I've been riding my 2020 Suzuki Burgman 400 for 2 years now and I'm really enjoying her. I've got just over 1200 miles on mine and it's great in the city, on the twisties or on the highway. Just a great all around bike

I put 5000 miles on a 2019 Burgman 400 and that thing ran better on the interstate than I thought it would. The mpg's got better the longer you were out there, and the bike was heavy enough to stick to the road. Top speed was unknown but I had more speed available even at 85 mph. I saw 79 mpg at one point but I like backroads on a bike. 65mpg was the most common average. Great bike.

Yes the Burgman 400 is very good doing super highway speeds. Like yourself, I avoid expressways. I enjoy secondary roads and seldom exceed 100 km/hr (62 mph). I have 2019 Burgman 400 that I bought new, and its great fun to ride. Scooters are the best bikes to ride when you are 76 like me!

Man, that crack in the middle of the highway lane would drive me crazy, too. If nothing else, now you know if you absolutely have to get on a highway it's no problem with your 400. Great video!

I spent a couple of years commuting into Washington DC, round I495 and into the city on I395, and I think the number one technique you can use to stay safe is to leave at least a two second gap to the vehicle in front - and actually count it outload. It saved me when the pickup in front drove over an actual ladder that was lying in the road. You've got to give yourself the time to react to truck tires disintegrating, stuff in the road, the vehicle in front rear-ending another vehicle, and all the other nonsense. 👍

My 2006 Suzuki Burgman 400 did highway speeds just fine. No worries.

Hey man, good video. One thing I noticed, I would strongly recommend positioning yourself in other vehicles' side mirrors so that you are not in their blind spot. Safe riding..

Thank you so much for your video on the Bergman. I have been thinking about getting one. I live in Houston, so it's good to get a perspective from a fellow Houstonian.

Just bought a Bergman 400 yesterday. Looking forward to familiarizing riding again starting in the neighborhood, but really nervous about when the time comes for me to attempt the expressway!

I'm sold!; Thanks for the video and your bravery to show us it handle highway the mbike

I have a2022 bmw c400gt it does fine at hiway speeds have had it up to a indicated 90mph a couple of times I do live at 7000 thousand ft elevation the engine is 350cc 11-5 to 1 compression with very large valves for its displacement, it's rock steady with excellent wind coverage try it you,ll like it !😊

It looked so smooth...

Great vid, thanx dude.

A nice bike, a wonderfully clear wide road and great weather. It's just a matter of getting used to the high speed traffic and watching all around you. Since speeds are higher traffic can "sneak up" into your blind spots easily and catch you unawares. It's all about awareness. The Burgman 400 easily copes with the motorways (freeways) of the UK at all speeds. Thanks for a great video.

when you where in the suburbs, i said to myself.. that looks like texas.. then further in the video you said houston i was like dang.. i still remember the streets of houston when i lived there.. they never changed

That big truck was moving. Heavy goods vehicles in the UK and Europe are limited to a max of 56mph (90kph).

One of my favorite things when someone asking me - oh that’s a cute scooter , how fast it goes , 50 per hour and I am just- well it’s 85 :) and the look on their faces😮hahhaha

I had a 2009 i put a kandn air filter. Witch helps i once had it up to almost 90 and I felt there was more it was rated at 160klom i put a extra piece on the windschild called laminalshield. And a 130 ds.horn 45leader trunk lalso liked the sound of the moter then the 650cc.

I have a 2005. It'll do almost 95mph, but it doesn't like it much. Very smooth at ~65mph with plenty of passing power if you got the cohones for it. Crosswinds, passing big trucks, and crap roads are no fun either. But for a little 400cc scoot with almost zero maintenance? It's a great bike for easy scenic day trips, even two up, and perfect for year round daily commutes at sane speeds. I'll take my scoot in a downpour over almost anything else on two wheels =)

Awesome review thanks for sharing from Australia

I have a 2006 Suzuki Burgman 400S and it can cruise 75 mph all day. You have to play with the F/R tire pressure and the rear shock adjustment for more stability and comfort.

Thank you for this video. We ride a HD Tri-Glide due to my wife's many health issues, but it rides like a dump truck and is extremely hard to steer. I am wanting to go back to two wheels, but I want a smooth ride so I'm looking at scooters. I was looking hard at Kymco X-Roads 300i but the videos saiy it struggles and had a lot of vibrations at speeds of 60mph and above. So I decided to look at something a little larger. I don't want a real large heavy scooter like a 650, so I've now decided on a 400cc. We have ridden somewhere between 300,000 and 400,000 by motorcycle (mostly large ones) and there are still certain roads I hate to ride. We live in Ohio and ride a lot on devided highways where the speed limit is 70 mph. We usually run 65mph to be more relxed. But the outer belt around Columbus (270) makes me nervous. The outer belt around Cincinnati(275) makes me REAL nervous, The West Viginia Turnpke Rt77) makes me nervous, But Rt 81 in Virginia I will NEVER ride again. It is a white knuckle highway. You keep a firm grip on the bars all the way and your blood pressure probably goes out of sight. Semis changing lanes at 85plus MPH zig zagging here and there. No way will I ever do that road again. Thanks again for this video. Ride safely and enjoy every journey.

