First on was 2014 in bronze. Second is 2016 in black. Both brilliant.
Mods = aftermarket rear rack plate, Givi 40L top box; stick on roundel indicator repeaters; better screen; stock wind deflectors; reservoir mounted dash cam (in beta mode to see about vibrations); vanity plates.
Not much then
Add Kaoko mechanical cruise control. The list mounts up as does the cost.
Add tracker sticker
Hello all. I'm from Australia, southern New South Wales to be more precise. My new (secondhand) C650GT arrived this morning - I have not ridden it yet, it takes a while to get all the registration done, but tomorrow I will be able to ride it! It's my third scooter. First one was a Yamaha T-Max (rode it for 9 years, including a ride to Darwin and back - look at a map and you will see that Australia is a BIG place!) followed by 10 years on a Burgman 650, which I am about to sell - now the BMW. Since I first started riding in 1963 I have always wanted a BMW but this is my first. And come to think of it, this could be my last bike - I'll be 76 in a few weeks!
The new bike is more or less standard, just with a top box already fitted. Soon to be added: throttle lock, and possibly extended windscreen (I do like my comforts).

Thanks for letting me join your club, I'm from Alicante. I'm 56 years old and I'm still a biker I have a motorcycle in Spain. a white C650GT. with all the possible extras. Now I am with you to teach me tricks, mechanics and tips for my new bike. Soon I will dare to change the brake pads and lose my fear of doing the maintenance myself. On my other bikes (Burgman 400 and GS 500) I maintained them without problems. I hope to get to do the same with the BMW. Greetings from Spain (via Google translate)

Hi my name is Dean from south louisiana.
Just acquired a 2016 sport Valencia orange that I bought in kansas city and drove it 900 miles home. I recently sold my 2007 burgman 660 that I had bought new. The bike performed great on the trip home but I think I need to have the timing chain tensioner replaced. Glad to be here.

Welcome to the group you will find a lot of GOOD stuff on your C400 gt and you will get some very
helpful responses to your questions. ALL these folks are here to assist you anyway they can.
Hi from the windy city. I rode motorcycles for most of the past 35 years or so. I'm disabled (bad knees, back, ankles, and a few years back I sold my big tourglide becuase I found that I couldn't shift or brake without pain, and that led to back spasms and it just wasn't good -- I'd go out for a ride feeling great and having fun and then by the time I got home I wasn't sure I was going to make it.
then I started reading about these things -- powerful enough to haul me (I'm 6'6 and over 400 pounds) and no shifting or braking with my feet. Picked up my 2014 c650GT two nights ago and couldn't be happier.

Thanks. I went and checked and it's up to date. The previous seller had it's 25k service recently, but you never can be too careful
