Hello muppets
Not wishing to incur your wrath, I begrudgingly introduce myself- recent new owner of Burgman 650, just because I still like poodling about on two wheels, and don't feel comfortable on a "proper" bike anymore. I'm still finding out about the virtues of a big scoot, and also still considering a goldwing. What gives with no-one waving anymore?- are we not all fellow bikers, sharing the same excitement and risks? Hello to everyone. Pip. (Not very original, eh!)

Re: Hello muppets
Welcome! That's the best maxi scooter!
To give you an idea, I'm more of a Harley kind of rider however I'm my case, I'd need time to enjoy it. Power wise I think the 650 is not the best but close one, however in comfort and equipment is the best. I'd love a GW as well but couldn't take to London e.g something I do pretty often

Re: Hello muppets
Welcome. I've too changed from motorbikes to scooters and have only one regret that being, as you say ,the lack of nods and waves from other riders. I always nod or wave to everyone on two wheels scooterist or biker. Always had a response when I was on my motorbike but seldom do now I'm on a scooter. Don't know why but it certainly will not stop me. Just makes a response even better when it happens. Enjoy your scooter and I look forward to seeing you on a ride out .

Re: Hello muppets
Hello and welcome Pip. Shame about the lack of recognition from most bikers. However I was in the petrol station filling up and got a nod from a "Hells Angel" he left before me but caught up with him after about 10 miles (on the M61) I passed him as he was pootling along looked in my mirrors and saw he was coming after me, I thought here we go anyway he just pulled in front and we rode in formation for a while but I was meeting someone at Glasson Dock so had to make some progress pulled out to overtake him and he gave me a thumbs up and a big smile! so not all bikers are ignorant.
