This old man is getting off his ST1300 due to heat, bulk, and especially the high center of gravity. Picking up a Burg today. This will hopefully, give me another 20 years of riding.

Just picked up a 2006 650, 13,000 miles, for $1,700. Have had a couple of Burgmans, and just adore them. Won't miss my Harley a bit. ;)

Great "everyman's" review. Love my 650 Executive, 2008, just got it this week 😎

I've lived all over the planet and riden many scooters because of that fact. America doesn't know what it's missing when it comes to fun, easy, reliable riding. The rest of the world isn't so caught up in the American Harley, center of the Universe,..why don't you get areal bike, BS. Yeah,..smaller scoots aren't great for trips, but amazing for city slicking,..but once you get into these bigger scoots they're amazing ! Had a Kymco exciting 500, and that thing would pull 80mph before you even realized how fast you were going. And it topped out at arond 103mph.

Ive broken my gas tank door 3 times, lost the rear tail twice, broke my folding mirror light plastic the same as yours, snapped a brake lever tip. But what a bike. Replaced everything in Suzuki official. Got it in 2012 with 27k km sold it in 2019 with 119k km. Bought a 2008 model with 29k km a few months back. Absolutely love these Burgmans. Best bike for my hiking trips to the mountains because it can carry all my gear.

I have a 2004 Burgman 650. My dad rode a Harley until he could not handle it anymore. He picked up the Burgman 650 and loved it. Used it in parades for the Blue Knights. I ended up with it after he passed. Love it. It just recently stopped moving. It is at the shop, replaced the clutch, CVT belt. Only 4,000 miles on it. Something between the clutch and Rear gears is not working. I hope to have it back soon. Ride on.

One thing you should do is clean or replace the filter that covers the CVT. The belt is not replaceable without tearing the bike apart. The filter allows the CVT to be air-cooled without getting dirt inside.

I bought one 2010 executive...I love watching these reviews because I know just how surprised and excited you are . .fucking love burgman ❤

I drove many bikes now i have my burgman 650 for a year and i can tell its different and way more comfy, powerful engine, wind protection is great. Regards from France.

I'm picking up a 2013 Executive model this week. Also have a 2002 Silverwing. Can't wait to ride some.

The CVT belt is for live. Only if it rip you need a new belt. Have the 2005 Burgman 650. Love it.

I've owned a 2007 since June 1st of this year. 5800 miles, $3700. A 24 mile commute for work, 46.5 mpg

Suzuki Burgman 650cc The best maxiscooter!!!

Thanks for sharing. I look forward in getting one next Spring ✌🏿.

Nice to see someone just happy to be out and about on the Burgy 650. They say the rider quickly develops the Burgman grin. I did and I still have it. Fast when needed and very comfortable. Beware the speedo reading. They are known to over read by 10% throughout the range. I discovered that as well when my gps was used. There's a guy online under the name LeDude. Many vids on maintenance, disassembly, wheels off etc. Sadly only for up to about 2012 so no longer useful for me.

Good for you man you got a great bike. I have one as well and I love it as much as you do. Also, respect, you’ve got a great manner and I like your style paying your debts more and more unusual these days the world needs more gentleman like you.

Really nice bike, you should really enjoy it, they fly. I have a 2004 650 with 55000 kms on it now, no problems . They are a pleasure to ride, i' ve gone as many as 600 plus kms on it in one day, very comfortable to ride. Good luck with your new bike, enjoy, ric, ontario canada.

Great video...I got a 06 burgman.....big bike, super nice ride! Thanks!

Great video. I just purchased a 650 Executive, which I plan on riding from New Hampshire to Washington state this summer. With stops at Glacier, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone national parks. So this video was really informative, and very enjoyable to watch. Safe riding to you brother.

Nice ass review!! I currently have a 2007 Burgman 400 but that bad boy is gonna be sold tomorrow and I’m picking up a 2009 Burgman 650 Executive ✌🏼 Rock on & Stay safe 💯

I had a 2013 Exc. Since 2 weeks I have a 2018 Exc. 3300km on it. It is a fantastic machine! Love to have one.

