Well some good news, yesterday had a phone call to say the Burgman has arrived. So today we went to have a look, she looks stunning in Fibrion Gray. Took me some time to think what colour to have, I work for the ambulance service so didn’t want white, I see enough white vehicles every day. Every time I looked at black photos of the bike it just looked so dark, all one colour, so went for the Gray and must say I am glad I did. The two colours contrast each other well. I have nothing against the other colours, just my personal choice. So there she was in the dealers with zero miles on and looking smart. Picking it up tomorrow afternoon so will try and post some pictures over the weekend.

Now all I have to do is get to sleep tonight lol

Is that the matt grey, that's the nicest colour

oohh cant wait, they say its a touch lighter than the old one, but with a bigger power dip arround 4K revs for emmissions

Great news, don't forget we like pictures.

Hope the weather keeps for you. Enjoy your ride home.

Hi Again

We picked up the new Burgman today and I have to say she is really nice, the colour suits her very well. I was a bit worried because you can see as many pictures as you like but until you see it in the flesh you are never too sure. I can say though it goes very well and was a pleasure to ride. She is parked in the garage now and I have to keep pinching myself just to make sure I’m not dreaming.

I have been trying all evening to attach/insert the pictures I took without any luck. So here is a link to the online gallery.

Just click on the big picture and you will see a little box appear in the top left of the picture, with four little arrows in side. Click on this and it will load a slideshow in full screen format.

I hope you enjoy them

Nice pics...looks less lardy than prev version

Lovely looking machine, enjoy.

Great pictures, 1st time seeing the 2013 Burger and i do like it.

Nice pics and the new matt grey suits it. Mine is the oort Grey and if changing then a colour change would be good but it looks good. I'm glad to see that Suzuki at the factory have rotated the throttle heat grip so that the cable is near the top and the heat is on the palm as they are not fully 360° heat. Originally the cable entry was to the bottom and the heat was only on the fingers. I reported this to them via email and a road show as I had to rotate mine manually so it was effective on the palm. Keep an eye on the blue wing mirror switch, they tend to stick after a while, I had whole cluster replaced under warranty. It was not just dirt so hopefully they 'may' have re designed the internals of the switch?
My local dealer does not know when they are getting one in stock, but there is a test road show at Tillstons in Stockton next Saturday, so I may take a trip down to check out mainly the rear seat width and 10mm footrest increase for my wife. For my 2011 model, I have just ordered the Tandem steps for the passenger, it raises it 2".
