My only BMW motorcycle dealer said they will never carry a scooter. Period. They only want big ballers with high end cars visiting their shop. I guess all of us scooter riders are not worthy. Shame as the BMW scooters are kinda nice.

Yes ... they are still a symbol of globalization pushed to the extreme like buying a Land Rover made in India.
But yes, everyone must be free to choose also based on the brand that (we have already seen) ennobles those who have it.
I don't like the lines of German cars (I like some,few) very much even though I understand that each of us sees things differently; from the point of view of the engines nothing exceptional even if in the USA I only see models of (for us Italians) large displacement and large engines.
I am not objective, on cars unlike two-wheeled vehicles I am very nationalist.

Not my dealer, the manager of Motorrad actual rides a C400 . Yes, they are really nice scoots, I had a C650 and really liked it.

This is tempting... especially for when my BV craps out (in a few years is my guess...) I especially like the option to lower the seat to 29.5 from 31 which is where it is now. A bit high and I feel it when it's a gusty day. Also, heated grips and seat?? Where do I sign???
