    I have 15,000 miles on my Burgman with no problems. I have a trailer hitch and pull small trailer with no problems. I pulled glove box cover and drilled to hole on left side of key switch. I then installed two radio shack cigarett lighter plugs to plug in GPS and heated gloves. At 14,000 miles I went to Dark Side and mounted a car tire on back and it works great. went on 1,000 mile trip to Arkansas and it took the corners like it was on a rail. This tire will get 20,000 to 30,000 miles on it. Check on Dark Side 650 Burgman site. I have three other bikes and ride the Burgman the most. Dennis

    I own a 2009 Burgman 650 and a 2006 Burgman 650. The only difference in the ride is that the 2009 has slightly harder engine breaking and it doesn't take bumps and pot holes a well as the 2006, maybe it's due to the fact that the 2009 is newer and not yet broken in, and it does weighs 50 lbs more than the 2006 model.

    I would like to caution Burgman 650 riders: When you back off the throttle quickly from the Power mode, be careful when the road surface is wet. The engine breaking is so strong in ...

    I have now done 10,000 miles of highway commuting from my home in Berkshire to my place of work in Wast London UK.
    Commuting on this bike is not only great fun, but its ease of manouvering through traffic makes this bike one of the best ever. Its so practical with all the storage space and I am well protected from the elements in in the most severe weather conditions well done Suzuki

    The Suzuki Burgman 650 is Fantastic! I cant say enough good things about this bike! I have owned many bikes, including Harley Davidson and I can say this bike does not fatigue the rider. It eats up the miles, and with no problems in Mechanical or ergonomics. I changed the windshield, added a givi case and changed the hand grips. I have logged more than 20,000 trouble free km. Great memories on this bike. This is arguably the best all around commuter on the market today.

    I would recomend this Suzuki Burgman 650 scooter at the top of the tree for any commuting / touring. I have covered 93000 on my blue one and 66000 on my silver one. The only downfall with these 650 burgmans is the belt drive at 50000 miles. I suspect they never get looked at in the maintence schedule as it's an engine out job just to inspect it let alone replace it.

    Fantastic all around. I have owned Hondas, Yamahas, and Harley Davidson Motorcycles. The Suzuki Burgman 650 is by far the most useful of the bunch, lots of fun to ride and extremely reliable. I only wished it would have bigger wheels, but the ones on the bike are alright. I have upgraded my bike with a Givi windshield, trunk and better hand grips and I must say I love it! I have taken my Burgman on long trips of longer than 8 hrs on the saddle far into the mountains and had better ac ...

    Hi I live in Australia and have not had the Suzuki Burgman 650 ex scooter long enough to tell much about reliability,only 3000klm on the clock, but the rest of the machine looks and go's great I also have a cruiser which sounds better, but thats it. The burgman is much more forgiving on bends, you can tell it has a low centre of gravity, and takes bumps better, and we have plenty of them in Australia. it is much easier to handle at low speeds than my cruiser. The storage is good and two up the m ...

    Have had this Suzuki Burgman 650 for 6 years now, 30k miles, with very mixed feelings. It was one of the early ones, so Suzuki may have improved the quality and sorted out some problems by now, but mine had to be collected three times for warranty work. Front and rear calipers had to be replaced after 5 years, both wheel bearings (one on warranty), several other bits and pieces, so not happy about build quality. It has just started to use a bit of oil. Service intervals 3750 miles, quite expensi ...

    My Burgman 650 executive is a joy to ride over long or short distances. It obviously lacks the out and out performance of my previous ST110, ST1300 and GL1800 Gold Wing but has more than enough grunt for long distance touring, and, if you are so inclined, will beat more sporting bikes away from the lights in auto mode. The luggage capacity for solo touring with a waterproof duffle bag, or similar, on the pillion seat and the large under seat area (two full face helmets plus) is sufficient for a ...

    The Suzuki Burgman 650 is Smooth, fast, excellent handling, excellent controls, comfortable (with seat pad), more stable than the silverwing and just an all around champion quality scooter.

    I have had one sort of BMW or another over the years. By chance going by the local Suzuki dealer and being inquisitive and saw the bergman 650. got a test ride and bought it then and there. Had my baby just over two years when some woman drove straight into the back at 40mph. impact lifted the scoot up onto rear wheel and wheeled 20 metres to the car in front. hence some broken ribs and one or two other ailments. however, low centre of gravity with plenty of protection around the scoot. brill ...

    i have just traded my FJR in for the An650A , i have been ridding and racing bike most of my life ,Now 64, as an engineer/ rider i have found that this is just as exiting to ride as the Yam so far i have only found two things to complain about , the first is, if you wish to use the outlet socket , say to power your SAT NAv you cannot close the compartment properly, the second and more important is that i am having trouble with the rear brake , disc getting very hot ,ie the hydraulic pot is not ...

    I have only had my Suzuki Burgman 650 for 2 or 3 weeks but I am very happy with the ride and ease in getting on and off. I am a woman so I haven't tried to pick it up on my own yet but so far there have always been someone around to help me.

    B-E-A-U-TIFUL!! I have just got my 2009 Burgman 650 Executive and she is simply gorgeous. The ride is so smooth and you do not realise what speed you are doing - which can be a bad thing!!! Not sure of the fuel economy at the moment as I haven't had to fill her up yet but I will find out and let you know. The ride is very comfortable and I feel very secure and almost 'cocooned' from the elements. She has a screen that you can adjust up and down, mirrors that fold away electronically, a semi ...

    The Suzuki Burgman 650 leaves every thing else,just listening to the engine is a treat on itself .
    i own a yamaha xjr1300 ,since i bought the burgman cant look at any thing else,i enjoy every meter i ride .
    Suzuki have put together an unbelievable product i just cant fault it on any level ,space ,speed ,comfort reliability.
    people riding on the back seat feel so comfortable it makes them feel safer on the burgman.
    one piece of engineering.

    I have a black 2008 burgman 650 executive and absolutely love it, I found out about the bike when the cycle world bike show came to phoenix in november of 2007, and while not wanting to ride my vintage pristine 2-stroke collection to work everyday I decided to try the chinese 150 & 250 scooters recently being imported at the time, I never was attracted to any scooters unless it was one of the wicked looking italian small bore 2-strokes with the wild & twisted looking exhaust systems, scooters h ...
