2006 Suzuki Burgman 400

Summary:

Fun for the rider and the pocketbook

Faults:

Previous owner wrecked it on the right side, and broke the piece of trim under the floor board. Easy to replace.

General Comments:

I have been impressed with the nimbleness the Burgman shows on the road. It corners better than my H-D Sportster 883 Low did.

With the fuel injection, I have been able to ride at 26f this winter, and the scooter cranked without any trouble.

I'm very pleased to say that I'm getting an average of 62.9 MPG between city, highway and back roads.

If you are at least a little mechanically inclined, you should be able to do most services yourself, as all most any part and a service manual is available on-line at many different sites, most the time cheaper than at the dealer.

2003 Suzuki Burgman 400

Summary:

Best 400 cc commuter bike on the road!

Faults:

Not the fault of the bike. California will not let me register this 400 Burgman. It is a 49 state only bike.

General Comments:

Excellent 400cc single automatic scooter. I have owned 20 bikes over 40 yrs of riding. This Burgman 400 is the best 400cc bike ever. Plenty fast on the freeway or zero to 40 mph!. Will go 75 mph easily.

Never overheats, wind screen is excellent. Can't say enough about this practical 400 cc bike. You could ride it LA to NY easily with no fear of breakdown.

Craig Wilson Los Angeles seat is bigger than a gold wing seat! Very comfortable. Under seat storage is huge. Will hold 2 gallons of milk plus food for 2. You can also bungee cord an elephant on the side handles of bike!

2007 Suzuki Burgman 400

Summary:

This machine is a flawless gem. I will buy another in a heartbeat

Faults:

Bolt on end of handle grip fell off. Dealer charged me 18 dollars to put a little lock tight on it; still fell off and it's lost.

General Comments:

I'm a Honda man, but Honda doesn't make a 400, so they lost a sale, but I have no regrets at all.

2007 Suzuki Burgman 400

Summary:

Enjoyable to ride in the city, and on trips just awesome

Faults:

Excellent; runs like a champ.

General Comments:

The Suzuki Burgman 400 has great style, but most impressive is it rides smooth and handles the roads easily.

I have driven the Burgman on a mix of highways and back roads, and only encountered problems in very windy conditions, or when around big trucks, like tractor trailers.

I have also encountered this same condition when riding an 850. Normal in my opinion.

The Burgman cruses country roads like it was born to do so. It takes the bumps and glides around corners and curves with ease.

When Suzuki designed this machine, they made the perfect mix of scooter and motorcycle.

At a recent scooter rally I tried many of the other super scoots. The Burgman had the most leg room, and was more comfortable.

The only draw back is after riding for several hours, the seat is a bit stiff.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention 57 - 61 mpg avg.

I put a set of seat beads on my Burger, and it really helps on long rides. Wal-Mart, 7.90. Rode over 800 miles last year, no sore butt :-)

JFYI I bought a bicycle trailer to pull behind my Burger 400. It weighs 22 1/2 lbs. Light, I know. 57 inches long, 27.6 wide, 19.2 in height. Repacked the bearing grease with high speed lube. The Burger has 2 triangle shaped metal pieces on both sides, at the rear of the scoot. This one on the left is how I hooked up the hitch. I did put lights on it. This will carry all my camping equipment, 9x10 tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, 2 burner propane cook stove, cook ware, small cooler, propane cylinder, blankets, pillow.

Was worried about the wheels, but I pulled it over 500 miles and at speeds up to 60-70 mph. It does not wobble, and you cannot tell it's behind you. These have no title, and they are small and no plates required. 95.00 with free shipping. I contacted the manufacturer and they do not recommend this for scooter use. I done a lot of research and seen many behind scooters, YouTube etc. I'm going on a long trip this spring, and it's going with me, a very nice trailer for 95.00. Check it out, here's the link:
