Scooters don’t usually get people excited. But when it’s a scooter made by BMW – we’re interested. And after taking a look, there’s good reason to impressed.
BMW unveiled two performance-oriented scooters – the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT. These are not your run-of-the-mill scooters. These are powerful, sleek bikes designed for high performance. The C 600 Sport and C 650 GT will be powered by a 647cc Parallel Twin with power ratings claimed to be 60 hp @ 7500 rpm and 48.7 lb-ft @ 6000 rpm. Not bad. And looking at the photos, these will turn heads. The new maxi-scooters will sport the aggressive and elegant style you’d expect from BMW.
The BMW C 600 Sport is available in Cosmic Blue Metallic Matt, Titanium Silver Metallic, and Sapphire Black Metallic. The C 650 T is offered in Sapphire Black Metallic, Platinum Bronze Metallic, and Vermillion Red Metallic. The new bikes will be available from spring 2012. Both will be produced in the BMW Motorrad plant in Berlin.
