looking cool, cant see how the abs system works as cant see a sensor on front brake disk centres

It's on t'other side.

Spaceprobe...if you get one, I'm gonna have to do the same... I'm loving my Burgman but now you've made me get itchy feet about this 600i.

It looks as someone sneaked into Suzuki's design office and nicked a draft of what a restyled burger might look like!

Quite fancy either the Sport or the black standard bike. I can't wait to see one in the flesh though and have a wander through the owners manual. Looking good so far! l like and it's mostly your fault because of your reports on how good your 400 is!

You are not wrong Grumpy. The Maxsym, both the 400i and the 600i are very much like the new 400 Burgman za models in many ways. Except in reality, the Sym is a bit more modern and some may say, even more robust. Not that there is anything wrong with the Burgman of course. But for example, the Maxsyms have proper dual yoke front forks just like a motorcycle, for maximum strength, which may explain it's excellent handling at high speed two up. The whole bike felt really taught on my test ride (on the 400i). The bikes have some nice touches too over and above the Burgman eg. adjustable screen, as spaceprobe found out. The engine itself is pretty much state of the art in many ways too. I like also the dual rear shocks, which from the engineering point of view is a better way of controlling a swinging mass, being far away from the fulcrum. Yes, that's contrary to popular belief, but ask any engineer. It's only due to clever trickery that single shock rising rate has taken over, and it does have it's merits too. So all in all, I'm still impressed with it and it felt just like my Burgman in so many ways (the 400). But that 600i, I'm waiting now with baited breath. It's only just a bit heavier than it's lil sister, and my Burgman. Can't be bad. We'll see!

Childish excitement and expense on the horizon

Shouldn't be too much different to the 600 one?
