2009 Suzuki Burgman 400

Best gas mileage of the 400cc touring scooters. Best storage (62 liters). Extremely comfortable. Excellent wind screen and overall wind protection. Fine, zippy performance: Handles very well, Cruises easily at 65-70 mph. Good options include heated grips and hand protectors.

I can only say that the Burgman is one great bike. I have had mine now for 2 year's and I just love it. It is great on gas and on the road it is just great. I drive almost 16miles to an from work each day Monday-Friday. And that is what I use. I own a fullsize pickup and I only use it when the weather ... is bad. Other than that I am on the bike. Love the freedom. One great product.

I have owned burgman for last 3 years and I'm very happy with it.

I live in Lonon and commute to work every day and it's great. I need a rear brake caliper for it can anybody help. My email address is basilio.carollo@yahoo.co.uk your help will be appreciated.

Hello. I have a new Burgman 400 2009. 300Km left for the braking period. I love how the scooter handle well in curves and over all, good suspension, well made BUT! Poor acceleration when stop and go, poor acceleration at Cruising speed. I bought that scooter because my friend has a 2006 one and his ... Burgman start faster. And when cruising and accelerating he is loosing me! My scooter has 15cc more in comparison of 2006 to new model??? My girl friend has a Kymco 2007 250cc and easily beat me on start any time. a friend of mine have a Vespa 300 GTS and beat me very very easily on start and at cruising pass in front of me ... :( why Suzuki would make a new Burgman less powerful Very disappointed. I do like better the new look of the Burgman but what a shame for the actual performance.

I bought it in September and after the 500 mile fluid changes there was a noticable issur between 3200-3800 RPM's A very hard bucking like bad fuel but before and after it runs like a scalded dog. My dealer has made many attempts to stop it and for about 500 miles after they work on it the issue ... is gone. Has anyone else had this problem. I'm tired of fighting and am wondering if this is just a normal thing for the bike. I need comformation there is a problem if anyone else has had this or if it is NORMAL. Any input is welcome. California headquarter has been ZERO HELP!!! It cost money to call them and no help has come.

I have a 2008 model Burgman 400. It worked perfectly well until November 09 when it was 5 months old. At this point (1800 miles on the clock), it started to Judder at low speeds.

The problem is that Suzuki decided to fit different clutches to the 2008 models. These clutches are too ... light and the juddering is caused by the rollers disengaging. My dealers said the bike was OK to ride, and so did Suzuki, but eventually the clutch seized completely. My bike has been in the dealer's workshop for 4 weeks because Suzuki haven't sent the parts out. The aftersales care demonstrated by Suzuki and the dealer is disgraceful. I won't buy another Suzuki.

It does have one other fault. It has a lousy turning circle, and is really tricky to get round tight turns.

I owned a 400 then moved to the Kymco Xciting (500cc). I missed the lightness and manoeverability of the 400 and have returned to it.

My disapointment is total; this is not the Burgman I had ten years ago. The throttle needs to be turned 3cm before anything happens and at slow speeds it is ... disgracefully unmanoevearable. With both my previous Burgman and Xciting I could negotiate two narrow forty five degree turns into my backyard, with this bike I have difficulty in walking it there. You go from nothing to a far too sharp take-off. The juddering at 400revs is disgraceful. This Burgman is not fit for purpose. the dealer says that there is nothing wrong with it and I've written to Suzuki to see if I have purchased a bad one.

I love my Bergman 400. I recommend this bike for the person who wants the max for the money. The bike handles well on the streets and highway. If you are (were) a beginner like myself; this is the perfect bike. Although the bike is a lightweight; the Bergman is no joke-just try picking up a 475lb ... gorilla, but the Bergman 400 also showed resiliency with a passenger (wife) on backseat. This will be her bike eventually-when she learns how to ride. The bike's front throttle does seem rattle some in the 4000 rpm range, but I had it checked and all the techs tell me that it's a normal occurrence because of the one cylinder engine is doing all the work. I've put all my beginning and mediocre riding including my learning curves behind me to approx 1300 miles. Now I have all my best riding ahead of me. As a result of my initial 600 mile service, my Bergman performs ever the more-better with quicker acceleration and sharper response. My next service will be at 4000 miles. I haven't even broken it in yet. I'm still keeping my eye on that 650.

I use the scooter to do a 40-50 mile round trip to work on a daily basis in London. This scooter is just the job. Public transport here is very expensive and parking is not a problem on two wheels. I have only one slight issue in that the bike judders a bit at around 4000 revs at times. MPG whise ... im getting 12-13 miles per litre and in terms of storage, this bike is perfect. I take a laptop bag and my gym gear and on occassion I may need extra footwear. With 61 litres under the seat and a top box which you can easily fit yourself its perfect. I would highly recommend this scooter.

Being the proud owner of burgman 400 (Blue). I can only say good things about it. Here in Portugal we call it a Maxi scooter not a touring scooter. Anyway it's an amazing scooter from stand still to road or city driving. In the past 3 weeks I've done a few trips 900km on the first, 700km on the second. ... With all kind's of weather and roads. In between it's been always ready to drive me to work and back, mostly on freeway.

The best points are, confort, economy, very easy to drive, decent power for take off, stability, and aerodynamic protection, last but not the least, an amazing cargo capacity. I've bought a top case, but to tell the truth never needed it. 'cause the lugage compartments are huge for a 2 wheels vehicle. Engine is also amazing for a mono 400. The riding position can go from a normal siting position to a low ride wich is great for highway.

In the city a very good take off speed and low center of gravity, contribute to a nice scooter and very economic.

Sorry for my bad english. But You folks can get the idea.
