Suzuki Burgman 400 (AN400) reviews

Absolutely a great bike does over 100mph. Gets 55 mpg driving it hard. 65mpg taking it easy. Holds two helmets under the seat. No shifting takes getting used to. Show less

I rode this Suzuki Burgman to work for one year. I enjoyed every mile that I put on it. I used it to gain the experience and confidence needed to enjoy a larger bike. It was lots of fun. The Burgman offers a smooth ride. It accelerates quickly and gets great gas mileage. (avg.67 mpg) Great for getting around town. Show less

Tooling around town is a blast!! You just ride around in a nice relaxed position, just twist and go. I was really suprised how well the Burgman handles. It is so easy to control and maneuver in turns. The power is very pleasing - not a sports bike but she has some giddy-up. So far, I've only taken it up to 60 mph on the highway but she was rock solid - steady as she goes. With the combination of great comfort, fun power and super control, you hardly know the scooter is there because you are too busy just enjoying the ride. Like many other bikes, this scooter DOES NOT draw attention to itself because it has no issues to speak of, like engine heat, leg cramping, chain maintenance, bike too heavy, shifting, etc. In short, this scooter delivers up an awesome, carefree riding experience. And, at the end of the ride, you will say that the Burgman 650 Exec. served me well. Show less

When it comes to day to day comuting and and even some weekend fun, this bike delivers. Lets start with the pluses. First and for most, this bike is very comfortable. The seat is broad and cushy, the reach to the handlebars is not far and there is plenty of room on the floor boards for leg movement to help with longer trips. The adjustable backrest helps out too. Wind protection is great for the most part. Second, the power from its 400cc single is quite suprising. Third, handling is superb for such an upright riding bike and the factory tires grip very well. I would almost say that it flicks back and forth through the twisties quite well but you find the centerstand pretty soon when pushing the bike's limits. Forth, the storage is freakin awesome. The bat cave that is under the seat will easily hold 2 full face helmets or 40$ worth of well placed groceries and the dash storage is very handy for many things as well. I can fit a 1 liter bottle of soda in the glove box it is so deep. Plus there is a 12v power outlet to charge your cell or anything else inside there too. The cons, The power is good but the CVT lacks enough top end to cruise long distance in my opinion. At an indicated 75 MPH the tach reads 7200 RPM and the redline is at 8500. Wind buffeting from the stylish shaped windshield requires the wearing of a helmet at minimum to save my eardrums from jumping out of my head. This bike is an excellent daily driver and errand runner for which I use it every day. It won't keep up with too many bikes but that's not what it was built for. This would make an excellent starter bike for many people to get used to riding. Show less

I have owned all kinds of bikes. I have a Goldwing. This is a mini Goldwing. Suspension is not as good, but half the price. This is the best all around bike if you only can have one bike. It hunkers down on the freeway like no other. I can not tell how fast I am going on this bike and it always surprise me when I see the odometer. Handling is great, wind protection with Clearview shield is excellent. Plenty of power and storage. Seat is a bit hard, but leathet butt pad helps. Getting about 44 mpg all city. Cool bike.

THE SCOOTER IS GREAT. PICK UP AND GAS MILEAGE IS NOT TO BE BELIEVED. RIDES MORE LIKE A MOTOR CYCLE THAN A SCOOTER. GAS MILEAGE ABOUT 50 TO 60 MPG. Show less

I have owned 16 different bikes since 1989--mostly large touring models, both Japanese and American. My previous ride was a 08 Harley Street Glide. This is my first automatic motorcycle as well as first Suzuki. The fit and finish are top-notch but it's the ride quality that stands out. At 56 years of age I was ready for something different and this Burgman 650 fits the bill. The handling is superb, the brakes are fantastic and pick-up is wonderful too. It has plenty of under-seat storage and three separate dash cubbies, the largest one lockable. Getting used to not shifting is the biggie here, but once you get over the urge to pull the clutch and move your left foot, it's so easy to ride. It totally put the fun back into riding for me after 20 years in the saddle. Show less

Wahooo! Fuel economy, comfort, and style. What more? 110 MPH capable on the highway. What a dangerous proposition! This is a fit bike. It gets respect on the road thanks to the impressive looking facework. The front looks like a sportbike is coming at you. You get very good responses from other riders. You can also send a bill to Suzuki for all the promotional service you do! This bike belongs to my wife but it is like a puppy, it warmed up to the first one that gave her what she needed. It is a great machine and I recommend it hands down. Show less

I have an Aprilia Tuono 1000R 2007 - and have ridden it 3 times in 4 months. I always grab the Burgman. I can make 600 miles per day with wood beads. It pulls the N. Georgia mountains with use of overdrive at 60-70 mph. I got 60.1 MPG. You have to know how to use the tranny to get this mpg. Drive it hard and 50 mpg will happen. The handling is unreal and the best way to go fast in the turns is to apply full throttle at the tightest part of the turn. The tires will not let go and you can gain ground clearance. Sorry metric guys, you cannot beat me taking off or in the curves. I am 67 years old and do not miss the clutch action. Show less

I love this bike! It is so much fun to drive without the hassle of it being a motorcycle. It has easy-to-use controls and lots of power! I highly recommend it. The highest mpg recorded has been 49 mpg highway. I average 40 mpg with fast driving. Show less
