Congratulations on the new acquisition! I bought my 2018 C650GT new and have put 24,000 miles on it, touring all over Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri. It has been the perfect, irreplaceable touring bike for me, but unless you do your own maintenance brace for outrageous...

The majority of our San Antonio-based scooter touring group active riders have C650GT’s (2014, 2018, 2016, and 2019) and love them. We ride all over Texas and the adjoining states and had thought that we had a long-term keeper with the Beemers, but are guardedly looking at other options now...

On a trip to the Texas Gulf Coast last weekend, I noticed a very pronounced leak under the scoot at the first stop. When I checked the coolant level the tank appeared completely empty and the site gage, well, who can tell from that? I had not had any such leaks previously in my garage. I...

Mine gets 53.3 mpg so far after 9,000 miles. Regarding 0-60, I don't know--I'm more impressed that it recently went 1800 miles round trip through Texas and New Mexico deserts and mountains without a hiccup.

After the first nozzle shutoff I keep pumping a little at a time until I see the gas in the filler neck.

...and I was wondering what ASAP stood for in this context...

I just put one on my 2018 on Friday, and had the same problem--no instructions. I went back to the website I ordered it from and the actual ad was a one page blow up of the parts, screws, and the way they go together. I printed it off and it worked well enough. You'll have to pry the rear BMW...

I noticed the same thing about the power socket not working for my phone charger or my air compressor (I have a 2018 C650GT). I read the owner’s manual bit about it not working for chargers, which makes me wonder what it’s for. Does BMW have a $500 cigarette lighter that goes there?

Hi Tim! I haven't been here much longer than you; I just bought a 2018 C650GT from the Boerne dealer and love it, especially the legroom. I had been riding a 2009 Piaggio BV 500 which was extremely cramped compared to the GT. A friend who lives in New Braunfels also rides a GT--we cancelled a...

Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum but have been riding scooters for about 10 years. I have a 2007 Vespa 250 GTS and will trade in my 2009 Piaggio BV 500 (with 17,000 miles) tody for a balck storm metallic 2018 C650GT. I’m looking forward to the new ride and to the insight and ideas on this forum!
