I'm 6ft2 and I found C650GT most comfortable. Also, I live in extremely busy city and car is not usable in commuting to the center where I work. I owned Piaggo Beverly before and it was perfect for commuting but out of the city it was too small. Instead of buying second bike I searched for something for both worlds. Needed a big storage space, comfortable for long rides but also maneuverable between cars for daily commute. After 2 years it turned out to be correct choice! Did about 18000km in 2 years, half commuting very busy city and half is about 10 trips of about 1000km. In both aspects scooter behaves perfectly. No flaws at all, reliable, comfortable.
Second reason was purely subjective (aren't those often the most important!). Burgman is quite common in my city and image behind it (I mean people riding it) is.... ahhhh. Not good
Ther's only a couple of C650GTs arround. I just hate mainstream stuff so BMW is a winner here. I like the design more.
Other details I wasn't thinking about before but turned out to be something I really like:
- side stand with a break
- electric windshield (huge one! Rain? move it up. Too hot? Move it down.)
- TSC (was activated more than once when I was not expecting it. Probably saved my butt from falling a few times)
- huge trunk (I hate "boxes" and never use those, have enough space!)
Lastly, one thing I dislike... quality of (some) plastic. Somebody says Burgman feels cheaper. Never tried it but on the street it certainly does not feel like cheaper. Some BMW plastic is just way, way below quality level you'd expect from BMW in this price range.