Nice Ride

Interstate generally just isn't fun riding and I avoid it but sometimes you have to get where you're going directly so there's a need to know if your scooter can handle it when necessary. Truth is the interstate isn't so bad when you get away from metropolitan areas. Smooth sailing then. Burgy 400 is fine but I'm looking at a Kymco AK550. Love the Suzuki brand and sure wish the 650 Exec was still in production. Riding a 2018 VStrom 1000xt now but getting old and need something easier to manage.

I ride a Vespa 300 on the highways quite a bit around DC. I don't love it because at those speeds I can't accelerate my way out of trouble. And bad road surfaces - lots of those in my area - do make me nervous. But the looks I get from people in cars can be fun. The upside to highway riding to keep in mind is that the traffic is generally more predictable. The downside is that if something goes wrong at those speeds, well...

It's Brave of you to take to highways at those speed considering that there's no coming back 100% or not at all if something goes wrong . I'm a witness of fatalities seen to many motorbike accidents though out my life and had one myself . I still ride at sixty years old but not at highway speeds, I go nice and slow just for my errand you know and even that worry me sometimes , I know it's hard not to let yourself go with flow and if the bike can go faster well you can feel that you've mastered the machine and road it feels easy you sometimes will know.

Was the start of the video around Katy, Houston? I'm from the UK and have never been to the US but I enjoy watching Quasimotard videos and it looked like the same area he often rides. Nice video and a great scooter.

Upgrade that wind screen man! I kept the stock one for 1 week and replaced it with the GIVI haven't looked back since.

I do a regular 300 kilometre round trip to Sydney on my Burgman 200. No problem with keeping up with traffic. Drops back a bit on large hills and sits on about 8000rpm at a steady 110kph (60 mph) top speed about 130kph. Like my little scooter

I just bought a Burgman 400. Tomorrow it is getting on the highway. One of the roads is a 55mph paved country road, and the return trip is a 65mph 4-lane. I'm looking for better performance over my Honda Rebel 300.

I have had a Burgman 400 since 2013..yes it can do highway speeds..it just a light bike..when you get those crosswinds..

Hey Mike - thx for the video, great job. Houston's a big busy city. I'm 150 miles NE of you. My 2006 AN400 goes everywhere, local, regional & coast to coast. Took my her last Fall, from East Texas to San Diego. Up 287 thru DFW, I-40 W. Down just E of Phoenix, thru Payson to Gila Bend, then W on I-8 1650 miles / 4 days. Watch for potholes & road crud like a HAWK ! Crazed Semi Drivers can be sketchy - avoid em ! Stay in their mirrors or beside them, or allow plenty of space. What year is your Burgman 400 ?.

good job

i did a run with mine on i 10 near tucson az the max 100 mph ? but she did it for about 300 mls but it was windy in parts and i pass a truck and got wind guts i got a bit of woble for a minute but i did pass the truck to clear him and got in front of him on slow lane but here in southwest the winds are serius . now i am moving back to east coast below south carolina near the atlantic ocean better rides over there if is not raining or cold key west fla here i come .

Nothing like going on the highway with a scooter. Not have to worry about hitting gears and other things. Scooters are a lot of fun, especially in the 650 would have been better for the highway. A little bit more heavier. You would have felt a whole lot safer on it. But they do not make them anymore. Would love to know why that was a good machine. You can get app to a 110 miles an hour on that 650 bird man.

I don't mind when a car pulls out if i have reasonable time, but u just pray its not the idiot who pulled out an actually panics an stops!!

I live in Houston, and I agree the highway is not friendly for 2 wheelers. I like riding my PCX on the streets and I get to learn new areas/routes.

Im sure it would do fine i have friends who own them ride on the highway often with no problems. I myself own a 2016 Kymco People GTi300 & it does freeway speeds easily. .

The 400 Burgman can maintain freeway speeds.

I wish the "highways ' in the uk were as clear as this. Give the M25 a go at 8am, and that will bring your anxiety out.

I got a 2022 Honda PCX 150 two months ago. Never rode a motorcycle before then. Just last week, I took it on the highway -up to 65 MPH. Loads of fun, but the winds from those big semi trucks tend to toss me around a bit. Super fun, though. I wish they sold the Honda Forza 750 in America, though. That looks so sweet.

Just an FYI, I have a 2022 Burgman 400. I always ride with my Garmin Zumo XT. I find the the Burgman speedometer is close to 5 mph optimistic. You think you are going close to 70 mph but in reality you're doing 65 mph. Also please be sure to test ride the Can Am before you commit. I owned a Ryker for a while and the steering is touchy. I upgraded the suspension. It made it a little better but you still had to be on your toes. Be careful if you sneeze!

