I just picked up the 2022 Burgman 200, I had been researching between it and the Vespa 300. I am very satisfied that I made the right choice. I live in a City environment where freeway travel is an *option.* I did test the Burgman on the freeway for a short burst, it has great power, suspension, balance and stability. Ive always known the Burgmans to be excellent cruisers.

[@donelmore2540]

I rode a couple of used Burgman 650s and was put off by the way the CVT operates. Eventually I found a new 2018 Burgman 650 just out of the box at a dealer in Houston in 2021 and bought it at a discount-$2K+ under sticker. At my CA house I have a 2014 Vespa GTV300 which, oddly enough, is quicker out of the hole than the Burgman 650 Executive. The Burgman is much more comfortable at higher speeds obviously, but I avoid TX freeways like the plague-to many semi’s and they’re allowed in all lanes in some places. The CVT is much smoother on the Vespa. The Burgman feels like it is shifting gears for some reason, and it’s especially obvious when slowing to a stop.

[@donelmore2540]

“This one vs this one” doesn’t tell us anything. You have to name the scooter when you are describing them.

[@tonyinfinity]

It's more of a side by side comparison than a "VS", but not sure what you expect these two guys to tell you. It says in the video which is which, if you can't tell the difference about which one they're talking about then it sounds like it's more an issue about you. It's just a video of two similar scooters, you don't get to see two of these side by side very often.

[@mrnuthatch7004]

???? Just look at the bikes dude, the blue one is Burgman, and the silver one is the majesty.

[@billmellater]

What Don Elmore is talking about is at 12:52 he says "This one has a pause and this one is more consistent but then this one picks up." He's off camera while saying all that so it's hard to tell which one he's referring to.

Great comparison friends, did you know the seat of the Yamaha is adjustable? it can be adjusted forward and backward, I own a Yamaha Majesty 400 2006, I bought a Malossi clutch set and bell, it has 5 pads instead of 3 wich is smoother, you can also buy malossi spring kit for it so you can take off to higher revs, this doesn't work for me because of the traffic, it is kind of annoying that you have to rev more to take off, I lower the rollers to 13.5 grams, originally they come in 15 grams, It just revs and takes off much faster, have to mention that only use it at the city here in Mexico where we have much traffic, regards.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

I didn’t know about the adjustability the seat. I’ll have to look at that closer. I believe I have probably seen that underneath the seat. There are bolts for the adjustment, correct?

[@osmevi]

[@hiltonmcconnell2563]

I had the Majesty and loved it, found it better on the highway than the Burgman Used it to go to work on the 400 highway 102 km each way, and many weekend tours. Now in 2024 you can only get a Yamaha 300 so looking at the new Burgman 400 2024, but on the 2024 the under seat storage seem to be much less, so putting a 52 liter top box. for storing my helmet and jacket when stopped. Keeping the under seat for the heavier stuff. Also going to add heated grips and hand guards and battery tender.

The 400 Bergman is a nice machine. I'm used to 850cc, and other than track and adventure biking I'd doubt I'd run anything other than a step through for a daily, they are so convenient and since you can't change the speed limit it's more power than you need, it will comfortably run 80 with a light headwind and slight grade with 200lb rider.

[@Bobex63]

Great comparison, but I’d have to agree - I couldn’t keep track of which was “this one” or “that one”...

[@rogersmith5371]

I think when it is all said and done these two machines are about the same so a decision might come down to which brand you prefer. I once owned, for a few months, a Piaggio MP 3 400 so I have some experience with this size bike. Granted the Piaggio had 2 wheels up front and single cylinder 400cc engine as is the Suzuki. The twin Yamaha may be a little smoother. The maxi scooter is designed for open road riding and touring rather than delivering pizza. It could do that but it is far too big and heavy for that to be the reason to buy it. Since these are 2009 versions I would expect there to have been some improvements. On the principle that if it ain't broke don't fix it there is no need to change the basic design but as with the Burgman's bigger brother the 650 AN cruise control would be a good idea - it just makes the day's riding so much better. Traction control for wet and slippery roads would be another option to consider. In my view forget the whole bike v scooter thing and ride what you like, what you can afford that gets you where you need to go. It is the ride that is important not how fast you were going or how quickly you got there only that you got there in your own style and comfort. I don't like to preach or tell others what to do but I feel if you're promoting motor cycling it is best to be seen riding in proper safety gear. Thanks for the video

