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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH3e89TL0YM You may be able to find a used Kodak V570 on eBay. Hope this helps you. Good luck and ride safe. Bob,

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!!!!

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. ike Great job on the article Dave!

I've had my Burgman 650 about two months now after having gotten tired of the whole "motorcycle" deal about eight years ago. For thirty years I owned everything from Bridgestones to Harleys (back in the AMF days no less), BMWs and a bunch of stuff in between. Then I discoverd the Burgman. I'm still shaking my head. I have never seen such a piece of engineering in my life for something that was barely even on the "radar" in the two wheel world. Everything in your post is spot on. Back in the day anyhting around 650cc would be about 350 or so pounds. I could not imagine a 650 moving over 500 lbs but man what a surprise. Ya gotta love that power button! This scooter thing has given me new lease on the two-wheel life. Just as you say in your blog everywhere you go someone walks up to you and wants to know what the heck you are riding. Happy motoring.
