Hahaha my wife would disagree! As for the Burgman it seems to fit the bill, thanks for the welcome.

Welcome, nice looking Burger, depending on your height you may benefit from a vario deflector on the OEM screen.

Do you plan to DIY service it's not difficult once you're used to the plastics removal.

Thanks for the welcome, I am 6' tall... I find the screen to be ok? I also ride BMW R1200gs which has a small screen but I will look into the vario deflector. I plan on DIY servicing, that is a big part of ownership for me. It has had a recent service so I have give it a wipe over with a oily rag, checked the levels, blew the tyres up and replaced a few plastic push clip/rivets. I will ride it until its MOT and give it a good service then.

Welcome. You may also want consider the Givi Airflow screen for your Burger. It’s the best bit of kit I’ve fitted to mine and it’s also relatively low cost. A K&N air filter on the 400 makes a difference too. Other than that just ride and enjoy the benefits, stay safe.
