About the BMW C 600 Sport
The BMW C600 Sport is unintuitively named, as it is powered by a liquid cooled two cylinder 647.00cc four stroke which puts out 59hp.
It is essentially the same bike as the BMW C650 GT but with less under seat storage, an manual screen and reduced wind protection..
In regards to storage the seat can take two full face helmets when parked and the left of the two glove boxes contains a 12v socket. Compared to the BMW C650 GT the rear is smaller so in order to fit a second helmet the bottom folds out when needed and then back to keep the sporty lines .
Optional extras include a daytime LED running light, heated grips, heated sport seat, tinted windscreen and alarm.

Rider Profile
| Best For | Suitable for riders with a car license plus scooter/A2-equivalent training or full A license, given its automatic transmission and maxi-scooter format. |
| Purpose | Built as a premium commuting and urban-touring maxi-scooter that blends scooter convenience with motorcycle-like performance. |
| Rider Fit | The low 810 mm seat height and automatic clutch make it accessible, though its near-250 kg weight demands confidence at low speed and when maneuvering. |
| Character | A refined, torquey twin-cylinder automatic that feels sporty for a scooter, with strong midrange power and stable high-speed handling. |
| Not Ideal For | Not suited for off-road use, track riding, or riders wanting a manual gearbox and lightweight, flickable handling. |
