Who says scooters can’t be brawny? The new C 600 Sport from BMW is “undoubtedly” the most capable of the two-wheelers we’ve ever tested in this class, and it offers enough power and practicality that some commuters won’t blink at the hefty price. Like its sibling, the touring-oriented C 650 GT, this maxi-scooter can tuck two helmets or a fair stash of groceries in its storage compartments, and its automatic transmission makes operation easy for beginning riders. Though the Sport is “less responsive than a traditional motorcycle,” it provides “quite an enjoyable ride.”
