I had this scooter for three years and occasionally commuting up to 100 miles daily. Nimble in traffic and very stable at high speed, it hold corner very well.
I just purchased a 2013 model with only 50kms. Glad to see such positive reviews. Love the Akrapovic muffler but they are super expensive to add! Your bike is in great shape for so much driving you did!
hi bro...nice review you have there. just want to ask on the overall maintenance cost for this scooter especially during 20k and 40k service interval by bmw motorad in malaysia?. is it expensive?. thanks
I had sold this scooter years ago, can’t recall exactly the costing. If you are looking for something economical to use, this scooter is not it. The maintenance can be expensive if you send it back to the dealer.
Hi and salam to u bro. Roughly how much the cost for maintenance service for this BMW 650 scooter based on your experience? I kinda interested to be having bmw scooter myself
W’salam. Been a long time since I use that scooter. Yearly maintenance around RM700, the major service RM1400 at 20,000 km. The killer would be if you need to change the belting and rollers, this would set you back to around 3k.
This particular Akra is made for C600S it do not need remap. Also it’s only the end can and not a full system. If full system change then remap will be required. So in this case no remap on the ecu.
Antonis Vartzelis After exact mileage check it was about 140km, but it is still on the high side. However I sold the C600s off, since with that daily mileage the maintenance will be very high. I bought the R1200GSA thinking it will be better on maintenance part, ended still high.. requiring service every 3 months or so. To reduce maintenance further, I bought a Vespa to share the load, now maintenance is manageable, but I'm killing the Vespa. :)
I think the most important is the fuel consumption rather than the maintenance cost. I use a piaggio medley 150 to commute and an r1200 gs lc to get pleasure from. The medley needs only 2.2 litres of fuel for every 100kms and the service cost here in Greece is only €25!
+azfar azah Habis meter, dgn GPS track anout 200kmph. Possible to get slightly more if the db killer is removed. But, scooter is not for speed but the convenient of commuting and occasional recreational rides.

how many liters 100 km gasoline
What year is it?
thx , what about petrol use ?
Fuel consumption is comparable to bike of that capacity, depends on how fast you ride.
What do you get to the gallon, also insurance per year, I'm looking for something cheep to run

Apart from the badge, I don’t see any pros for this scooter.
@@AffyNoX noted bro. Thanks for the reply. The belting change i assume would b at 10,000km, rite?
@@AffyNoX what do u mean bro
@@FnDuK BMW banking on their name to sell this scooter, apart from that the yamaha T-Max or Honda xADV is much better.
Did you have to do a re-map for the Akro?
This particular Akra is made for C600S it do not need remap. Also it’s only the end can and not a full system. If full system change then remap will be required. So in this case no remap on the ecu.
