There have been drastic changes in the requirements for
individual mobility concepts, specifically for conurbations. The challenges
facing inner city traffic in future will be growing traffic volume, rising
energy costs, and greater stringency of CO2 stipulations.
C 600 Sport cockpit
The BMW Group has recognised these challenges and is developing series solutions
for the mobility needs of today and tomorrow. As an integral part of the BMW
Group, BMW Motorrad is also dealing with the issues of individual single track
mobility and the future needs of customers. In this context,
BMW Motorrad is expanding its business activities to include urban mobility.
As its first offers on this sector, BMW Motorrad will be presenting two premium
vehicles on the maxi scooter segment. The BMW C 600 Sport and the BMW C 650 GT
combine the outstanding riding properties of a motorcycle with the specific
agility and conceptual comfort of a scooter for a new kind of dynamic riding
experience.
The new maxi scooters will be built at the BMW Motorrad plant in Berlin.
Two dynamic maxi scooters for sports and touring.
The differing characteristics of the concepts behind these two maxi scooters
appeal to a wide target group: the C 600 Sport for the riders with sports
ambitions, and the C 650 GT for customers attaching greater importance to
comfort and touring ability.
Irrespectively of their differing concepts, the C
600 Sport and the C 650 GT present the unique design language of BMW Motorrad,
setting new standards on this segment in this category as well. Modern and
dynamic, they are the perfect examples of the BMW Motorrad design philosophy.
C 650 GT
Powerful 2-cylinder inline engine with CVT and characteristic sound.
The 2-cylinder inline engine of the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT is an all new
development by BMW Motorrad with a displacement of 647 cc. In both models, its
rated power output is 44 kW (60 hp) at 7500 rpm, and its max torque of 66 Nm is
available at 6000 rpm. The power is transferred via a directly integrated CVT,
or continuously variable transmission.
The engine owes its low position and therefore low centre of gravity to its
cylinder bank, which is inclined to the front through 70°. The characteristic
sound and low vibration levels are the result of the 90° crank pin offset, 270°
ignition spacing, and two balancer shafts driven by spur gears.
An electronic fuel injection system supplies the four valves under the two
overhead camshafts. Oil is supplied from a dry sump with double oil pump, and an
efficient cooling concept optimises the thermal equilibrium in the 2-cylinder
engine.
The exhaust system is made completely of stainless steel and complies with
motorcycle specifications. Fitted with a closed loop catalytic converter and an
oxygen sensor, the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT fulfil today the Euro-4 emission
limits of tomorrow.
C 600 Sport
Suspension with playful handling and best riding stability.
One objective in the development of the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT was to combine
directional stability at high speeds on the motorway with playful handling in
city traffic and clear feedback to the rider just like a motorcycle.
Accordingly, the design of the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT suspension features a
torsionally rigid hybrid interconnection of a tubular steel bridge frame and a
diecast aluminium unit at the swingarm bearing. In addition, the 2-cylinder
inline engine functions as a bearing element, presenting a particularly rigid
construction for stable and high precision response.
The greatest possible riding stability is also provided by the bearing for the
cast light-alloy single swingarm with coaxial centre of rotation.
Also the suspension elements fulfil more fastidious needs for sporting character
and comfort. At the front, an upside down fork presents a generous fixed fork
diameter of 40 mm. The tail presents a reclining spring strut on the left side.
The spring travels are each 115 mm, as they also occur quite commonly on the
motorcycle sector. Also the tyre widths and cross sections of the C 600 Sport
and the C 650 GT are aligned to motorcycle dimensions.
600 Sport
Powerful braking system with BMW Motorrad ABS fitted as standard.
The new C 600 Sport and C 650 GT are fitted with a generously sized braking
system consisting of a two-rotor disc brake at the front and a single disc brake
at the rear, each 270 mm in diameter. At the same time, the BMW Motorrad ABS
fitted as standard ensures maximum possible safety.
Multifunctional instrument cluster and optional LED daytime running light.
The instrument cluster of the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT presents a large, easily
readable LCD display with integrated engine speed readout and an analogue
speedometer. The instrument cluster presents considerably more functions than
usual in this vehicle class.
For the first time, BMW Motorrad is also offering an LED daytime running light
as an optional equipment feature on its C 600 Sport and C 650 GT.
C 600 Sport with the world premiere FlexCase.
The FlexCase for the C 600 Sport is an innovative stowage space concept.
A flap in the tail base under the seat enlarges the stowage space on the
stationary vehicle. This can be used e.g. to hold two helmets.

The differences between the C 600 Sport and the C
650 GT at a glance
The sporty, dynamic scooter BMW C 600 Sport is characterised by a seat
positioned for extremely active riding. This was made possible by the
arrangement of the foot boards, seat, and handlebar in an ergonomic triangle.
More fastidious needs for touring and long distance capabilities, on the other
hand, are fulfilled by the luxurious C 650 GT. The rider and passenger can
therefore adopt a more relaxed sitting posture that is highly appreciated
especially over long stretches. The ergonomics designed for even greater
passenger capability and comfort can be felt in particular on a more comfortable
seat with adjustable backrest for the rider in conjunction with a higher
handlebar and comfortable floor boards in lieu of separate footrests for the
passenger. In addition, the C 650 GT presents a larger, powered windscreen for
even better protection against wind and weather.