Just picked a 2009 650 burgman today i been riding since i was 14 now 74 my harley and 1800 goldwing has got very heavy in the last two years that why i bought the burgman i know i am going to love this burgman more each day i ride enjoyed your video safe travels to you . Ronnie G . .birmingham Al.

Love this review your spot on with this!

I too have a 2009 Burgman 650 which I've owned since new! - Friendly tip: check out the "Laminar Lip". It works wonders eliminating almost ALL wind noise at speed. Oh, and thanks for your really entertaining video - I enjoyed it!

They're bad about those seat locks😎 my '08 650 Executive is awesome!

I'm picking up a Burgman 650 non executive this weekend, 4 years after this video. I am a re-entry rider after 25 years of not riding. I used to ride sport bikes, now I own two cruisers, and a Honda Elite 250. I find myself gravitating towards the scooter daily, so I'm selling the Vulcan 1500 for the Burgman 650.

Dude you get me laughing just listening to you talk about this scooter.

I am busting my ass off as a 19 year old male Canadian, living in a dense area, trying to get my big ass hands on a Burgman 650 while surviving the insurance purge (I don’t have one yet) but I will fight to own one of these!

Love my 2009 the thing is a rocket of a scooter! And talk about comfortable on the highways all day long great gas mileage 😊!

Leaving a similar legacy. Good 4U😎

I have owned many motorbikes over my life. Toured around the States as well as the Canadian Maritimes. My most recent touring bikes have been BMW's. I had a K75RT and an R1100R. They both were exceptional bikes, but a friend of mine had a 650 Burger which he rode from SC to Alaska twice! One day we were riding in West VA on some pretty challenging roads and as hard as I pressed that K75, I'd look in the mirrors and there'd be the front of that Burgman... Finally I was grinding metal and at the limits of my riding skills and still... there was the front of that damn Burgman in my mirrors! My R1100 handled really, really well but the Burgman 650 handles very nearly as good. Really! You just have to use a bit different technique. I bought my '07 650 Executive when I was having some hip problems that prevented me from swinging a leg over a conventional moto. The 2 BMW's are now gone and I can unequivocally say that the Burger is the finest touring bike I have ever owned. BTW, the top speed is electronically limited to 115 mph, at least on mine.

I have both big bike and scooter no difference love both!

Great video greetings from Holland

i just got a 2003 model from the original owner. All kinds of goodies came with it. 31K for $2250. Its quite the adjustment coming from a '93 ninja 500, but i think im gonna like it!

Gonna get one of these once my car is paid off next yr! Cool video

Ive gotra admit, I've never seen "big boy"and "scooter" in the same sentence before. Or had them in the same thought.

Love my Burgi. Storage for days

Gotta get one for road trips

Dude...LOL...Priceless! I own a 2009 Suzuki AN 400CC....it goes like snot! Appreciate your enthusiasm with this bike vid. So at 120 klm (75 mph) with plenty left on the throttle "this ain't your aunties scooter" 😉😎. My speedo say 180 klm/hr. Cheers!

Take them Stickers off the Glove Box, lol. Nice bike though....

Good review!! Thanks. You should try a bigger screen. Or a clip on! That a big difference.

Nice job. I love my 2015 Burgman 650. I believe your CVT belt on your model is rated for the life of the scooter. There is a filter to blow off every 7500 miles. It for a little fan that keeps belt cool.

That's a "lifetime" belt, God for 50-60,000 miles😎

Nice!

If you still have your Burg, I’ve got a Silverwing and I live near Chipley. I’d be happy to ride with you and see how the big boy scoots compare. I live on highway 77 off I10.

The best maxi scooter without doubts. The only think I don't like about it is the look of the tail. The tail lights look like the tail lights from a scooter made in 1990's. Anyway, I am planning to buy one next year.

I've had two Burgs. Great motorcycles. Long wheelbase makes it stable. Speedo is off by 10%. 100 indicated is actually 90-91.

100 mph ....no problem !

