I have owned and operated a number of motorcycles and have enjoyed all of them for all their various features and capabilities. Both scooters and motorcycles. However, for me the Suzuki Burgman 400 checked all the boxes of what I needed. It is not too big nor too small. The seat height is low enough compared to other luxury scooters to give a comfortable ride. The speed is more than needed to keep up with highway traffic. The underseat storage is one of the most spacious I have ever seen. The handling is smooth and responsive. The bike is just fun and comfortable to ride hands down for me. It also has 2 front glove boxes that are not lockable but perfect for throwing items into and retrieving quickly when you arrive at your destination without having to either put them in your pocket or getting under the seat. The acceleration is great from a stop and exceeds that for most cars under normal driving conditions. Gas mileage is of course better than a car. Highly recommended.

I bought this scooter used at 9,000 miles and have been very impressed with it so far. I took it on a long 500 mile trip and got excellent gas mileage (74 mpg). Around in town I was getting around 54 mpg. It can easily cruise at 75 miles per hour or more and still get great gas mileage. It is very comfortable and stylish even when compared to newer motorcycles and scooters of 2012. Even when going up and down mountain passes in Oregon and Washington, it was fun and effortless.

This is an update to an earlier review. I'm appreciating my 2003 Burgman 650 more and more with every mile. It's comparatively the easiest to use and most agile motorcycle I've ever owned, and I've ridden plenty. 0 to 60 acceleration is better than 99% of the cars out there commuting.

This is an update to an earlier review. I'm appreciating my 2003 Burgman 650 more and more with every mile. It's comparatively the easiest to use and most agile motorcycle I've ever owned, and I've ridden plenty. 0 to 60 acceleration is better than 99% of the cars out there commuting. I just sold my 1997 Goldwing in favor of keeping this machine as my daily driver. I can't wait to see the 2007 models. I've never written more praising comments about any vehicle I've ever owned.

I am very pleased with value package of the Burgman 400. I have had it to 98mph. It gets light after about 85mph. I will upgrade the windshield for winter riding. No maintenance issues so far. I dont' like the low end hesitation but that is the big single sacrifice. 60mpg to 69mpg.... read more

At 13K and only new tires and oil changes no problems at all. Looked at the new 650 and now with the new larger wheels cannot fit. Darn. I ride with the local motorcycle club here on Base and keep up with all the Harleys, Honda's and whatever's. I am the only one with a "scooter" and roll with them at 65 75 mph no problem. We do many rides in Nebraska and Iowa open space and fast speeds and have a ball. Got a lot of wow's from the club members on the bike and being able to keep up with them and not hold them down on the rides. Only wish it did have an overdrive trans. That would be the kicker, 100 miles per gallon..... Sweet,,,,

I rode the 650 Burgman from San Diego to Death Valley and then to Las Vegas in 117 degree weather in one day, 550 plus miles, with my two other Burgman rider friends road from Temecula, CA to Reno, NV for an overnight trip. It has great comfort and power. We passed several Harley groups in steep grades on the I-395 near Yosemete. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a touring machine.

I bought the Burgman with 10,300 miles on it on June 4th. I now have 12,700 miles on it on July 27th. I love this scooter! It is fast, it is steady, it is reliable, and is pretty comfortable. I already had a GIVI windshield on it but tried the stock windshield with a laminar lip, I still got beat up a bit. This is truly the king of the scooters. I have changed the buttrest to become a backrest. It gives you about 3 more inches of leg room and gives good back support. Overall I'm getting 50 mpg in town for most of it. Gone a few short trips, 200, 300, & 110 miles. wasn't worn out too bad on any. The 650 does ride a bit rough, a little unforgiving on bigger road bumps. A Corbin seat might be nice, although you lose storage space under the seat.

My AN 650 has 4600 miles on it and my only real complaint to date is that the center stand is mounted too close to the rear of the scooter by perhaps 1/3 to 3/4 inch. While the placement may facilitate placing the bike on the center stand, it is more difficult to take it off and more difficult to rotate the front wheel while stationary for cleaning. Mine is an '04 model. Perhaps Suzuki corrected this for '05.
