What Is It?

The BMW C650 GT is an A2 licence friendly premium maxi scooter and is powered by a liquid cooled 647 cc parallel twin engine, producing 60 bhp at 7,500 rpm and maximum torque at 6,000 rpm.

Improvements over the 2012-2015 model include a new engine mapping, gearbox, clutch and silencer; the aim is to provide more immediate response while also keeping down the emissions. Elsewhere the design, suspension and centre stand set-up get a bit of an upgrade.

For storage the seat can take two full face helmets and the left of the two glove boxes contains a 12v socket for your devices. The 15" wheels take a 120/70 tyre up front and 160/60 at the rear.

Unique to the GT is the optional Side View Assist which monitors your blind spots with ultrasound sensors and sets off little warning triangles on the mirror stalks to alert you. Another key option is the central LED running light which stays on for a bit after the ignition is switched off.
