Means I have first choice of the shipment to my local dealer.
Kinda stoked. *drool*
There I said it.
Did your dealer give you an estimate of when the scooters would arrive?

No hard date but suggested end of month.
Which is close.
We shall see.
Found the download for the C600/650 scooters, hope this takes you to the right area:

Can't get it to come up exactly, but if you click on this link, then click on "Product Information" on the left side of the screen, then "Urban Mobility", then you will have the icon to click on for the flyer, or product catalog, lists a lot of new stuff I didn't know about.

I just got home from the gas station and a fill up of mid grade (89 octane). The fuel light came on as scheduled at 13 litres. As for the economy and take into consideration this is the break in time I got 46 miles to the gallon (American) or 56 miles to the gallon Canadian which is 19 km per litres. I would suspect that the economy will increase as the miles go on and the riding gets more consistent. As I also found the onboard computer has not been accurate as it has been telling me that my economy has been much better.

A bad day on the C650 GT scooter is better than the best day at work
Today: Just sat on the first C650GT to arrive at Eurocycles, as they were still putting it together. Very cool. Looks even better in person, great ergos, well-optioned, should be an awesome ride!

Checked out one on display at my dealer yesterday.
Kind of cute, kind of strange to see centerstand really close to rear wheel and then ~80% of the length of the vehicle in front of that. Heated handgrips and heated seats on that one. Didn't like the matte blue paint, color fine, matte not.

You were looking at the sport model, on my C650 GT it is easy to set on the center stand

Unless it was that dark sapphire blue, more black than blue. Not sure if the C600S comes with heated grips and seat.
I am wondering if any of the C650GTs will NOT have Highline (heated grips and seat, LED daytime running light, etc)

The heated stuff were options. Never said it was hard to put on centerstand, said it looked funny. The paint was not black/blue, just blue. It was the 600, i.e. no storage.

One more day, my Johnny
One more day . . . . . .
Countryside received two GT's. They both sold in a day.
First impression? Super low CG.

Looks nice.
Does the back tire touch the ground when on the centerstand?
