Moreover, unlike most scooters in India, the BMW C 400 GT rides on a 15-inch wheel at the front and a 14-inch wheel at the rear, and according to the German manufacturer, the smaller rear tyres are being used to liberate more storage space under the seat.

In addition to that, the new BMW C 400 GT also has a lot of road presence and could be mistaken for something much more potent than it actually is, which makes it all the more desirable to many buyers in the country.

The new BMW C 400 GT is also available in two shades - Alpine White and Style Triple Black.
