Hello

Post by JohnMcK »

After owning all types of bike over the years I've just bought my first maxi, a Burgman 650 Exec and I love it. Glad I've come across the forum, seems like a really friendly place to chat bikes.
I'm fortunate to now live in southern Spain with my wife and we are looking forward to seeing the country with the comfort of our new bike. Can't wait!
Any other Brits out there living in Spain?

Stay safe 8-)

Thanks for the welcome. Spot on with the location, we are in the old Pueblo the home of the donkey taxi. Great location, great roads, stunning scenery, oh and sunshine. A riding paradise!

We spent a few hours in Mijas a couple of years ago, it is a beautiful area and spot on for enjoying the fantastic Burgman. I am sat at work looking out of the window at a miserable grey day and I am very envious of you! Disfrutar!

Hello and welcome. im thinking also about getting the burgman 650 exec. I would like if you let me know how you get on with it, although I don't think you would be using the the heated grips, nor the heated seat! ;-)

Thanks for the reply's.
Smugness, I'm not sure which is worse, Looking at the English weather through the work window or here looking out at 25c blue sky and sunshine knowing you could be away riding the mountain roads!

Skitzy, I've had the bike 2 weeks and it is over delivering all my expectations. Never thought I'd say that about a scooter!! I'll keep you posted.
