BMW C600 SPORT (2012 - on) Review

Version: 2012 C600 Sport

Year: 2012

Fantastic scooter! Has never let me down, loads of luggage space and can fit two full face helmets under the seat, good cockpit with loads of information, fuel, average speed, trip meters. I can do the shopping throw it under the seat then take the long way home and scratch. Tyre pressure monitor built into the bike saved my life when flying round a corner and the back tyre was losing air I would not have know if it bike didn't tell me I pulled over safe and sound! Flys through city traffic and has the pace to keep up and over take on the motorway. I have embarrassed to many sports bike riders to count at the red light Grand Prix, leaving them as I twist through the traffic. The reviews of the bike being made with Ill fitting poorly made parts are unjustified in my opinion, I leave it out in the rain without a cover all through the year I hardly ever wash it I have owned it since 2012 and it has never missed a beat, I doubt any other bike could have put up with the punishment and lack of TLC I have afforded the scooter. I use it every day of the year for commuting to work, the heated grips and heated seat are amazing in the winter the fairing keeps the worst of the weather off me and the adjustable screen works a treat on the motorway. I have owned more proper manual bikes than I can remember and this scooter has to be the best bike I have ever owned, I highly recommend it to anyone!

You'd not expect this from BMW but the quality of the plastic, the fitting, the finish of metal and plastic parts are all of quite bad quality. My Yamaha Xmax 250 costs less than half the price and has a much better built quality. I've given up switching. Maybe next generation will be better... Very disappointing!
