Back on the 650 Exec

I picked it up on Saturday in all its shiny blackness. It has some wind deflector things on the side and I had my Garmin 590 satnav fitted properly. It immediately felt like a toy after the Triumph Trophy.

After the ride home (25 miles) I was overjoyed with the ease of mobility compared to said Triumph. It is just so easy to ride, and a lot more fun than the sanitised Triumph. They seem to have completely removed the suspension on this model though and the wind deflectors just don't do anything. Still, the joy of improved control and management in 30 limits, the ability to move the bike around and the extra mpg's will help. It no longer feels like a toy, but it still feels very small after the Triumph. I couldn't fit the old Suzuki topbox as they have altered the bolts and spacers (from the 2012 model) such that if fitted, the box would be about 11/2 inches too high with a huge gap behind the seat and above the rear end. More cost.

I did 300 miles today to warm it up a bit. Some twisties and some motorway to balance the bedding in process. Absolutely crackin' fun, especially the twisty bits. This model seems easier in the corners to me but it could just be the lighter weight and additional manoeuvrability of the scoot. Of course, keeping the revs below 4000 is a pain but only one more journey and the 600 miles is done.

I like it more than I did before and I hope to keep this one for a bit. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well done on your new bike, photos please when you get the chance
There seems to be some tasty deals on these at the moment, a great scooter. I tried the old model a couple of years ago and was impressed with that one, but some of the complaints about the old model apparently have been addressed. When my bones get more creaky I could well be looking at one of these.

Great Wuffstuff Good to here your comments on your new bike. My New White Burgman 650 was delivered out to me yesterday by the dealer, I have only moved it into my garage for now, I was planning a ride out on it today, but the weather here is miserable, so will have to wait another day till the rain stops. Itching to get out on it.

Will
