Awesome machine
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 13, 2012I have owned an 08 Burgman for over a year now. It has completely changed my outlook commuting to and from work. It is powerful, responsive, and simply a joy to ride. Maintenance is minimal and mileage is great. Backpack fits under the seat while I ride and 2 fullface helmets store there when ... parked. With the large Givi windshield and an Alaskan Leather seat cover, I commute in temperatures in the 20's and have complete comfort.

First Maxi-Scoot
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 30, 2009After all types of MC's and even a Vespa steel body over the last 34 years, I bought my 400 simply because it seemed like the best tool for the job of commuting in my area of South Florida. I bought sight unseen from a dealer in who had the phenomenally low price of 4798.00 for a left-over.
I ... cant vouch for reliability because I only have a few hundred miles on it, but from a ride standpoint, it has exceeded my expectations by a long shot. Quiet, smooth and launches itself from lights and stops surprisingly quickly all with 70 mpg averages for my riding/commute. Its more comfortable than any MC Ive owned, HD included. I can see putting 500 mile days on this bike with no problem if you are so inclined.
Im sure if people would not be so self conscious about the stigma of riding an "Old Man Scooter", people would be buying these in huge numbers !
Try one........Bring your cheque book !

Not Your Average Scooter
By (I am an Owner) on May 14, 2009I just purchased my B-Man Scooter last week. The handling is awesome and you cannot beat the storage space at all! If you Google "Suzuki Burgman" you can find plenty of accessories that are approved by Suzuki. I found a small windshield that gives the front an even sleeker look! I can't wait ... for this northern weather to break so I can truly enjoy the ride!

Black Beauty
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 27, 2009Well, we have a Burgman AN400, and it is relly fun to ride. My wife bought it last year and I have been the master of this puppy. I have left my Honda Shadow11 wanting. It has also overshadowed my GS500F except for gas tank size and range. Even riding my two motorcycles I have managed to put 400 ... miles on this baby. The first time I knew she was spacial, was when a big pick up truck sauntered in front of me without bothering to signal. Mirror check,neck twist, throttle and I zipped past the asttonished "good 'ol boy" at 90 MPH. Did that dang rice burning scooter just passed me? HA! I
I plan to go to a wedding in San Antonio Texas, from south of Richmond Virginia and with the price of gas and the comfort level, she is my weapon of choice. Iron Butt material! It is an awesome machine, buy a brace of them! I get upwards of 60 MPG!

I Love My Burgman !
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 01, 2008I am a middle aged woman who started riding a 2 wheeler about 2 years ago.I have been riding my Burgman for the past 1 and 1/2 years. I have over 12,000
miles on this baby. I rode from Calif.
up the coast to Canada with another rider who rode a Harley Road King.I was able to keep up ... just fine.My Burgman is easy,super comfortable,and agile to maneuver.I can ride with my legs stretched out or bend my legs back.I also ride a Honda Shadow 750cc motorcycle. But,I have to say my Burgman is more fun and comfortable to ride around town and long distance. I love my Burgman !

Overall the Suzuki Burgman 400 is very comfortable and affordable
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 30, 2008The Suzuki Burgman 400 is very comfortable and affordable to ride. We now have 1000 miles on our 2008 Burgman 400 and have had no issues, and average 57 MPG. The ride and performance is excellent. I do avoid the expressways, but large 5-lane roads are not an issue.
The OEM options ... could be better, for example a Radio would be nice.
