2016 BMW Motorrad C650 Sport and C650 GT – facelifted maxi-scooters in Malaysia, from RM64,900

The new BMW C 650 GT and the new BMW C 650 Sport (3)-2

BMW Motorrad Malaysia announced the introduction of the latest additions to its maxi-scooter range, the 2016 C 650 Sport and C 650 GT. This pair of facelifted maxi-scooters are designed for city use and urban commuting, with touring-level comfort and capability thrown in to the mix.

Both the C 650 Sport and C 650 GT use a liquid-cooled four-valve two-cylinder engine with 647 cc and electronic fuel injection. BMW Motorrad claims a power output of 60 hp at 7,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 63 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Of note is the cooling system design, where air-flow comes tranversely through the cylinders and exits through the front cylinder head, near the exhaust, to optimise the path of cooling air.

Fully Euro 4 compliant with revised exhaust mapping, exhaust emissions are reduced with a completely new exhaust system consisting of a manifold with integrated catalytic converter and dual-flow absorption-type silencer. The entire exhaust system is meets with ECE R41-04 noise test regulations.

New for 2016 are the rear side trim panels and new rear light units. The C 650 Sport features a redesigned nose section including the top side panels, bottom side panels, front trim panel and headlight carrier, while the C 650 GT, comes with redesigned tail section with rear trim panels on the left, right and centre, as well as new rear lights.

Two special colours are exclusive to BMW’s maxi-scooters – Valencia Metallic Matt for the C 650 Sport and Frozen Bronze Metallic for the C 650 GT. Pricing for the scooters – on-the-road without insurance – are RM64,900 for the C 650 Sport and RM68,900 for the C 650 GT. Both the C 650 Sport and C 650 GT come with ABS and ASC as standard.
