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.
The powerful, harmoniously tuned engine with 44 kW (60 hp) makes
it easy to travel long distances. But that’s not all there is to
love about the C650GT – its handling is second to none and it offers
a particularly
comfortable ride,
even in the city. This maxi scooter also provides the biggest
storage volume in its class along with excellent wind and weather
protection.
The C650GT is the most exclusive and innovative maxi scooter from
BMW Motorrad. Fully-fledged ASC now comes as standard in addition to
ABS. It enhances safety when road conditions are unpredictable
through active intervention in the
engine management
system. The daytime running lights also automatically adjust to the
ambient light conditions.
An innovative safety feature is the optional SVA Side View
Assist. This is particularly useful in an urban environment as it
warns of vehicles approaching in your blind spot at
speeds
of up to 80 km/h.
Meanwhile an extensive range of options and accessories rounds
off the overall image of this superior maxi scooter.
The differing conceptual emphasis of each of the two BMW maxi
scooters enables a broader target group to be addressed than
previously: the C 650 Sport is geared towards riders with a sporty
bent while the C 650 GT sets its sights on those who attach greater
importance to comfort and touring capability.
The new C 650 Sport and the new C 650 GT now go further towards
addressing these aspirations. With an extensively modified
drivetrain, more comfortable suspension settings and a completely
revised design for the C 650 Sport, they combine more markedly than
before the excellent ride qualities of a motorcycle with the
specific agility and comfort offered by the maxi scooter concept.
Optimised drivetrain set-up and new exhaust system for a more
active riding experience.
The 2-cylinder in-line engine with a capacity of 647 cc once again
ensures dynamic propulsion in the new maxi scooters C 650 Sport and
C 650 GT. The rated output in both models is 44 kW (60 hp) at 7 500
rpm. A variant is also available with 35 kW (48 hp) at 7 000 rpm.
Engine mapping was redefined for use in the new C 650 Sport and the
new C 650 GT with a view to satisfying the requirements of the EU4
pollutant class. What is more, a new silencer gives the vehicles a
more dynamic look as well as providing a particularly full sound and
enabling adherence to the new ECE R41-04 noise test regulations.
A new CVT transmission set-up in conjunction with new clutch
linings enables optimised clutch engagement and therefore a
significantly more dynamic set-off response. This was achieved by
changing the transmission ratio spread of the CVT as well as by
fine-tuning the centrifugal force weights.
New suspension and damper set-up for increased comfort.
The suspension construction of the new C 650 Sport and C 650 GT
continues to use a torsionally stiff hybrid composite structure
consisting of a tubular steel bridge frame and a die-cast aluminium
unit in the area of the swinging arm bearing. Retaining the existing
spring travel of 115 millimetres in each case, it was possible to
create a more comfortable suspension set-up. As a result, the C 650
Sport and C 650 GT offer a perfect compromise between sporty flair
and comfort.
ABS and ASC as standard for maximum safety when braking and
accelerating. Side View Assist option for the C 650 GT.
Based on the “Safety 360°” principle, the optimum design of the
brake system in conjunction with the standard BMW Motorrad ABS Bosch
9.1MB ensures the very highest level of active riding safety.
Another safety bonus is the ASC (Automatic Stability Control), which
is now also on board ex works as standard. Additional comfort is
also offered by a feature that is a world first for two-wheel
vehicles: the first motorcycle rider assistance system Side View
Assist (SVA). This new option for the C 650 GT supports the rider
when changing lane, for instance, by monitoring the blind spot –
especially useful in an urban environment.
Completely new dynamic design for the C 650 Sport and detailed
stylistic fine-tuning for the C 650 GT.
The new edition of the two models particularly features a more
modern, dynamic and future-oriented design for the C 650 Sport. This
integrates it seamlessly in the BMW Motorrad design philosophy. By
contrast the C 650 GT – positioned in the Comfort subsegment – has
been fine-tuned with new rear side trim panels and a new rear light
unit. Both models have also been fitted with newly designed
instrument dials as well as new handlebar trim. Other new features
include the revised kinematics of the centre stand and the automatic
daytime riding light function.
The attractive paint finishes of the new C 650 Sport and C 650
GT.
The C 650 Sport and C 650 GT are each offered in three colour
variants. The Valencia Orange metallic matt of the C 650 Sport
highlights its athletic character and in conjunction with the
contrast surfaces gives it a dynamic, modern appearance. By
contrast, Lightwhite non-metallic makes the new C 650 Sport look
technical, compact and light. In Blackstorm metallic the new C 650
Sport appeals to a more classically oriented clientele. In the C 650
GT, Blackstorm metallic highlights the elegant character of the
vehicle, while Frozen Bronze metallic in conjunction with a
contrasting tone creates a harmonious paint finish that clearly
emphasises the styling of the new C 650 GT. Lightwhite non-metallic
highlights the dynamic side of the C 650 GT. This colour gives it a
particularly light and agile look.
