2003 Suzuki Burgman 650 review from United States of America
"Great fun and comfortable too"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing.
General comments?
I use this as a touring motorcycle, including two trips to Canada of 3,000 miles each. I pack all regular clothing, toiletries, books, and a fifth of vodka under the seat. I pack all foul weather clothing in a tail bag on the seat behind me.
Great comfortable (relatively) light weight touring bike. Great bike for the curvy roads. The CVT transmission keeps the motor always at the correct speed for entering and exiting turns. The bike can be leaned over far with nothing scraping.
Lots of good weather protection with a after-market Clearview windshield. I average 53 mpg on my long trips. No sex appeal, but the Swiss army knife of motorcycles.
