Exhilarating...
For generations of riders, the Burgman has redefined the two-wheel luxury scooter experience. It brought performance and comfort into a market once unimaginable. For 2014, the Burgman 650 ABS continues to improve with new styling matched with unbeatable performance.
Notable changes to the Burgman 650 ABS include refinements in the transmission setting and a reduction of mechanical losses contribute to a boost in fuel economy by 15%* compared to the previous model in Drive Mode. Drive Mode heightens efficiency at normal road speeds and gives smooth, linear, almost shock-free power delivery for easy riding. Power Mode gives more punch when you twist the throttle. And Manual Mode lets you thumb-toggle between six preset gear ratios for a unique feeling of control. The SECVT’s updated design includes new clutch plates that cause 35% less drag.
You can feel the nimbleness and abundance of power in your hand. It is simply exhilarating! With refinements in the transmission setting that easily allows you to downshift, accelerate, and maneuver around traffic and through every road, there’s no better time than to hop on the Burgman 650 ABS than today!

Just not my cup of tea. Uncool. To bulky to be a cool scooter (I like the small Vespa style and that sort for a scooter.)

Reading the stats I like it and then you look at it and are frightened. Uncool. That and a 11k price for a scooter.

Who exactly buys these scooters?
The thing costs a fortune!
I always think of a scooter as a little affordable inexpensive vehicle.
Something like "motorcycle lite".
Now we have luxury scooters. That's like expensive hot dogs.
What's the point?

It's a touring scooter! Don't you get it?
Awesome. I love Vespa but I wouldn't take one on the highway.
Bet it's really comfy.

I never buy them new so I never really look at the price....Vespa, now those are expensive!

I have to give it a Cool for what it is. The Burgman has commanded the top end of the luxury maxi-scooter market for a while. I see ten Burgmans around for every Honda Silverwing.
Well-heeled older guys who want something tour-able with a lower center of gravity and aren't up for the bulk and expense of a Goldwing.Flipper wrote:Who exactly buys these scooters?
