2006 Suzuki Burgman 400 Scooter reviews

I'm on my second 650. I bought both used with low miles. I put about 35K on two of them. I use it as a touring bike. I've visited every state east of Mississippi. It's reliable and handles really well. There is no heat from the engine in stop and go traffic and no vibration at 75 mph. The under seat storage is remarkable. On one trip I carried under the seat a tent for two, a sleeping bag, air mattress and a pillow. I rode it to the summit of Pikes Peak. Show less

Being 6'4I had limited choices about bikes. I wanted the looks of a sport bike, but mileage of a scooter. I got both with the Burgman. I don't have a problem with the knee proximity of the dash either. My only other choice was a Honda Silver Wing - not a bad bike either, but glad I got the Burgman. It's a good fit, and has surprised every one of my friends that have ridden it. Show less

I have 5 months and 6000 miles since this bike was new. I traded in a V-Star 1100 Classic. My Classic was a weekend ride, and even that was becoming rare. I was losing interest after only a couple of thousand miles. Although the same weight, the Burgman rides smoother on the freeway cracks, doesn't wander on the rain strips, flips through the twisties easier and has turned into my daily 50 mile commuter. Even after five days of commuting, I love to go out on the weekend and just buzz around into the mountains. I chose 4 stars on comfort because the original windshield was a little low, but the swap out was easy. I do my own maintenance now. It has been an added pleasure. Who knew I was paying the service guys to have fun with my other bikes? Show less

I'm 57 and on my 8th cycle. My favorite used to be my Goldwing but at a lower price this Suzuki 650cc Burgman Executive is as smooth, comfortable and fun to ride. The automatic or manual shift mode is as smooth as glass and the acceleration is remarkable. Even my Harley friends are astounded. The ABS brakes stop on a dime and the under seat storage will not only store two helmets but some groceries too. I average over 50mpg and after riding 130 miles I'm as fresh as when I started. Hats off to Suzuki for great engineering, comfort, style and value. Drive it once and you will be hooked. Show less

This is my first 2 wheeled machine. I am a big guy and it pulls me faster than someone half my weight on most cruisers. The utility of this machine is great. With the huge trunk you can fill up a whole basket of stuff at the grocery store to take home. The service is a little expensive, but as long as it keeps running like a top, it is worth it. 4650 miles so far. I have cruised on highways at 80+mph with plenty more throttle to go. It is stable, quick and it stops really well. I could care less about the looks from people on traditional motorcycles. I could probably leave most of them in the dust with my scooter. Show less

THIS SCOOTER IS AN EXCEPTIONAL RIDE, AND WITH THE GAS MILAGE IT GETS AT THE PRICE PER GALLON FREEDOM IS HERE AGAIN. WOULD LIKE THE WINDSHIELD TO BE A LITTLE TALLER AND A LARGER CAPACITY FUEL TANK WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL PLUS. Show less

Handling, weight distribution, maintenance and oomph are there. Sold my Helix and a HD FXDS Conv to buy this absolutely wonderful machine. I recommend it without hesitation. don't believe those stories about high maintenance. I have service at regular intervals and it isn't more expensive than other bikes (HD's are very expensive to properly maintain) and with today's technology it's almost impossible to work on a bike w/o proper tools & expertise. The AN400 can do it all. Show less

Great Blue Beast!! Have had 1yr. This is my first bike for 33 yrs and it is a good performing 2wheel and has excellent gas mileage. Great to start on and won't be the last bike I buy!! Have had great time on this Burgman 400. Has kept up with the bad boys (Harley, Gold W, etc) on rallies. Most surprised by the handling, look and speed. The service and sales at my dealership is top notch and friendly. Show less

I love my blue scooter. I have driven from Mass to VT to NH, all in one day. It has a comfortable ride, is easy to ride, stylish, and I've gotten great service at the dealership. Only problem: lack of good weather in the winter time and I wish there was a scooter club in the area to ride with on longer trips. Show less

First of all, I am certainlly a mans man. I am married (to a women!) and I have no problem riding this machine. I love this machine; it has it all. What I am mostly impressed with is the handling. I am a former sportbike owner (rc51)etc. and this thing corners. It is balanced to perfection. I seem to scrape the center stand a lot but thats no biggy. Aside from the obvious perks of the burgie, storage, looks, comfort and fun, there is much more that can only be experienced by riding one. Everyone has asked me what does it ride like? I could never really explain it, other than leaving a silly grin on my face. I have finally figured out how to compare the ride. It is like riding a jet ski on wheels. Show less
