Burgman 650, There is no substitute!

I've been riding motorcycles since the age of 15. I'm 59 and a half, now. I've ridden every bike you can think of, cruzers, bullet bikes and touring bikes. Of all the bikes I've owned, the Burgman 650 takes top billing. It's fast, reliable, manuverable and has excellent braking. It's a cross be...tween a scooter, cruzer, tourer, and bullet bike. It can do over 100 mph with ease and is extremely stable on the highway, in high wind. Storage is other worldly, as motorcycles go. My wife and I have a Burgman apiece and are able to ride all day without a paralyzed crotch or hands. Let position is very important with the Burgman, as it's very ergonomic. As for the wind, it completely blocks off wind, rain, dirt and bugs. The seat is very comfortable and conducive to long rides. Riding in a sudden rainstorm? No problem, as the faring protects your entire body. You'll get wet, but not soaked. This bike is more than a scooter or a motorcycle. Instead, it's in a whole new league. In my opinian, there isn't a better all around vehicle on two wheels. Simplicity, power and safety, all wrapped up in one neat package at an excellent price. Read Full Review

Surprise!

I am 63 years old and have had more bikes that my years. My bikes included at least 6 Gold Wings.



I purchased my 650 to flip and make a few bucks on, but when I got on it, I was in for the surprise of my life. Very comfortable seating, easy to handle, heavy enough to be road worthy, very fast ...acceleration. After spending two weeks deliberating about it, I sold my Gold Wing.

Love this bike! Read Full Review

Cool Quiet and Comfortable

Like the other Burgman 650 owners, I love this maxi-scooter. It is more of a motorcycle with a step thru frame and automatic transmission.



Unlike a typical scooter, the motor is not mounted on the swing arm and there is no CVT belt drive.



Since I live in Texas, the most important feature fo...r me is the way that the design diverts engine heat away from the driver.

Rear Wheel Defect for 2006 Suzuki Burgman 650

The rear wheel bearings for the 2006 Suzuki Burgman 650 has one bearing and is sealed on only one side. This is a very cheap and unreliable design.

I've put 43000 miles on my 2006 Suzuki Burgman 650 and had gone thru 2 sets of rear wheel bearings already. As a matter-of-fact, when they were putti...ng in the 2nd set of bearings today, they called me and said that the inner part of the wheel had been eaten away on one side enough to where the new bearing is now loose and therefore the whole dang wheel needs to be replaced.
Now Suzuki has gone to a new supplier for the part and it's sealed on both sides. Too little too late, because they saved themselves 25 cents in manufacturing cost the customer loses $700.
I don't recommend Suzuki at all. They cut too many corners and use cheap parts. Read Full Review
