I've owned 4 Harleys and a Suzuki Drifter. Due to health issues, I got a Burgman 400 in 2008. I absolutely loved it! It changed my whole outlook on super scooters. As you found in your test ride, they just work for anything you want to do. After a couple of years, I test rode a 650 Burgman, but the extra weight (and cost) was just not worth it to me. The 400 was plenty fast and much easier to push around in parking lots. I ended up trading it for a 600 Honda Silverwing, which is pretty much the same thing. It is a little faster and smother, but not much. As my health got better, I did get another harley, but sold it because i never rode it. I always chose the super scooter over the harley, unless I just wanted to look cool. I've been thinking about going back to the 400 Burgman since they quit producing the Silvewing and mine is getting a little old (2012). I found that changing the windshield for a taller one or adding a wind deflector lip can get rid of the wind buffeting for taller riders. Those long running boards/fairings are the best thing since slice bread. You can move your feet around and stretch you knees and butt on long rides. In the summer, the motor does not roast your nuts. And when it rains, you are dry until you stop! Great review! Although, you did giggle a lot! But thats ok, I still do on mine,

I just picked up the 2022 Burgman 200, it rides like a Cadillac compared to other scooters and motorcycles I’ve ridden. Great suspension, excellent cruiser. The CVT is the smoothest I have experienced, it feels like you’re driving a regular automobile. The new Burgman 200 is a powerful vehicle, you can absolutely ride two up after the break-in period. I can’t believe I was actually thinking about getting the ADV 150. The 2022 Burgman 200 is expensive but only $700 more than the weak ADV 150 which is grossly exaggerated and overpriced. And yes, the Burgman 200 and 400 are capable of highway speeds.

Great review, but you got the brakes the wrong way around buddy. Right is front like a bike, left is rear. The park brake is for leaving the bike on inclines on the sidestand, since you can't leave it "in gear" like a manual geared bike. But best is the comfort and underseat storage, and the great weather protection. A truly practical 2 wheeler.

Friends from Italy rave about the Burgman 400 as an all-around travelin' machine. I've tried a couple late model Vespa 300s and didn't gel with their little wheel dynamics at all. Surprisingly, my girlfriend's Honda PCX150 felt better to ride! A Burgie 400 just might hit the sweet spot, with bigger wheels and more motor.

Maxi scooters (from a reliable brand) are superior to motorcycles in every objective way other than acceleration and top speed. Even on those matters, they're quick enough to beat most cars off the line and can hit 85-100. Comfort, fuel economy, utility, storage, wind protection, maintenance intervals - all wins for the maxi-scooter.

Hey, I am coming back from a huge break to ride motorcycles. Before I bought my V 7iii mid 2018, bought a Piaggio Medley 150, 2 years earlier. You guys have straight lanes and open roads so no problem using the car instead. Here in Europe, especially the southern part, where weather is good, Scooters are urban weapons :) Have you tried to lift the seat up? It has over 40 lt of space, enough to put helmet in, and your rain gear. There are also 2 compartments under the handlebars for small stuff! It is great to go for groceries and small shopping, like clothes and shoes etc. And while raining its offering superior protection to reach the office dry. I kept it the Medley and I aint have plans of selling it!

If going on long trip or to event would ride my Road King. But around town or short highway. Trip aprox. 500 miles Would rather ride Burgman. Can't beleive how smooth it rides and will cruise at 70 m.p.h. all day long. Also has CIVI tour pack. Plenty of room for a 1 up trip. Storage under seat large. Keeping this toy. 50 m.p.g. + so will be around for awhile. Have no complaints. Just not Sturgis worthy unless everyone had one. 😃✌

The biggest advantages of scooters: all that beautiful storage space under the seat and the far cheaper mechanic labor (at least in Los Angeles, where I live. They charge $120-plus/hr at every motorcycle shop.). Cheaper insurance, too. It all adds up. And as far as having something "between your legs," think about that for a second. If you hit a rock going 50 mph and start to fall over, your legs won't be trapped between a 450-700 lb hunk of steel. Plus, on a scooter, you have the front fairing to protect you. Scooters, though, need bigger wheels, generally speaking. And they're goofy looking. But damn, who wants to throw on a backpack every time you jump on your Ninja or R6 because you have zero storage space? It's all about your needs, I guess. :)

