BMW C650GT (2015 onwards)

The BMW C650GT is an A2-friendly bike from the maxi scooter lineup of the most famous German motorcycle manufacturer. The bike is very similar to both the C600 Sport and C650 Sport scooters, as they all share the same type of parallel twin engine.

Compared to the other two motorcycles, the C650GT is better in terms of practicality and long-distance comfort, although it is heavier and less powerful than the Sport version.

The main downside of all motorcycles in the entire BMW maxi scooter lineup is their higher price tag. Therefore, it is hard to recommend them over most other motorcycle brands in this category.

A2 Licence Compliance

The BMW C650GT is a 647cc A2-friendly bike. It has a power output of 44 kW (60 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted by at least 20.4% to become A2 licence compliant.


You will need a restrictor to ride the BMW C650GT on an A2 motorbike licence. See the restrictor kits section to check out what restrictors are available for the BMW C650GT.
