New toy to scoot around on - LongRanger_imp - 07-06-2021
It's a 2019 C650GT. 60 hp, twin cylinder, DOHC 650 with CVT, ABS, traction control, electric windscreen, heated grips, heated rider & passenger seats, 15" wheels. Rated at 112 mph. I haven't taken delivery yet but the reviews are glowing.

So tempting.

Looks good LongRanger. All day cruisin' comfort and a deep well of storage.
I did freeway rates on a Piaggio single cylinder 500 cc (39 hp) and no problems sustaining 120 km/h all day, although likely not nearly as smooth as I expect the C650GT twin would be.

Nice Scoot! I had one of those as a loaner on one of my R1200R's numerous warranty visits to the dealer. I had ridden so many of their loaner bikes that I chose the scooter for my last loaner as sort of a goof, but I found it very comfy and more than competent on the freeways.

That's awesome! I'm so curious...have never ridden any kind of scoot.

Does it come with a Starbucks gift card?
Congrats! Looks like fun!

You might like the convenience and economy Stich.
You might not like the acceleration-from-stop "lag" of a CVT-equipped scooter. It is an unusual feeling. However, at mid-stride the velocity picks up nicely on a CVT.
