I just picked up a 2006 Bergman 400 model with only 2500 miles on it. Adult owned and taken care of well. I've been so impressed with its nimbleness and get-up-and-go! It can run 70 mph easily all day and still be able to zoom to 90 mph when you need to escape a dangerous situation. 70 mpg + or - . Goes well, stops well. I have no reason to get a 650, as this does everything I need it to do, and is easy to perform routine maintenance right at home. I'd have to say this is one of the best deals in a used motorcycle/scooter.

I have a 2014 Burgman 400 that I bought new. I am 6’2 and 260lbs. I have made several 800-1000 mile trips on it. It has no problem maintaining interstate traffic speeds. I have added a rear trunk to accommodate extras for travel and groceries. Would recommend it to anyone. I have a full sized touring bike and tend to take the Burgman over it for comfort. I love it.

I've had one of these for 6 weeks now and I mostly agree with the review done here. The suspension is good on normal roads but when it gets bumpy or on cobblestones you'd wish for better rear end unit. The higher screen sounds a good idea for the taller rider but I'd rather have a Givi Airflow. I don't tear around on mine and average 83 UK mpg 🙂

There only ever was one maxi-scooter for me, and that was the Burgman 650 for it was miles better than the Silverwing and all of the others. Unforunately, serious ill health and old age combined , forced me to drop to the 400 in 2019 - the 650 now being to heavy for me. It broke my heart to p/x it for the 400, but that's life. The 400 does suit my physical conditions, although the difference between the two bikes is chalk and cheese, and it took me a while to get used to the lighter bike. It can be a little skittish, and for me, the power of a 400 should be much better than it is - after all, at a top speed of about 90, it does struggle a bit. My first "big" bike was the 1998 Burgman 400, and it was a much better bike than the current model, and a bit beefier in styling. I don't dislike my current 2018/19 model as it runs well, and covers most of my needs; it's also a very comfortable bike to ride, even on longer journeys. The only thing I DO dislike intensely is the battery compartment now located in the left-hand glove compartment, and totally inaccessible unless you get it modified, which I had to get done by the dealers. That meant having to purchase an Optimate 1 charger, plus a special connector installed with the battery, so by that means, the battery can be charged without the hassle of removing it from the compartment (it fits like the tray of a matchbox, so there is no way to inert your fingers - or even a knife blade to pull it out; and even if you could get that far, the leads to the terminals won't let it move). The only other thing I don't particularly like are the stalk mirrors, although that's just a personal thing. It's a great bike for commuting, light and easy to handle, but it could never compare with the 650. If I had to buy a newer 400, I don't think I would get the Burgman; the 650 spoilt me for IMHO there is no other bike that compares!

Well, I have had Beemers, Africa Twins, Tiger 800's, CRF's both 250 & 300, Honda Shadows and a shit on of other bikes in my close to 70 years. I picked up my first scooter last month (July) and it was this model only silver. I love it. I should have purchased one sooner (meaning years ago). There's my review.

Yeah, the latest incarnation does look a bit sleeker and sportier than it's predecessors, but my 2012 model ("limited") is brilliant and hasn't given me a moments problems. It's a keeper.

....... The best model of all was the 2003-06 Burgman 400, 34bhp, larger underseat storage, no CO² sensor nonsense or rf chip in the key. Only downside, at least for the bad roads here in Brazil, was the combined brake system, 70% rear + 30% front, it'll have you off very quickly on loose surfaces, mud, sand etc..

Why would you want a digital dash? Analogue speedos are great, there is nothing better to than checking your speed on an Analogue speedo. Good review by the way. Cheers

I have owned several Burgman 400. I am fan of them especially as they are one of the only scooters that can accom someoe who is 6ft 3. I would however like to see a Burgman 500 based on the 400 . Larger screen, 60cc bigger engine and 50 litres of underseat storage plus underseat light.

I got a 650 and I love it

Ive had 4 burgman 400,two pre- facelift an two of this shape. An i liked the extra storage an loved the comfort of the old shape. But the new shape looks nicer. If they had kept the comfort of the old seat an put it on the new shape , it would be so much better .

I had a 2018 400 Burgman. Coming down from a twin cylinder it felt like a sewing machine; the engine was noisy on acceleration and for a 400 seemed surprisingly lacking in power. Yes it would turn on a 5p piece and overall the ride comfort and handling were good. However that didn't make up for the lack of power. The Honda Forza 300 (actually 270cc) is comparable.

Waiting for top speed and consumption test. Thanks.

A lot of valid comments about the value proposition being off, but for those of us over 6’4”, the ergonomics of the Burgman are far superior to Honda or Yamaha equivalents. I’ve heard the Kymco AK550 is good also but haven’t tried it. Surprisingly, the Piaggio Beverly is also very comfortable but it’s not a true maxi scooter.

thanks for an excellent review

Year 2023 Suzuki Burgman 400 will there be a new model coming?

I agree with your comments about the Suzuki Burgman 400. My bike is a 2020 Suzuki Burgman 400 with just over 1200 miles on her. I've named her Brandy...I love riding her

I've just traded my 2013 Triumph Tiger in for one of these. I prefer the old fashioned key as yr insurance premium is increased for the smart key. Smart key is a nice convenience though

Thank you.

XMAX 300 a better value but the Burgman 400 is still a good scooter.

