See www.webbikeworl... for the review and our ongoing blog series on this interesting new scooter! I wanted to get a quick walk-around done before Hurricane Sandy hit!
Sorry, deleted this comment from TR5T by mistake: "The maintenance cost are said to be very high, and that's from a meeting of BMW,TRIUMPH, DUCATI dealer. AS a long time BMW owner I believe this was true as BMW seems to assume everyone who buys their products are wealthy. Besides this thing has a Kymco motor. And they have just introduced their own 700."
My reply: I've owned mine for a year and don't think the maintenance costs are high at all; in fact, so far there has been zero maintenance, other than changing the oil and filter, which is easy to do. The maintenance schedule is rather easy on the BMW scooters; see the BMW scooter blog on webBikeWorld for the actual schedule. We have about 130 members of the webBikeWorld BMW scooter community on Google+ so you may want to join and getting feedback from real owners.
Thanks! More coming soon, hopefully by this weekend.

question: why is it called c 650 if those aren't the cc's?
Marketing department got carried away I guess. Same reason the C 600 Sport is called a 600...
i have 2 questions:
1. does it have Kick start?
2. can you mount side bags on it , just like the F650GS?
thanks in advance
1. No.
2. Yes, there are side bag options. Join our Google+ BMW Scooter community to learn more, some of the owners have installed pannier systems.
+ikawpipa You can't use your leg power to kick start the 650cc Fuel Injection engine....
by 650, does that mean 650cc?
Your video is in the forum of BMW maxi scooter at bmwc.it. Thank you