Holy crap what speed are those trucks going? They are limited to 56mph in uk

Your caution is good. But don’t let it replace confidence and experience. A two wheeler is a much safer option on the highway than a trike. Your emergency escape options on trikes are no more than in a car yet you are as exposed as a motorcycle. Also cornering for rider and more so for a pillion on a trike places uncomfortable lateral (sideways) loads. This is not an issue on two wheels

Thanks for the great video. I was surprised to see a truck keeping up with you at 80mph. I take it that there are no speed restrictions on them in the US. I would like to get a Burgman 400 - there is a dealer a mile away, so it's very tempting. Would you recommend the Burgman for a 200 mile highway journey?

How was the stability and ride on the highway? My limited experience with my SYM HD200 on the highway was good, except climbing a steep grade.

Since Suzuki diched 650 and decide to sell only 400 at least they should make this 400 to produce 35 hp/37-38 Nm and make it reach 96-97 mph (155 km/h) and to pick up to 75-80 mph (120-130 km/h) with ease. Also they could put 14 inch at back and put better brakes and dash considering the price (almost same like BMW C400GT with much better spec brakes, performance and technology). But... they did not so Yamaha, Honda, Kymco take the lead over Suzuki past few years or so (completely missed opportunity to continue to led the pack as pioneers in this category). What they're thinking?

So I always use pass button to high beam them to enhance the chance of other drivers seeing me

I got me a 2022 silver burgman 400 new put over 650 mls in 2 month? . Did the 1st oil change full synthetic and serv . Now I am riding the interstate it goes 100 mph no problem 1 Rider . I sold my mp3 500 because of the 3 wheels problems . Don't buy 3 wheels . Trust me . Big maintenance Head aches . Not safe for me at least. I Ride so AZ . Get your wife canam touring spider I took test Ride on touring spider .not for me I like 2 wheels ..put videos of all your family's riding. .lam gonna do Galveston bikes festival soon.

What year is this Burgman? The later one with 28hp or the earlier one with 33? Obviously the earlier one would be more capable on highways.

Of course it can. My Vespa 300 is more than up for it

Crazy how people can be mean. I’m a biker since 25 years and I live in Suburbs Houston and I wonder if I’m not going to trade my V -Storm 650 for the Bergman 400 or a Kymko 550. The plus for the Suzuki is reliability, the plus for the Kymko is twin cylinder 550 but not sure about reliability.

Yes absolutely, The SB 400 has a top speed of over 75mph ,

I have the Kymco AK550, it's so easy and comfortable to ride...scooters rule!

Do you need a motorcycle license for these types of scooters

I'm wondering if all highway s from USA are so bad?!

75 is good for today speed

Instead of a Can-Am, which is large, expensive, and a bit overwhelming, I suggest buying your wife a cute 50cc scooter with a low seat height, like a Vino, Metropolitan, or Vespa if you want to look Audrey Hepburn cool . She will likely find a little scooter more smiles per mile. You can then add a small top case with backrest for your child. I don't know how old your child is but I gently suggest that you get him or her a small dirt bike and let them loose to crash over and over in the soft dirt. They'll spend hours of fun around your neighborhood and come back dirty and happy. Over time, if you wife or child want to get more "serious" then move up in size, but I think you'll find the smallest bikes are clearly the most fun for casual riders (and secretly for many experienced riders, but they won't say it out loud). For the one or two times per year your wife grudgingly agrees to a long freeway ride, give her your Burgman and you borrow or rent something interesting, or just spend an extra 30 minutes on your small scooters taking the long way to that favorite restaurant on the other side of town.

My dad had a 07 and had major problems with the fuel injection. I took it on the highway a couple times an the last time I road it it death wobbled on me at 75mph . That bike was a pos

Them people going around 90

I hate driving aside trucks

Absolutely get the no highway/motorway thing 👎🏻 not my cup of tea either 🇬🇧.

Try a 650 burgman then your'l really fly lol

You are not doing 85mph,get a satnav fitted and working on your bike then ride it again showing 85mph then look at your satnav,it will be showing a slower speed.I have ridden the scooter on a motorway and it was struggling to do 70mph in windy conditions,I doubt your scooter will do 80mph because of the wind.My scooter was a Suzuki Burgman 400.I did have a suzuki Burgman 650 and that had trouble at fast speeds.

I take nothing on the Interstate below 640cc. I also wouldn’t ride no Scooter 55 plus mph.

I would strongly urge all bike riders to install seat belt on your bikes for the safety of yourself and passenger on your back to tie both down from "flying away" when falling down in an accident or breakdown. The seat belt could be the one removed from junked cars, a seat belt from airplane is even better.

sounds like you should not be on a bike

My, my such manly comments about riding a motorcycle on the freeway. You must be the type of riders that create havoc on the roads with your “manly” recklessness!

SCAM TITLE.. you discussed more about your fear/anxiety than the burgman itself. You didn't do justice to the motorcycle and the brand itself..
