new burgmans??

[charles1976]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone had any idea if or when suzuki may update the burgman range, with sym and piaggio introducing new bikes recently!! I am in the market for either a 400cc or 650cc.

Thanks all!

macamxthe1st rang Suzuki CS and was told the new 650 was in the pipe but nothing on the 400

Suzuki execs told french journalists that they were working on both at the moment.

I don't think any details have been released, at least I haven't seen anything more solid than that

Several rumours that it will/will not happen in equal measure

in that case,,, i will have to decide between a burgman 650 and honda fjs 600.... any suggestions.....>>

Ride both and decide for yourself, there's no other way.

Plenty of owners will advise their choice, but we're all different, I know why I choose the B650 and others know why they choose the Silverwing, but you'll have to decide for yourself on this one. I'm pretty confident that once you've ridden both you'll have a personal preference, as that's how it's worked for anyone else who's ever asked.

ok i will do that, in what way are they two different scooters, pardon my ignorance... thanks

Somone once said a B650 was a motorcycle trying to be a scooter, a silverwing a scooter trying to be a motorcycle! Id kind of agree, the B650 is however very very heavy.

I test rode and liked the Honda but bought the Burgman due to that it felt better for me, but i do sometimes with i bought the DN-01 just to have something that was different.

Im 6"1 and the Burgman has slightly more legroom than the Silverwing and the seat is about 1 and a half inches longer, well it seems to be, and feels better, The Burg is supposed to handle better in the twisties to, if your into that sort of thing
. Mirrors = 650 wins !

The Burger is better in the twisties than the Honda as i do like to use every inch of the rubber on my tyres.

Of course the huge difference is the price
