Looking seriously at the C650GT as a commuter and it seems to tick a lot of boxes - ABS, great weather protection, heated seat/grips, loads of storage, automatic, electric screen and so on.
Anyone ever take on out? Joe Duffy has a demo bike so might try it.
14 grand on a scooter with all the bits though.....
My husband's knee problems meant he had to get rid of his K1200LT. Found getting on a bike hopeless so he recently bought a 2013 C650GT. Very low mileage. Expensive new, but prices drop like a stone, so 2nd hand makes sense.
We rode to Ullapool for the weekend yesterday - me on my 2010 F650GS, Eric on his scooter. Following him you can see it leans on the corners like a conventional motorcycle. Acceleration is excellent & he averaged 64mpg, which means it has a good range. Storage under the seat very good & he has the topbox also.
He really enjoys it & has meant he can continue to enjoy something he loves.
By the way, motorcyclists still wave to him
If you fancy one, try it but I think the price new is over the top
