I’ve ordered several things from BMW Euro Moto and had them shipped to the US. Top case, rear rack, leg cover, touring windshield etc. Shipping is pricy but worth it if you get several items. I’m pretty sure they carry Wunderlich. Customer service was fine by chat. Highly recommend...
I bought the Yacugar emulsion shocks. I’m happy with them but they are twice the price of YSS. Not sure whether that’s a value. I may buy another 400 and I would get the YSS’s for the money. Just my opinion.
I agree the bike tops out where the design has its limits. I did some searching and you can buy a chip which re-maps the fuel injection and increases the power and torque. I’m sure you can get and aftermarket exhaust and remap the engine as well. These types of mods will most likely void your...
Good to know. The bike handles well at high speed. You don’t want to ride sustained that fast, but nice to know you have all that reserve power for a long uphill. Do you know if the bike has a governor that limits speed, either by hardware or software?
What sort of top speed are you folks seeing. I got an indicated 86 mph the other day before I had to backdown. I was out riding with some friends a few weeks back and they all had big bikes. I thought for a few moments I was pushing 90 but that might have been wishful thinking.

Ted Porter at Beemer Shop doesn't recommend new front springs unless you are bottoming out, but says you can try a heavier fork oil if you want more dampening.
Man I wish I saw this before. I ordered a pair of Yacugar emulsion shocks for the rear. The ride is great but they were twice the price. What is the YSS front shock option?
I like the USB port, great idea. I put a dual USB port on my BMW R1200RT and Ducati Multi but haven't thought about it in the C400GT. It would be great for charging my phone. Thanks for posting!
Just curious but why not just put a RAM ball mount on the mirror stem and use your phone for Nav? I have the BMW Navigator on my BMW R1200RT but seldom use it unless I'm in the mountains and can't get a cell signal. But if you load your route on your phone (I have an iPhone) it works without...
My wife like the C400GT over the Vespa 250. Problem is the seat is a bit high for her. I was wondering if lower rear shocks and lowering the front forks a bit would be ok without sacrificing handling too much.

Good morning, I'm Jim from Maryland. Long time motorcycle guy since I was 14. I started on a Honda Cub 50 which I used to deliver newspapers (San Francisco Chronicle). I've probably had over 30 bikes, 9 of them BMW's. My current rides are a 1971 BMW R75/5, a 2007 Vespa 250, a 2014 BMW...
I always wave and return waves if its safe to do so. I don't take it personal if its not returned. Sometimes the other rider is preoccupied with just riding. Its a friendly courtesy that I'm thankful to be a part of.
