A selection of Australian motorcycle and car journalists were gathered
in the 2000 Olympic city to be fully briefed on the two scooters and to
put them to the test through the urban environment, as well as up and
down the coast and mountain roads.
The event started with breakfast in the quaint seaside village of Bronte, before heading off for a day of riding under the guidance of BMW Motorrad Australia Marketing Manager, Miles Davis and his team. Down the magnificent coastal route the journalistic peloton made its way before heading up into twisting forest roads that follow the line of Australia’s sandy edge. The technical aspects of the scooters were explained in detail including the the dynamic chassis and the smooth power delivery of the twin-cylinder motor and continuously variable transmission gearbox.
Urban Mobility is far more than just the ability to ride in the city, it is a new answer to riding in all areas with all the practical attributes a scooter can provide.the journalists headed home to various parts of the Big Brown Land, it was clear that they were all impressed with the quality and dynamics of the scooters. What was also apparent was even though they both share the same motor and chassis, they have distinctly individual riding characteristics.While most of the America and Europe are now firmly stuck in the grips of winter, it’s Summer in Australia and it’s great to see the C600 Sport and C650GT being enjoyed by riders in the southern hemisphere.
