Dave… Enjoyed your artical and video very much… Thank you! By buying my 650 Exec 2 weeks gao, I seem to have joined a whole bunch of kindred spirits! My current “big” ride is a GL1800, which I just had “triked” (CSC) because my old “Piper Cub” landing-gear just wasn’t up to landing it anymore, but now I can’t carve canyons with it anymore… Bummer! Hence the Burgie! I can’t believe this bike… manners like a scooter, but with the heart and soul of a sport-tourer! And this is the first bike in many years (50+ years in the saddle) that actually calls to me from the garage and says “Hey, let’s go for a ride!” Cheers… Gordon P. S. I like your trunk and windshield… can you tell me where they came from?

Hi Dave,
Just enjoyed your post on the Burgman 650 cc,for a maxi scooter -all can say is it’s great!!
In the Great Britain where i live there are many Burgman’s about,but mostly 400’s.

I myself been riding for about 40 years or so,then progressed onto scooters in March 2004,with a Honda Dylan 125cc,next a Malaguti Phantom 125cc,then in April 2008,i went for a Hyosung MS3 125cc also very good all round(it’s made in South Korea.But looking for a little more overall pulling power etc i changed to a Hyosung MS3 250cc,my present two wheel transport.(I do not have a car.)
Regards—Richard..

Hello Dave-

I enjoyed your ride video to breakfast and noticed some snazzy mirrors on your burgman; can you tell me where you purchase them?

Regards,

Bob,
Thanks for taking the time and reading my article. In answer to your question,

“I would like to know what type of camera equipment you use on your helmet to do you clips???? I would enjoy getting a camera like that.”

Here is a video clip I put on You Tube that shows the set up.

You may be able to find a used Kodak V570 on eBay.

Hope this helps you. Good luck and ride safe.

Hi Dave,

I have been riding for a little over 48 years now, and also have a 2005 Harley Road King I bought new. I have also always had a smaller bike and or scooter for around town driving. At the 1st part of 2008 I traded in my Honda Helix for a new Burgman 400 and loved from day one. But I did miss to power on the open road, sooooo, a few months later I traded in the 400 Burgman for a new 2007 Burgman 650 Ext. All I could say the 1st time I road it, was WOW!
This time of year here in the Phoenix area the temps are around 105 to 115 so I do most of my riding at night, and so far the Harley has been kept silent in my storage building. I ride it once in a while, but for everyday riding I do prefer riding the Burgman…Please don’t tell anyone I said that…..Ha
I would like to know what type of camera equipment you use on your helmet to do you clips???? I would enjoy getting a camera like that.

All my riding buddies use to make fun of my Burgman until I let them ride it, now they don’t. I will ride most anything on two wheels and have over the years, but I can say the Burgman is by far the best Motorcycle/Scooter I have ever had!!!!

Thanks,

Great job on the article Dave! Scooters are a hot item these days, and the Burgman fits in a class of it’s own in the ever growing and demanding scooter market. Pulling out into traffic with confidence that what you’ve got behind the throttle will get with the flow in a jiffy is a HUGE plus side to the Burgman as compared to the smaller scoots. I see most scooters as simple urban transportation, but the Burgman disguises itself as a Interstate tourer with all of the storage capacity and accessory options that are available.

I have been impressed with your bike choice (notice for you brother: I didn’t say scooter). Have fun with it.