I enjoy the video and thank you for doing the ride. I currently own a 2015 Honda PCX150 scooter/bike and it works good for me. I am a disabled (R.A. Rheumatoid Arthritis) retired veteran and these scooters/bikes work for me. I want the Burgman 400 for the ALRSC (American Legion Riders of South Carolina) because the rules state we have to have 350cc min. to be in the riders. My Honda PCX150 works very good and has mods to achieve 75mph GPS. I rode it a few weeks back to a meet and greet so with the 5+ hour ride and breaks I never had any issues. My disability with weight limits and auto control (no clutch for my crippled hands) with light weight makes it a dream and fun. Storage is another thing. Plenty of storage under seat to carry some things with you and my Honda PCX now has a 30l top box. Be safe have fun and enjoy.

From what I've heard and know about the 650 Bergman it's a totally different beast than its younger sibling the 400. However , you got the 650s nickname wrong, it's not called the mother of all scooters. It's nickname is the Cadillac of Scooters because everyone agrees it's like sitting in a recliner on wheels. Hence it earned the name because of his level of comfort! I totally agree with you about everything you said regarding the 650. Cheers, and enjoy

I ride a 650 07 burger. It’s a great bike. Different but the same as a cycle. I love love love mine as a practical mildly sporty daily commuter. Oh and the weather protection is phenomenal. I did the one foot duck walk looking for the clutch dance first ride too.
@RabidHedgehog 4 жыл бұрын
Yup just a bit awkward at first. I have actually rode an older Vespa manual where you clutch and twist the grip all on the same hand.... I have to say since that is so awkward to do it is much better to have the auto.

I don’t know if it applies as much to the 400, but on the 650 getting away from the stock battlax tires really increased my giggle per turn ratio. Same hand throttle and clutch sounds aggressively italian.

Great video, and comments, i have watched this quite a few times, i have a Kawasaki j300 and a Brand new 2020 Suzuki Burgman 400 on order....This has nothing to do with starting out on Motorcycles, i have owned over 30 PLUS Sport and sport tourers From Thundercat 600 to Bandit 600, Blackbird CBR 100XX and Suzuki M90 1500 Cruisers...I have gone to Maxi scooters for the reason of Practicality, ease of use in London and Comfy long distance Touring....At least i dont get the wrist ache from City stop start stop start traffic anymore, plus i can carry food and drink and extra warm clothing and rain gear, when i stop anywhere i put everything under the seat and it looks look i came by car (Ha ha ha ) MAXI SCOOTERS RULE EVEN IF YOU HAVE ONE AS A SECOND BIKE........Thanks for Video Rabid....

I bought a 2005 Burgman 400 type S with low miles. Not logged very many miles due to winter, but it has been easy to get used to it. I am big and and I can get around on it very well. It just does anything well, and is quite reliable, and easily maintained. The thing I like the most about this video is how he giggled like a schoolgirl the whole ride. They are enjoyable to ride. I have no Harley aspirations, I just want to be in the wind, to be able to twist the throttle and watch the miles disappear. And that is what the thing does best.

It's a scooter dude. It isn't weird. We get it about the brake and shift. Repeating it over and over isn't helping anyone with deciding to get one or not. We scooter riders want to know the size, weight, get up and go power, braking and features. Thumbs down on your review👎
@Keith0020 2 жыл бұрын
Agree totally.He was making fun of it all the time and calling the scooter "this thing" all the time. He obviously doesn't know that the front brake is on the right hand lever.Overall a very poor and ignorant review.

The constant laugh in your voice is very distracting to the point of being annoying. One who has a constant laugh in their voice denotes a nervous person. Please check yourself and lose the inappropriate laughter.
