    No,it does not handle and corner like a motorcycle, but taken as a vehicle in it's own right, it is the best thing on two wheels that I have owned, practical, easy to ride, economical, comfortable and a sheer joy to ride in all kinds of British weather. It is almost unaffected by headwind or crosswind and the weather protection is great.

    I have over 50 years riding experience, I have other motorcycles, including classic racers, which I still ride, both here and abroad, But I have to give credit where it is due, as, like many converts, I never thought that I would be riding a scooter.

    Hi, so so please with my Burgman 400. I have only covered 900 miles so it's still brand new. With regards to MPG, at first when I was running in I got 75MPG. I was thrilled, but now I am opening her up a bit, it has dropped to 57 MPG. Still OK but not great. I had a Vespa GT200 for 5 years before and this is like a Rolls Royce. I am 6'3" and at first I felt too tall for the bike and I was goung to remove the backrest, but now I am used to the seating position. I use everyday in London traffic an ...

    After researching scooters for commuting for about six months, we settled on a used Suzuki Burgman 400. It has more than enough power for any around-the-town tasks and even freeway riding. The under seat storage is large enough to hold my computer case, tools, rain gear, reflective vest, etc. for my commute (17 miles each way). It gets ridden rain or shine and in temperatures over 115 degrees in the Phoenix summer.

    Shortly after buying the Burgman, my wife bought a motorcycle, so we started rid ...

    Hi, I am a new owner of a 2009 Burgy 400. I read some comments and the amazing mileages obtained. But I see so much confusion ,so, take note(s)... This will be as close (rounded off) to precise as you can use. One US Gallon = 3.78 litres One Imperial Gallon = 4.54 litres Therefore 6 US Gallons equals 5 Imperial gallons. Presume you do 60M/G on a USgallon, you would be getting
    1/6 more miles on 1 Imperial (UK;CAN)gallon or...70 M/G because you had more gas!that's all! In short,to change from IMP ...

    Bought my 2003 Suzuki Burgman as a write off so got it for £2300, it had been dropped so only had panel damage, cost me £240 for all the panels and they come ready painted!, it was a long job due to all the fasteners you have to remove but straight forward, been riding it now for work every day have put over 14000 miles on it and still love it, went up snake pass one sunny sunday and had a smile on my face from start to finish, only ridden it hard one night when i was late for a appo ...

    I've had a Suzuki Burgman for about 5.5 years and put 40k miles on it use it for daily commuting in all weathers and I mean ALL weathers. Originally had Conti Black Hoop on it, changed for Michelin Gold Standard - much better.

    Its been fairly reliable, serviced every 6 months. I'm 5'11" and its comfy to sit on, good storage. I can get a laptop bag under the seat. I get great gas mileage 70mpg (UK Gallons) pretty much regardless of how I ride it. Stable, sure footed in the wet, stops on a dime. ...

    Suzuki Burgman 400 is an outstanding ride. Exceptional fuel consumption. More than satisfactory top speed and acceleration. Love every minute I spend on it.

    Bought my AN400 Burgman last spring and rode it from the rocky mountains to Massachusetts last summer. Averaged about seventy MPG. Most comfortable machine I ever owned. Came back in three and one half days. No aches-no pains
    (Iam 80 years old) and I will probably ride out to California this summer.

    Great machine. I reccomend it to anyone interested.

    It's great to ride!! The Suzuki Burgman 400 seems to suffer from a flat battery after just two weeks, the bikes only 8 months old.

    I've owned quite a few bikes, including Hondas, Moto Guzzis and my favourite, a Vstrom, plus a couple of scooters. The Vstrom was great but somewhat top heavy and had an uncomfortable seat

    I noticed the 2008 Suzuki Burgman 400 in a showroom (black) and it looked stunning for a scooter and much better looking than the Honda Silverwing, Peugeot Satalis or Yamaha T-max etc.

    For those worried about "image" and so-called lack of respect from bikers I would say that's their problem. The Burgman is t ...

    We have both the 650 and 450 burgman's, which we pleased with, through the winter months we have had to put the 450's battery on charge roughly every 10 days, we have thought about taking the fuse out which operates the flashing 'Red key' on the dashboard, not yet found the fuse box yet!!!

    Having owned a 2007 Burgman 400 for 2 years and done nearly 20,000 miles with it, I was considering upgrading to a T-Max, Burgman 650 or Silver Wing. After much deliberation, I asked myself the question, why?
    It is so reliable, handles well, more storage space than in Mary Poppins's carpet bag, by no means fuel hungry, comfortable and also pretty agile for such a big machine. In short, I think I have been spoilt.
    Admittedly, the rear end sticks out of parking spaces as it is one of the long ...

    I have now used my Suzuki Burgman 400 400 for 3 months and here's my opinion of it. I use it mainly for pleasure. I am extremely satisfied with the machine. It never misses a beat, starts first time in all weathers, and attracts a lot of attention wherever I park it. I get 70 mpg overall and never goes below 60mpg when ridden fast. I check oil and water regularly but has yet to top it up. RPM is 6100 at 70mph. I agree that bikers dont give it the respect it deserves but , hey, when I am still be ...

    The Suzuki Burgman 400 is an economical, good ride and easy to handle but my tires were too small and wore out quickly, especially the rear tire.

    I have owned my 400 Burgman for 9 years, many trips to france.
    Have found it very reliable and economical 70 plus. I ride very hard and enjoy the road holding with good storage with top box, I own many bikes including bmw and have found more fun on the Burgy, I find many motorcyclist tend to treat scooterist with very little respect, until you show them your rear end.

    Good allround machine good touring easy to maintain, exhaust much to heavey, stick with bridgestone tyres and change in pairs ...

    The Suzuki Burgman 400 is a good starter , nice ride feel , comfortable seating , plenty of guts for the 400cc , like the grunty sound from the exhaust , handle bar position gives clear viewing of the dash which looks cool when glows , good storage overall pleased.. Able to do the job it was built for easily. Only bad points are some internal rattle inside front panels, cables?, a little heavy , not enough to put me off

    I liked the scoot but couldn't live with the whole image thing, bikers pretty much ignore you (yep you carry on notching up your 1,000 miles a year when it's sunny) and car drivers show you far less respect . so I've just sold her privately £1,900.
