As previously reported, BMW Motorrad unveiled at the 2011 EICMA its two new maxi-scooters, the C600 Sport and the C650 GT, which have been developed on the same platform.
In fact, both models are equipped with the same 649cc 2-cylinder DOHC engine (delivering 60 hp), use the same chassis and roll on 15″ wheels fitted with quite wide tyres.
The C600 Sport is slightly more sporty and aggressive-looking, with a large, variable storage component (Flex Case) that sets new standards in terms of practicality and functionality, and an adjustable windshield.
The C650 seems to be more sober and quiet, but it boasts a host of innovations such as the LED daytime running light, parking brake integrated into the side stand, electrically adjustable windshield and the central locking system.
Both models – as usual with BMW Motorrad – are bound to set new standards for urban mobility in their respective categories, both technically and commercially.
BMW has released official technical specs and a massive photo gallery portraying the two newborn maxi scoots together, check them out by clicking on the ‘Continue Reading’ link below.
