing since the dealer charges $368 just
to change the oil. I can't complain though, as I went to 6 local bike shops and every one of them refused to touch it because of it's advanced engineering. Even one
bike shop run by an ex-BMW technician. He said he didn't have the special tools for these C-series machines.
So easy to control, and powerful enough to deliver when you need it.
At this point I don't know if I'll ever feel the urge to get a larger bike. I'm pretty happy on this one right now. At the most, when the time comes I have the urge to
get a new bike, I am strongly leaning toward trading it in on a newer model.

Where can I get those side cases?
[QUOTE=richardus;1105852]Where can I get those side cases?[/QUOTE]
The cases are not the issue, they are Givi E22N which can be found on-line. The issue is finding either the Givi PL5106 or the Kappa KL5106 tubular side case holder. I believe that both were discontinued. I found mine from a dealer in Canada. There still may be limited stock out there. Good luck! Adding these side cases and the Givi top box, now I really have lots of storage!

Beautiful setting. Very nice.
Taking delivery on Thursday 6/28/18! Purchased to a certain extent on impulse while visiting Los Angeles. I traded in my '13 C650 GT back in 2016 when I bought my R1200GSA and have really missed having a scooter for commuting, errands, and quick evening cruises.

Is that the new 400 model? We can't even get BMW scooters in Ontario this year. None of the dealers are carrying them.