Have had a 2003 for almost 10 years. It's not a beauty, and weights as much as a school-bus. But it's the only scooter which makes You feel like a king! Loved it, and still think, it's the greatest thing, Suzuki ever has built! Sadly it's discontinued, and there is nothing similar to buy new anymore. Look for "fortnine burgman 650" here at YT! The best homage to the big Burg.

"This one has the digital dash on it." Yeah, all 650s up to that year did. I forget which year they switched the 650s to the better analog dash, (there's still a digital readout in the center for temp and other information.)

I have a Kymco AK 550 and it´s amazing

I had 115 out of my Burgman 650 (2002) Standand. Only had 105 out of my 2010 Exec. I'm told it has something to do with Euro emissions regulations which made Suzuki fit a fat catalytic converter which strangles the performance. I don't know how true that is, but my 2002 was a LOT quicker than my 2010. Not just on top speed, but acceleration as well.

If you can afford another let's go riding man.... I'm ready all day

Being automatic doesn’t a scooter make, right from the Second World War right up to today there has been geared scooters, with a clutch, and front and rear brake, the rear brake is floor mounted just like a car. I have a vespa PX200EFL and a Lambretta GP 200. I think myself what makes people class a scooter as a scooter is the lack of a petrol tank in the frame. The reason I have come to this conclusion is because, when I ride towards a bike on my Suzuki Burgman 650 I put my hand up and because it looks like a big touring bike head on they greet me back. That till the get closer and see it’s got no tank. Boy do they drop the hand quickly. Lol sad really cos I’ve had so many bikes and love em all. Just wanted to add, cos it’s a biggie, I too admire your desire to honour your debt. In the young of today it’s outstanding! A credit to your parents and to you too. It’s all too easy to take the road of lack of ethics. God Bless you my friend, oh and I pray your trip comes off for you x

Good Job, I posted a link a to your video on burgmanusa.com and people are talking about it already. More Burgman vids please.

Just wondering if you still have it and how your liking it ? Still want one.. thanks.

I scrap hard parts on my scooter. The 200 efi scooters have some pep to them.

The drive belt lasts between 80,000-100,000 miles BUT it’s a mega mega job to replace it! You’ll probably scrap it then.

What product did you use to restore the trim? Magellan Black ‘what’? I didn’t catch the name of the product. Thanks

It's a forever belt so 15k is not a lot for it also CVT belt cost up to 1000. from dealer but you can get it as low as 600. On line belt is not one two three like 400 or 500cc it is not that simple but when done it's going to drive like new. Worry more about fluids being right weight and synthetic. Have fun with her she is nimble and quick for 650.

that extra 3K RPMS...MAAAAAN! lol

Quite a while ago one of the first Burgman 650 I think it was a 2004. Always regret selling it. One of the reasons I sold it was because my friend who had the same scooter had the transmission disaster happened to it and it cost Thousands. Did my studying and failing transmissions have been a problem and a game changer for me in thinking about getting another one. Are you aware of the problem, if so what was it that convinced you to get the Burgman 650 instead of a Honda Silverwing 600?. I remember it was the King of scooters but I never trusted it. I’m hoping to hear from all you guys your opinions Thank you, Steve B. In Pensacola

I hope you didn't try to replace the belt..

This ( 650 cc) burgman is a motorcycle in scooter disguise . Or a (Man Scooter). it will do 15 sec. in the quarter mile.

Good video. Hope you never have debt in your life

The power button increases engine braking a lot

I have a 2009 Executive AN version. These bikes are no longer sold in Australia only the 400 and 200 are available now. In my opinion when they were made these bikes were the benchmark for maxi scooters. All the features you mention are good - the Executive has the electrical fold in mirrors and the electrically adjustable screen. Storage in the dash is great and the under seat are will take two full face helmets. A top box completes the storage. ABS brakes are a good feature with twin discs up front and a single disc on the rear. The manual mode is great for the highway as it provides a 6th gear for better fuel economy. Here is my review kzfaq.info/get/bejne/guB0mpx-tMeweIU.html

Hi. What did you put on that fade plastic so look so fresh?

