Thanks for allowing me to join the group. I currently ride a Vespa 300 Super Sport.

Looking to purchase a C 650 GT or Sport.

I am 5'5" but weightlifter strong.

Will I have issues handling this bike?

Thanks to all who reply.

If you're proficient on the Vespa, I think you'd have no problem on the BMW.

 

Welcome, even if you keep and only ride the Vespa. It's a cool ride along with every other two wheeled (three for that matter) freedom machine out there.

mcisk - Welcome!

 

Nah - you shouldn't have any trouble handling a C650. I rode a used one a couple of weeks a go at my dealer. They do have a lotta "scoot" to 'em!

Don't know this for a fact, but one of the mechanics said they'd run around 100 mph.

Most BMW dealerships offer test rides, and if the Vespa isn't an issue, the C 650 shouldn't be either.

 

I'm riding a Suzuki Bergman 650 right now. 3/4 of a Goldwing, lots of storage space and weather protection, what's not to like?

Better check the maintence cost on that scooter.

It's breathtaking.

It's a great scooter, the power unit is made by Kymco who makes some of the best scooters in the world.

 

But the chain drive (enclosed) was an error, I think .

All helpful answers.

Thanks!

Welcome. I have nothing valuable to add (but seldom admit it).

 

Good Luck!

Welcome.

We tend to advocate ATGATT on a mc, and pics posted of your ride.

Look forward to seeing yours.

 

Shiny Side,

They'll do over 100 no problem...

 

Now handling, they do pretty good, not the same as a tele/duolever set up, but , some prefer that, right?

 

You can add big bags, and take them anywhere, just ask Jacqueline.

Ride Tale!!!

Welcome ... and it doesn't matter what you ride so long as you enjoy riding it.
