I'm probably the biggest BMW fan on this forum, and currently own two R1200C motorcycles. BMW produces some wonderful machines.....but I don't think they quite understand the scooter concept. The 600, and the 650, might kinda look like scooters, but I wouldn't consider a 647cc, 60hp, 109mph, 550 to 570lb, machine that only delivers 40 - 47 mpg, and cost in excess of 10K, to be a true scooter.
These specs (with the exception of displacement, and maximum torque), are almost identical to my motorcycle's, 61hp, 104mph, 563lb, and 46.3 mpg average (90% two up riding).
Scooters are supposed to be light, nimble, fuel efficient, basic transportation.
So in my opinion, BMW isn't selling scooters, but rather 650cc motorcycles, with a cvt, that kinda look like a scooter.......I a BMW fan....but I won't miss these
