Three Very Special Burgman Christmas Shirts. You Know You Want One.

guestpost — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:43:07 +0000

Whew. I never realized how difficult it would be to bring these three special 2008 Burgman shirts to you. The other day when I went to put these up for you I wound up having terrible site problems and it took longer than expected to get everything back to normal.

Anyway, I figured it is that time of the year for a little Burgman holiday joy and I hope these three new shirts make you smile as much as I did when Danny showed them to me.

The Automobile Association in the UK Goes With the Suzuki Burgman 650

Steve Rhode — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 01:19:49 +0000

Suzuki Burgman 650 scooters will be hitting the streets of Birmingham and Manchester England this month, as the AA take on a fleet of Burgmans as part of their rapid response two-wheel fleet.

With motorcycles making a return to the AA fleet for the first time since the mid-nineties, the Burgmans inclusion will be a welcome addition, helping to cut response times in city areas. With six Burgman 650s expected to go into Birmingham, four into Manchester and six in London, the AA Burgman fleet will be standard with the exception of a top-box, Garmin Zumo Sat Nav and the AA safety beacons and graphics.

Alan Garret of supplying dealer Motts motorcycles in Basingstoke commented, “We are very happy to assist the AA in their return to bike use. As we all know, motorcycles offer a great solution to beating congestion, and so it’s great to see a well-known organisation maximise the potential of two-wheels again.”

Look out for the Burgman AA machines on the roads of Birmingham and Manchester from 29th and 31st of July 2008.

Suzuki Burgman Scooter Actual Dealer Cost

Steve Rhode — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:35:12 +0000

When preparing to buy a new Suzuki Burgman scooter the more information you can go into the dealership with, the better deal you are going to get.

I just stumbled across this resource and wish I had discovered this before I bought my recent Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive.

I have not used this service myself but knowing what the dealer actual cost is on the Burgman scooter you are planning to buy can be a very valuable resource.

Check it our for yourself before you buy you next new Suzuki Burgman scooter and let me know how much money you save off MSRP.
