best choice large CC scooter on the market – Bought this bike in 2007 and ride it every day. Has never let me down. Love the great weather protection and huge underseat storage. Can fit 2 helmets and a few clothes or lots of shopping including a 30 pack of soft drink. It mightn't look as funky cool as a harley davidson but I had one of them too and preferred riding this. Practical, smooth, cheap to run. Plastic always looks good. Storage, weather protection, ease of use has a large body so isn't the best for lane splitting but I do it anyway by pulling the mirrors in

Follow-up - Mine is a 650 non-executive 2003 model. At around 26k, it started making (referred to in burgmanusa as) a dieseling noise. This is due to a design flaw in something to do with the CVT. Suzuki Australia declares there is no flaw but Burgmans from 2005 onwards do not have the same parts nor, surprisingly, the same issue. Suzuki wanted to charge me (estimated) $2000 to pull the bike apart, even though they had no idea what they were looking for - just some ambiguous blah about the CVT about to expire ... at any moment. They didn't even have the tools on hand to open it up and would have to order them in. After researching Burgmanusa myself i found the dieseling description and explanation. Suzuki rejected what is already known in the USA and refused me any warranty if I didn't go ahead with their quoted work. The bike now has over 36k on the clock and the noise is just there. Makes no difference to the operation at all and the bike hasn't missed a beat.___The worst part about Burgman ownership in Sydney is that no Suzuki mechanics seem to know anything about, or know how to work on, them.
