Here's another review, this one I found translated to Spanish from the original French on the Spanish BMW C-series Forum.

They ended up in a TIE, both with 20/25 points.:confused: Tmax had better mileage, motor & handling, the BMW had higher top speed and more equipment choices.:cool:

The author was very impressed at the changes that BMW made to UP the quality and styling, in part motivated by next year's EU 4 requirements, but can't WAIT to see what Yamaha answers back with in Europe.

(As a side note, this was posted by one of the founding Moderators who had owned a C 600 Sport, then a C 650 GT. After he recovered from TOTALING the C650, he got another scoot...a 2016 Tmax 530. He just couldn't live with the horrible resale value over there for used BMW's.:rolleyes:)

"Resale Value" only matters to people who don't plan on keeping their vehicles to the point where they simply don't run any more... ;)

True true. And to some others, resale just doesn't matter. They want the latest and the greatest and are willing to pay the price.

Besides, there is not a PTW (or car) made today that does not have considerable depreciation out the door.

Your local Ferrari dealer might disagree... ;)

LOL, years ago I was working in a Mercedes shop. A salesman brought a couple out to look at an old two seater that the dealership was trying to unload. It was so rusted out, someone had fabricated a subframe to mount the rear suspension on, and I was surprised the seats hadn't fallen through the bottom yet. Anyway, the customers looked skeptical and the salesman looked right at them and said " when you buy a Mercedes, you aren't buying a car, you are buying an investment!" . I couldn't believe he said that in reference to that piece of junk, I was shocked.
