Dude I love your videos. I’m a senior rider that’s got arthritis in both hands, gout in my left foot, and a bad back also. I really wanted to start riding again, but a clutch and gears were out of the question. It was your videos that convinced me to buy a pre owned Burgman Executive. A nice one owner bike with low miles, and man do I LOVE it! I was on the fence between this Burgman, or a Tmax. The Yamaha is a nice bike, but not $15k nice. And going into debt for a bike just isn’t in my DNA. I rode Harley’s for 35yrs, and they’re great bikes. But I just can’t ride em anymore. I picked up a one owner Executive in mint condition and paid cash for it. Your videos convinced me 100 percent to buy a Burgman, and get into the wind again. I don’t have an ounce of buyers remorse, and the bike is everything you said it was. Thanks for these great videos! It helped me make up my mind, and pull the trigger. Safe and happy riding to you brother!

Burgman 650 all the way. Choice made😁. Best one up tourer I’ve ever owned.

In my opinion, its okay to talk about topics that other people have covered. Different opinions are always good. If I had to choose between different motorcycles and could only have one, I would choose something thats reliable, stylish, has a bunch of customization support so that I wouldnt get tired of the same look and no more than 600cc.

couple points about scooter vs MC. 1) Heat from engine. My ST1300, which I bought new in 06, is simply to hot too ride on hot days, becoming uncomfortable in temperatures above like 75. Unsafe above 80 degrees in city stop and go because you simply get cooked. I've had mild heat stroke on it many times. Not a problem on my 650 Bergman. BIG PLUS. 2) no chain to mess with. Most MC have chain drive and it is a dirty and ongoing job to keep the chain happy. (excepting shaft and belt drive MC of course.) I too would like to see the new 750 Honda scooters in the US. But really, they still have chain drive, I think. The NC750X is essentially the same platform, but set up as an MC. It can be had with either a manual or DCT. Change the street tires out on an NC750X and it's actually quite capable off pavement. (Cousin of the Africa Twin.) Engine placement down low. Similar to scooter. But, there is a chain.

When you drive the american highways - that's no question! Bugman 650 is the only one. I'm driving the curves in the german black forrest and that is also no problem for the 650 !

Have a TW200, KLR650, HD Deluxe and a Electra Glide but now I’m starting to like this Burgman 650, as I’ve tip the age of 60 and my youth has caught up to me the Burgman 650 might be the over all ride for me, the most off paved road I do now is gravel and forest roads and the Burgman appears to be ok with that type of road.

Your bike is really cool! I have a 2013 burgman 650 and a Kawasaki ninja 14 and I ride the burgman more for the things you brought up in your video …. You definitely know that bike!

Hiya Mirrormask I'm hailing from the UK and love your vid's. You make me laugh lol. Anyhoo, I love my Burgervan so much. So underrated as a bike. I actually traded a 2009 Goldwing and a Yammy Virago 1100 for it. Do I regret it ? No way hose. Best thing I ever did. I love it ! I'm in the process of pimping it up with everything I had on my wing. Putting a half ton wing on the centre stand when you have Osteo arthritis in your knee joints. It's painful. Keep up the good work my man.

M ore videos , love it ,from California, northern west , wine country. Keep recording.

Made the choice already, got rid of the HD and went for the Burgy 650.

Thanks Bro 👍🏿

As I sit here listening to your conversation I'm watching you drive down the road and wondering one thing. I also own a 2011 Burgman 650 Executive. I love my bike and while there are a few things I plan to change on it I can honestly say for the money I paid it's already paid for it self. The Burgman 650 is no slouch by any means. For a luxury touring scooter its been my finding that its under estimated by alot of other bikers .The big question I get a lot from people. "Is it slow on the take off?" HELL NO! it ain't slow by any means. When I first bought mine I pulled up to a traffic light a Harley 883 was sitting next to me in the other lane. the guy looks over at me and revs hit throttle abit as if to challenge me. while he's sitting there revving his bike the light goes green and I twist the throttle and I'm gone. I get t the next light a quarter mile down the road its red and I slow down to stop for it. the 833 was still in my rear view. of course those guys that own 883 can only do a top speed of 90 mph. I've had my Burgman 650 executive to 115 mph. (what was Harley thinking when they built that embarrassment?..hahaha) Any ways what I was wondering on your ride was after you got on the high way why you didn't switch over to manual ? As for things I would have liked to have seen change before they discontinued the 650's or if they decide to bring them back at some point. 1. Upgrade the motor to 1400 cc. Give it the power of a true luxury touring bike. Put a 150 lbs on your pillion and take your bike out for a ride you'll better understand why I say upgrade to a 1400 cc. 2. Add air ride suspension. While the burgman as a good suspension any one that has had the air ride will tell you it's worth the money. 3. Cruise control would be really nice on those long rides 4. A full tour package consisting of a 56 liter trunk and matching side bags. 5. Bigger wheels. rather than using moped wheels use actual motorcycle wheels. 6. A 1000 watt bluetooth sound system. it's a luxury touring scooter you gotta have a sound system. 7. A real back rest for the driver thats more than just a cute little pillow. Everything in my list above with the exception of #1. at some point will be added to my executive.

Where were we headed?

than an oldie first gen? 2002-2003? id did subscribe your channel i'm a Burgy fan!

Honda X-ADV DCT 750 The Best of both worlds!!

What about cvt problems? Because I heard a lot of people complaint about this problem. It seems the problem is related with one screw you need to change every oil change... Is that true? Because is the only thing I dont buy one.

I was wondering if you knew what the newest burgman scooter is that is coming to the States all the ones in my area could only get 2018s and I am very upset about that I wanted one last year a 2019 and they could not get one where do you live and what is the newest Bergman that is there please comment back thank you very much

I'm wanting to do some x-country touring. See America...backroads, asphalt only. Looking at Suzuki V Strom 1000xt or a Burgman 650 Exec. Store has both new in stock...2018 model years priced right. I'm 60 years old and like you alluded to, I need more comfort. Which would you buy? Will the Burgman haul a 230 lb.. guy and some gear across America? No interstate...I want to see the countryside. Thinking the Burgman with a top box and a 35L dry bag strapped to the passenger seat plus underseat storage would be enough.

Would you recommend a burgman 650 for a couple in 50s for day trips

How did u get clear audio?

I’m curious as to why you didn’t give an opportunity for the viewers to “view” the vehicle.

Be careful! I had both hands off the handlebars for only a split second, and it started to wobble so fast at only 50mph, and I couldn't regain control. Not fun. I feel there is something is very wrong with the balancing of the front wheel.

Maaaaaaaannn. You too funny. But true though. I have a 2012 Burgman 650 myself. And soon to try a bmw 650 gt scooter as a second scooter and see how that is.

Need to increase the recording volume for next time. Nice vid
