We don’t talk a lot about scooters here, so you know that when we do it has to be something special.
French company Panda Moto – a BMW dealership from Burgundy – presents its own rendition of the BMW C 600 Sport maxi scooter, offered in a new ‘racing’ guise curated by Panda Moto’s main man Benjamin Dupont.
The basic idea was to give the BMW C 600 Sport some specific connotation inspired by the S1000RR Superbike – from which it got the ‘RR tag’ as well as the classic ‘racing’ colors of the German brand – but things went a little out of hand in the process as the number of fine components used for the model ultimately precluded any possibility of make it road legal.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing though.
Special graphics aside, the changes that immediately catch the eye of this BMW C 600 Sport RR are the new silencer specifically designed for Panda Moto by Akrapovic, a pair of 6-piston front calipers by Beringer, recalibrated fork by Panda Moto, a cool Ohlins S46 schock at the back, the new deflectors, Michelin Power Pure tires and a new saddle made by specialist Yves Moillo.
Benjamin Dupont however did not stop here, and went on to ‘touch’ the mechanics as well: the cylinder head was in fact modified, the speed controller replaced replaced and the final drive chain shortened.

fr you can see that the model is already on display at Panda Moto’s atelier, but the work on the BMW C 600 Sport RR is not finished yet: it will soon receive ‘Streetbike-like’ handlebars by Rizoma, a high performance air filter and a brand new air-box.
Hopefully, once the work is done, Panda Moto will also release some performance figure.
