That would be scientific. But I can't believe BMW Motorrad would produce a world-class machine with the odometer fifteen miles off. My theory is the previous owner, who was responsible for 4,900 of the 5,708 miles on the bike, skewed the computer results with his driving habits. He rode 11...

Okay, did an experiment .... I compared the bike's predicted range and miles to actual miles on the odometer. My theory was I've been getting more actual miles than the bike was saying. With the CE 04 charged to 100%, it showed a range of 65 miles. As I rode, I recorded data from 100% down...

FYI, the CE 04 group page on Facebook always generates more replies than this forum. I gained some interesting insights there and will share here in case anyone is looking for answers .... Several riders reported the bleeding obvious, that range changes with riding mode, and Eco is the most...

Question for experienced CE 04 owners .... Bought a '22 CE 04 on August 9th with 4,900 miles. It's been in South Florida since new and was used to commute to work, 11 miles each way on I-95. It was then plugged in a wall charger overnight and always charged to 100%. BMW says the CE 04's range...

Adirondack State Park is the largest in the lower 48 states, six million acres of phenomenal roads for motorcycling. My favorite place to ride. Bill, my CE 04 serves up trip data for every ride, including lean angles. Feel free to scoff at my recent maximums of 17-degrees left and 10-degrees...

Alas, I never heard of a DB Killer, much less have an infomed opinion. The Wild Lion came with the Silver Wing. Only know I enjoyed the hell out of the throaty rumble. I considered adding one to a GT, along with a Corbin seat. Fitting a white GT like that was my white whale, but I never reached...

'22 CE 04.

Haha, love it! I was headed for my 7th. Still tempted but loving the BMW electric experience. Yes, got the Zelle, thanks. Will ship tomorrow morning and text ETA and tracking #.

UPDATE: SOLD. After a low-speed accident eight weeks ago, my touring days are done (but not my riding days). This Nelson-Rigg Route 1 Tour/Traveler bag holds a HUGE amount of stuff. I used it three times to visit upstate New York for a month then ride back to south Florida. Photos don't show...

My $.02 after owning six C 650 GT's .... 1. Color-matched BMW OEM top case is the best-looking and works with the same key as the ignition. Although if you buy a case separately a BMW dealer will have to give you a tumbler for the top case to match the original key. Next best is SHAD cases. 2...

Affirmative, thanks. Also received your shipping info. I will send tomorrow morning and text you arrival date and tracking #. Mike

$100 + $30 shipping = $130 total. I'll DM my personal contact info for Zelle. I generally ship the same day, or the following morning. Thanks! Mike

I can say two things with certainty. 1. The backrest makes mounting the bike (for a passenger) much easier. It provides leverage and a focal point for balance while you're boarding and getting off. The wide, flat passenger footboards (not footpegs) are a huge plus for mounting and dismounting...

You might be right. I was in touch with the seller when the listing was new. I remember she took a long time to respond, for what that's worth. Perhaps one of those people who use Facebook very sparingly. The price was high when I was inquiring. I think I was instrumental in bringing the price...

Facebook Marketplace in Cleveland has a '20 GT in Light White with matching top case. 4,000 miles and $6,500. I was searching for a '20 white GT for awhile ... until my heart was hijacked by a gorgeous white electric CE 04. Here's a link if you have Facebook...

UPDATE: SOLD FOR SALE: Utopia backrest for BMW C 650 GT. $100 + $30 shipping. Originally $289 plus $18 leather cover. You won't find a better price on a Utopia backest. Quality-built in like-new condition. Adjusts for height and angle. Clean, stylish design elevates the GT's look. Installs in...

To close the loop, I just had a trouble-free "uncoupling" experience with this simple procedure: 1. Unplug from household socket. 2. Turn on the bike. I heard the "thunk" of the charger lock release ... 3. Unplug the charger. It's that easy. I'm guessing I ran into my original issue of the...

Good point. I likely had the bike turned on when I unplugged, which may have screamed "power loss" to the bike. I'll unplug with the bike off, then turn it on and see if it releases. Pretty sure that's been my routine at home. Simply haven't done this enough times to be sure of my sequence (had...

Prior to turning on the bike and releasing the charging cable, the manual says, "end the charging process at the charging station BEFORE (emphasis mine) detaching the charging cable." However, these are instructions specifically for charging at a charging station. The manual does not give a...

PRO TIP if your charger stays locked on the bike after charging: Press and hold the arrow on the BMW key fob. That should release it. Found that tip on the Facebook CE 04 page and it worked. Just sharing here. Here's the story .... Charged my CE 04 overnight at my house. When it was finished...
