By (I am an Owner) on Nov 13, 200924,000 on it now. Car parked til winter. My wife likes it.. not bikes.
Ridden for 42 years, 5 Bikes,4 BMW's,1 Suzuki. 2 Vespas.1 Lambretta.
The 650 Burg is the best of the rest. Handles better than the BM's that I had. Smooth,powerful,great weather protection,love the automatic. Infinite ... foot positions and seat moved forward works for me as I have the upright position of the Beemer. I can stow my Aerostich, Nolan and boots under the seat when I go watch a movie. Carries a couple of bags of groceries there too. Normal DIY is easy and I have 10K on the rear tire now with more to go. Try that on an RT! I just love to ride her! ZEN

loved it---until!!
By (I am an Enthusiast) on Nov 03, 2008yes, I loved it. comfort, handling, convenience. Reliability was the issue.
In the 4 plus years of ownership it has gone through headlights(9),ignition switches(3), wheel bearings(4) and the last was the bearing supporting the output saft coming from the motor to the input shaft of the transmission. ...
Repairing this requires costs exceding the current value of the machine!!
Suzuki was conacted but offered no assistance. Investigating further, it appears that there have been a number of similar failures world wide. I now have a garage full of burgman parts. LET THE BUYER BEWARE.
