2023 Suzuki Burgman 400 | The Perfect Commuter Vehicle 😇

No its not a motorcycle, but don't let that put you off! More storage than an adventure bike, better weather protection than a Goldwing & more fun than a box of frogs!! Thousands of Italians cant be wrong!! Time to ditch the tin box and commute on a Suzuki Burgman! (other scoters are available)

Thanks for the review. My Dad owns this scooter and tours Europe with me Italy, Austria this summer. At 87 with dodgy hips these bike able him to continue doing something he loves. Very capable mode of transport 👍

I have a 2006 Burgman 400. I love it. I even out ran my brother in law on his Harley. Every time he shifted gears I'd pass him all the way up to highway speeds.

I had a Burgman 400 a few years ago. Apart from the heavy weight pushing it around parking spots and the over-firm suspension it was a brilliant scooter. No-one could ever complain it was sluggish. Just before they were withdrawn from the UK I traded down for a Burgman 200 which is a lot lighter and still will do motorway speeds with ease. I did a 3000 mile tour of Spain and Portugal on it and only needed a small strap on bag behind me as its boot was also enormous. I loved the analogue, very clear gauges. BTW the 200 averaged 95 miles to the gallon. I never felt I needed any more power. Thanks for the review.

Commuted on honda 50/70/90/125 for 40 yrs got soaked and cold. Bought an xmax250 10 yrs ago. No chain, easy belt change at 12 k weather protection, dry legs and feet. Not good on fuel but even 250 out accelerate normal cars. Fantastic vehicles. Don’t replace a proper bike imo. Rode mine to southern Spain and back twice. Cruising 65-70. Biggest thing for me was no chain maintenance and no need for piling on protective clothing. Maintenance is easy too. Only bug bear is rear tyre change. Fair bit of work. Ok if can do self. I didn’t pay a lot for mine but think they are very expensive now. Also very stealable. Even second hand pricey. Some of the lesser known brands have rear monoshock suspension now, better that crude twin springs which is a bit crashy. I found that it was my go to transport nip to shops park on pavement. Very seductive once you’ve had one.

The best part of Maxi scoots is long distance touring. The room, space, weather protection and comfort are awesome. Also no chain to adjust. The best part of the Burgman are the killer twin front discs and excellent ABS. Compared to the braking on any of the bikes I've had, the Burgman rules. For the quickest reaction in an emergency; you can't beat handbrakes. My 500F is for day rides in the twisties. Fun yes but it doesn't have the same room or comfort for long travel.

Nice review. I have motorbikes and scooter and love both. The Forza 350 Maxi scooter I have is 20kg down on the Burgman with similar power, more space, is £1k cheaper and has a brilliant electric screen! Perfect for commuting or trips to the shops. 82mpg too. Great fun in environments where motorbikes are a pain. The motorbikes are fun in areas Scooters aren't, so great to have both in the garage!

[steveburns]

I've just bought exactly this bike for commuting. With a top box I can take a jacket and briefcase. When I get to work even if I'm away from the office I can leave all my gear in the bike. In the Bournemouth city traffic it the perfect mode of transport.
In the summer the missus jumps on the back and we hardly use the car. Free parking everywhere. It's brilliant.

[simonryder]

Two bikes in my garage. Ducati Multistrada V4S and Kawasaki J300 scooter for zipping up and down to the shops. Discovered the joys of scootering years ago on a holiday and rent one everywhere we go. Even tour Devon and Cornwall on mine 2 up with a top box and beat the tourist traffic in summer!! Love them 😎

[philk]

Had a couple of 400 Burgmans over the years and then a couple of 300 Kymcos. Love maxi scooters. They are incredibly practical and a whole lot of fun. We definitely need to embrace them more here in the UK.

I had an '07 Burgman 400. It was wonderful machine. Powerful and heavy enough to ride on the Hi-way, yet still returned approximately 70 mpg (US gal). the space under the seat could accommodate a case of beer. I got rid of it over concerns of riding while I was the sole breadwinner of a young family. With my kids all grown now, I got back into riding a few years ago. I would love to buy another. My biggest hurdle is that I need to get rid of one of my other bikes to make room in the shed for it. Thanks for the video!

[MatNewtonTrio]

Nothing wrong with a Maxi. I’d happily have one for the office run. Lots of people tour on them. Cheap to run, very easy to ride, perfect for the job intended. Like you say, you can still do the cars at the lights 😂 👊

[nickrider]

You were poetry in motion on the Burgman Chopsy 😎 Totally with you on embracing scooters, they're fun and practical, feel a lot lighter than they are too.

[jonnyvt]

May wife had a Honda PCX 125 and I had a Yamaha 350; I used to take every opportunity to go out on the Scoot, was such a fun, and that's what it's all about😊

[neilwiddison]

Just brought an 06 model in mint condition, for £1000. Taking it touring next year. Cant wait. I also have 2 motorbikes and this thing is loads of fun.

[martinturner]

I got a early carburetored one chops . Ride all year round bloody brilliant thing for running back and forward to work. Especially when it's raining . It takes everything I throw at it any shitty weather it just laughs at it . Save me big bikes for the nice days . A great review chops . 👍

[kevinroberts]

I agree. This class of scooter is so underrated. What a great subject bike and vid.

[bakedbeanzontoast]

My late Dad had a Burgman 400 years ago, just like a giant twist and go 50 cc scooter, but can do proper speeds and like riding an armchair, Great machines.👍👍👍

[jeffsmith]

Great video that and the real world overtakes very useful. When i lived in mallorca i had a kymco 125 maxi and it did everything we needed and two up shopping etc. ended up moving back to the uk and shipped it back, rode it from ramsgate to suffolk from the delivery company and parked it up. Never got to get it on road in uk and sadly scrapped it which was a shame. Did my full bike licence snd only then i found out i needed a cbt for it 😂 only been riding it in spain for three years on a uk car licence 🤦🏼‍♂ now got a 850 GSA And a 2023 street triple rs but feeling the want for the forza 350 for round town. Ironically the advanced police motorcyclist i bought my gsa off had bought the forza 350 for the London commute. Keep up the great work. You and Andy are my two go toos for real world. Tmf shows you the headlights at night you show how fast they go 😎

[cookieloverTM]

I got the Burgman 650 and the AK550 love the fun on these scoots, good to see more scoot videos, thanks 😊

[stevellewellyn]

Great video. Very entertaining. Been riding scooters for years due to their practicality and fun. Never understood the odd UK attitude towards them. Your video puts their attributes across very well and perhaps it'll help the nay-sayers to overcome their preconceptions of cool. They've been missing out for a long time now. Keep up the good work Lamb Chops... ride more scooters... try the Piaggio Beverly 400S if you can. I'd be really interested to see what you make of that uncool sounding bike. I think you'll be smitten. 👍