I’ve just purchased one !

still waiting for something to top off the gillera gp 800 sadly nothing seems to overthrow it with ddesign or power yet

28 bhp? My 2012 Burgman 400 put out 33. Why the drop? Emissions? Plus mine was a bit lighter. I see the underseat storage is well down too. 42 litres down from 62. This used to be one of the Burgman's strong points over its rivals - the cavernous space under the seat. I still intend to get one though. In a couple of years when I retire. Not really practical at the moment. I have had two by the way. - I had a 2006 before the 2012. So I am definitely a Burgman fan!

The Burgman is the ultimate man machine. I love the utilitarian, industrial, no nonsense looks. Best color is basic commercial white.

I just want Suzuki to add cruise control to this baby, it'd be so good for freeway and long rides.

I got 125,i love it

the engine is from Suzuki or other brand??

I've just ditched my GoldWing as it was getting too heavy for me and am preparing to get another Burgman. I had one of the earliest (2001AN400) and it was a lovely quality piece of kit. I'm not 100% sure of the latest model because the wife prefers footboards and these have rear pegs. But we'll give it a test ride to find out it it's OK. If not I'll have to get a previous generation model. The only serious beef I have with them is the depressing range of colours. I mean black, white, and grey...c'mon.. my 2001 model was a lovely deep metallic wine red colour.

XMAX 300 Cruises at 75 easy . At 70 us MPG.

It has it's advantages, if the scoot is not stuffed full of electronics

Over Wright 210 + kg...over priced. Honda adv 350 or forza better bet.owned 2 . Runs out of puff after 60 mph hardly updated since 2017. Never any finance offers. Needs another 5 bhp. Hardly progression when the previous version had 64 litres of capacity and 33 bhp. A £6999 there having a laugh

Been looking to get back on 2 wheels after about 3 decades without a bike. Considered a few but the 400 Burg seems to tick most of my boxes. Call me fussy but I would absolutely not want a grey/black bike - it's a visibility thing plus I just think plain ol' white looks far better.

If only they put slightly bigger rear wheel. 14 or maybe 15 on a 150 tire.

Burgman 400 real good deal

Had an earlier version as a courtesy bike, comfortable but a little dull

At this weight and HP frankly the now discontinued Burgman 200 performed nearly as well for half the price and nearly 60 kilos lighter. And what dreary, dismal colours. Manufacturers seem to think everything in the world is grey silver or black - great colours for blending into the tarmac and not being seen. It will be reliable however and there'll be plenty of under-seat storage, but this is a backward step by Suzuki.

Glad to hear that Suzuki have no added a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles to this solid basic bike / basic price package. 65 miles per UK gallon or 23 KPL is not that bad for a 400 CVT driven bike. Smart keys are terrible in my opinion. I bought a brand new Tmax 530DX in late 2018 (1,500,000 yen) and am so disappointed with it, that it does not have 2,000 miles on the clock yet. It gives a maximum of 21 KPL ridden very, very gently indeed. I might have been better off with one of these, and would certainly have been better off with a Skywave (Burgman) 650LX at only 1,100,000 yen. I commute about 35 miles each way on a Honda PCX150, but a bad back means I need something more comfortable over rough sections of road and in general. You seemed pleased with the Suzuki's comfort, but having a 530 that is a bit too big for commuting here in Japan and then buying a 400 for commuting would be silly. Shame there is only the 200cc Burgman below this in Suzuki's range. Honda Forza250 perhaps? Thanks for the video.

Super skuter , tylko drogi

I like everything about this Burgman, but I don't like the small storage capacity under the seat, specially if we take into account that it's a maxiscooter

Sir can i know your height plzz so that i can know the Scooty's height

I want one 🙂

I wonder why they scrapped the Burgman 650.

600 lbs?

People= complaint about the price... Kymco 400 = hello mate.....

I have a burgman 400cc I rather have the 650cc burgman there very fast and ride so smooth .😆

Pity they don’t do the 125 version anymore

BMW C400GT IS AWSOME!!

If rumours about the demise of Suzuki as a scooter manufacturer are half true then this latest creation will do nothing to up sales!

Expensive when looked along side honda forza 350

Way too expensive.

Hi

No, no, no to 'smart' keys. It's far too easy for thieving scrotes to use a reader, and nick a vehicle. Just ask the many car owners who have suffered the theft of their cars by thieves using the above method. I personally, will NEVER buy a bike that uses a 'smart' key. Sod the 'convenience' aspect. I much prefer mechanical locks, there is less to go wrong.

Forza 350 is the way to go. Lighter and cheaper .

That dash screams outdated. Even in 2022. Tft is the new standard now.

Engine needs over 38hp

You missed the whole point of a scooter when you threw your leg over the seat.

So Basically the 200cc is better

konuşuyorsun boş motor tanıtımın çok hoş değil sebebi daha uzaktan iyi olurdu malum 1km falan uzakta

Big and ugly. Send it to United States - they'll love it.

Outdated, underpowered, non adjustable windscreen, and small storage space. For what offers is too expensive.

Its overpriced at only 33hp!!!

Used to own this model over in 🇸🇬 and literally this bike doesn’t hold any value at all. Plus it doesn’t have much accessories at all which puts it right under against other existing maxi-scooter. Forza, silverwing, Maxsym, Xmax has way better attributes compared to the Burgman400.