Well, as you probably know by now, I got the Yamaha, and glad I did, as it was the best choice for now. I'm doing the seals on the bike, as they now leak. Living in Canada is hard on bikes during winter months and no garage, even when I covered it up with 2 covers. Anyway, I did find a way to remove the front shocks without having to remove all the plastic front parts...thank goodness! Looking for a video on doing the back brakes, do you have one? I am having to restore the front calibers a bit which is again, a winter problem. I have to change out the back tire too. It sure runs great after upgrading the tranny with the Italian setup. Wow, much smoother with the 5 pads instead of the 3. Hey, where can I get the mirrors you have with the extended arm? I really need to find those, as the original mirrors are way too short for propoer viewing!:) Thanks as always!

[@ManCaveMayhem]

I’m not sure where those mirrors came from. I believe they are the original mirrors. I have never done the rear brakes on that scooter. California Weather is mild at best.

Hey Larry and Wes with man cave Mayhem. Question for you. Do you know if there are shorter shocks that can be put on a Burgman 400 or a Yamaha Majesty 400? Still trying to get one of these things for my wife so I can get the 650 Burgman LOL. She stands about 5 or maybe five foot one. Had her sit on a Burgman 400 and she can only get the very tips of her toes to touch the ground to balance so before I get her something I want to see if I can use a regular standard shorter shocks for the 400 Majesty or if there is a shorter models shock for the Burgman 400 I know that they can be adjusted but even at setting 3 which I believe is standard I don't think it's going to be short enough for her to put her feet almost flat

[@ManCaveMayhem]

MAURICE JOHNS I don’t think there are shorter shocks but they do make a 200 cc Burgman that might work for the wife. Maybe check that out. I think you would have issues with the rear tire clearing the fender well if you shortened the shocks. I hope this helps.

Burgman older models had dual brake system, but new from 2008 have separated. This Burgman has front and rear separated. Although it could be possible that when you apply enough brakeing on the back that front right disc is also breaking 25%. Older Burgman had this until 2006/7 afterwards they took this option out.Having dual system is ok, the problem if if you use left lever or rear brake all the time (which is wrong) you will have one of the front disc uneven used.

"Rubber hits the road" ?

[@VegitoBlackityBlack]

Why are you comparing such old scooters? 🤣

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Because we own them and many people are looking for good used stuff🤷‍♂️

[@VegitoBlackityBlack]

@@ManCaveMayhem Good answer. I just got the 2016 Suzuki Burgman. You have thoughts on that?

[@ManCaveMayhem]

@@VegitoBlackityBlack They are great scoots! Keep up the maintenance and it will last you for years👍🏻 keep the rubber side down my friend.

[@VegitoBlackityBlack]

@@ManCaveMayhem how do I keep the rubber side down?

[@ManCaveMayhem]

@@VegitoBlackityBlack Ride safe👍🏻 keep the tires on the ground🤣

Yamaha does not take a seat back and Suzuki has seat back choices

Wes is helpful, less b.s.

Scooters are not persons. "Which will win" not who will win.

Thanks for the English lesson.🤣 My wife does the same thing. Sometimes I’m just a Dummy.

Wasted time for watching this.

So sorry🤣 you kiss your mother with those lips.

It's WHEEL SIZE, not TIRE SIZE. You guys don't have the facts straight before you started this video?? Try looking it up and writing it down, not guessing about DOHC, wet weight, wheel size, recommended belt service interval and seat height. What a waste of time.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

tbillyjoeroth Thanks for your kind words 😘

[@johnmitchell2741]

chill out dude

[@Redmenace96]

nah. I'm down with tbillyjoeroth. Why are you making the video if you don't have facts? Do you think you are a KZbin Personality and I want to watch you and your bros goofing around? Guessing at things? Shooting the breeze? I can do that at home. Focus on the factual content, and then fill in the gaps with amusement and personality. You have the cart before the horse.

[@goodbonezz1289]

17 HUNDRED?? OR 17 THOUSAND MILES?? pay ATTENTION to how you communicate, please.

[@johnmitchell2741]

idiot

[@ronhalley8120]

Why would anyone want a scooter that you had to replace the belt every 1700 miles.. of course he meant 17,000 miles.

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

​​​@@ronhalley8120 European mainteinance book say 24.000km or 15k miles. I would say 17k is max but it depends on how you ride it. Those belts can go over 20k if not pushed to hard.