I thought Bergman belt was lifetime ? I heard something like that .

Wsh you good luck in California 😊😊😊

Thanks for the video! How is that detailer for the black plastic called? Mac Wire ?

I love my 2014 650 burger!!!! I love waxing 40,000 $ cvos !!!! I love smoking guys with Harley on the 650 berg scooter it feels good and comfortable while doing it!!!!!!! I have had all kinds of( HD) dynas and street glides... over price JUNK!!!! I got to old for my race bikes!!! you should try a Yamaha 1900cc raider torque monster … that's my other favorite bike I have!!!! I have had the raider past 140 mph with out shakes and rattles like my ( poorly engineered ) Harleys … I divorced Harley (rip off) and went back to the metrics!!!!! The ladies love riding on the scooter as well.... the scooter will take a Harleys girl!!! unless you want a ROAD PIG HARLEY GIRL!!!!!

My 80 year old dad has a 2016 burgman 650. So now I’m thinking I need one also to ride with him. I found a 2006 650 with 3300 miles for $3500. I would prefer having ABS brakes but the one I am looking at doesn’t. Any thoughts on ABS with a maxi scooter?

At 2:19, were you referring to Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer?

The belt of the 650 is almost a lifetime one, it can hit 100k if the bike was ridden easily and with an eye of the cvt air filter to clean up periodically.

I'm sick of hating on scooters just because they're scooters! This Burgman is trick! I'm very seriously considering the possibility?? Definitely not your usual girls campus cruiser!

He mentions changing the belt ! But aren't the 650,s gear driven ?

Get a USB 12v plugin and be able to use both.

You need a endorcement MC?

What did you put on the faded plastic to bring back the color

Hi there, I'm buying this bike tomorrow. Second hand, 2004 model. Any idea what I should be looking out for? Thanks!

just dont let yer friends see ya on it.😂😅

I see at least 3 different people saying you don't have a belt! And I bet not one of them has even checked out a Burgman! I have a 07 400 and I know they have a belt cause I had to change it,But it saved me 700.00 by buying it as is (belt broken) I know it was a gamble but it worked! What I want to know is what EXACTLY is the stuff you put on the plastic? I couldn't find any product called Magellan Black Glass? Are you pretty sure that's right.

Phd in scooter riding.

650 doesn't have a variator belt , 400 has one . I own a 07 and it loves the freeway and the back roads . I keep it in auto on the back roads and manual on the freeway , just my preference . this guy is right, it kicks ass for me

Did you make it to Cali ?

Is the burgman automatic?

So, Mirrormask MV you still haven't figured out what all the controls do? obviously since you 've only gotten to 102 mph..hahaha. to start with if your cruising at 60 mph tap that yellow button on the left and jump in to manual. Don't stop first just tap it. than tap the orange up button to get it in to the right gear. and feel your burgy come to life. when you come up on a cage and you can pass switch back to automatic and tap that power button and give that throttle a hard twist and hang on. don't let off until you reach 115 mph. I mean if your gonna ride it at least ride it like you stole it. oh and the 6 speed gearbox is an electric manual gearbox. while it's not the same as a traditional gearbox it's still a gearbox. do yourself a favor go find someone that owns a harley 883. and challenge them to a race title for title. 1 mile distance flatout. then you'll see what that burgman you have can really do. top speed from the factory for the 883 is only 90 mph. it's like taking candy from a baby all day long. you might even convert the 883 owner...hehehehehe

nice bike..saya suka sekali, sepertinya menyenangkan kalau duduk di atasnya...suatu saat mungkin saya memilikinya ..saya suka dan ingin

Hi I love your videos, please record more, p. S. Have a bit bot , do I can leave you a token for gas and food. Have fun and ride safe.

522# compared to my 200, @313😎

Nice scooter sir u meen. Scooter indian price

Oh ya 110 mph easily!

2011 Burgman has a light when you need to change oil .

BELT?? What belt? It do not have one.

Would you trust it to go cross country???

when are you going to cal.....

Would you leave me your bike?lol
