These maxi-scooters are like many of today's "SUVs" in that they are cross-overs...Are they a scooter or are they a motorcycle?! The longer I ride my Beemer, the more I like it regardless of the label. Few products made today fit the bill for everyone, but for me the 650GT is perfect on many levels: ride, power, storage, ergonomics. The C600 that was reviewed is also very cool and preferred by many over the GT. Of course, those folks are nothing but a bunch of show-offs.
