Two of the most sought-after models at the latest 2011 EICMA in Milan were the new maxi-scooters from BMW, the C650 GT and C600 Sport, and here is a video released by the German manufacturer showing us the newborn maxi-scoots in action, both in and out of town. The C600 Sport and C650 GT have been developed on the same platform and are equipped with the same 60 hp 649cc 2-cylinder DOHC engine, the same chassis and use 15″ wheels.

The C600 Sport is the more sporty and aggressive-looking one of the pair and aims at a younger audience, whereas the C650 seems to be targeting a more sober and quiet custom base. Both models are expected to hit the market in 2012 and the production has already begun, but at this moment the asking prices are still unknown.

As previously reported, BMW Motorrad unveiled at the 2011 EICMA its two new maxi-scooters, the C600 Sport and the C650 GT, which have been developed on the same platform. In fact, both models are equipped with the same 649cc 2-cylinder DOHC engine (delivering 60 hp), use the same chassis and roll on 15″ wheels fitted with quite wide tyres.

The C600 Sport is slightly more sporty and aggressive-looking, with a large, variable storage component (Flex Case) that sets new standards in terms of practicality and functionality, and an adjustable windshield. The C650 seems to be more sober and quiet, but it boasts a host of innovations such as the LED daytime running light, parking brake integrated into the side stand, electrically adjustable windshield and the central locking system.

Both models - as usual with BMW Motorrad - are bound to set new standards for urban mobility in their respective categories, both technically and commercially. BMW has released official technical specs and a massive photo gallery portraying the two newborn maxi scoots together, check them out by clicking on the ‘Continue Reading’ link below.

At BMW Motorrad’s stand at the EICMA, the two new maxi-scooters are the real stars this year. Both C600 Sport and C650 GT were developed on the same chassis and mechanicals, but each one has its own personality and distinctive traits. Besides, the models are aimed at different kinds of customers and - almost needless to say, - both of them are expected to do very well on the market next year.

BMW C600 Sport and C650 GT share the same 60 hp 2-cylinder DOHC engine and use 15″ wheels fitted with pretty wide tyres. The C600 Sport is slightly more sporty and aggressive-looking, and is a real contender for Yamaha T-Max’s throne. The C650 GT instead targets a more sober and ‘touring’ audience, offering more aerodynamic protection and a more upright riding position. Both models will eneter the market in 2012, but there’s still no word on pricing.
