BMW C 400 GT May Come to India Soon

BMW MOTORRAD INDIA’S INSTAGRAM HANDLE RECENTLY FEATURED a teaser video of a scooter or, to be BMW-precise, an “Urban Mobility” product and it is headed our way.

The C 400 GT is a proper maxi-scooter, quite unlike the usual fare. As is evident from the photograph, the GT has a relaxed riding position. Motive force comes from a 350-cc, liquid-cooled, four-valve, single-cylinder engine that is expected to dish out 34 hp at 7,500 rpm and a peak torque of 35 Nm at 5,750 rpm. According to BMW, the C 400 GT is capable of a top speed of 139 km/h; an experience that has been limited to a handful of riders in India.

Even though the C 400 GT is headed our way, that number is not going to swell much because we expect it to be priced at a hard-to-swallow Rs 12-14 lakh. Regardless of that, the thought of cutting through the air at triple-digit speeds while maintaining a deck-chair posture is tempting enough to test-ride one, is it not?
