I spent 25 years riding motorcycles, still do, and until on vacation about 10 years ago with a friend and his wife, who are both serious long distance Harley riders, never had I ridden one, rented one before - they had their own. We were in Key West and he told me it's the only way to get around in a congested area. I have owned a Honda PCX150 for 8 years now, absolutely love it. I've had zero mechanicals and avg 115mpg, which it isn't supposed to get (105 I think?). The CVT seems to reduce my riding concentration, and stress, by about 30%. I can focus more on the road, what's going on around me, the sites, and riding. I always always have a huge grin when I ride it and can absolutely rail through turns on it, and even ride on smooth dirt roads or across a field. My next one will be in the 300-400cc range, because I'd like the ability to go on the highway. For me, that'd be the perfect size. Great video! I like the Burgman, that's what I'm thinking about. Or a used Honda Forza.

Eat up the urban commute, happily sit on the speed limit for longer journeys, bodywork does a surprisingly good job of keeping you warm, dry and clean of road grime on the way to work. It's not the same as a motorcycle but not that different, a different flavour if you will. All most of us need, if ego isn't part of your motorcycle recipe, a well looked after scoot will keep the the commuting drudge miles off your big bore toy, maintaining resale and keeping your servicing bills down. Problem is its hard to walk past the scoot once you're an owner. Just plain fun mate, give it a go.

Guys the full face helmet fits in the Beverly too but you have to put it on the side. If you live in Ireland like I do believe me, both ABS and TC are a life saver. It’s not about the speed but about the road conditions. Sometimes you find yourself with the back wheel on wet manholes and the scooter is very snappy

I grew up ridding scooters in the 80's. They were my intro to proper motorcycles. I still own a few vintage Vespa'. I don't ride motorcycles on the street or tour them anymore. Too dangerous. I mostly, exclusively ride on the track now, as it is much safer. The only street "bike" I have now is a BV400 Piaggio. Its awesome. Low stress, and practical.

I’ve just completed an 1100 kilometre trip from NSW into Queensland on “mostly” very ordinary roads and a lot of rain. My BV 400 performed faultlessly, never missed a beat travelling at a consistent 110kph to 120kph. With a top box, under seat storage and two Corazzo soft throwover panniers I had more storage than I needed for a 7 day trip. The only downside was a fuel reduction from 29.5 ks/l to 26 because of the panniers

Now 20 months old and 14000+ ks on the clock and I still love this scooter. No problems encountered, 12000 k tyre change to Michelin citygrip2’s full day touring at speeds up to 140kph are easy and at 5ft 11in (180cm) and 94 kilos I have never had any problems with comfort either. True it would be nice to be able to move my feet to a different position but this scoot is more comfortable to ride long distances then any bike I have owned in my 55 years of riding. Only my 08 Yammie Tmax was maybe better

I have a 20221 BV 350 and I love it. The best thing to do here (Seattle) is take the ferry across to the pennisula. Scooters and motorcycles get loaded on first and do not have to wait in the long car line. Just go around the cars and zip onto the ferry. I am shorter so I like the idea of the Burgman being a little lower to the ground.

It also has the best-feeling brakes of what I rode that day. That included the GSX-S1000 & S750. I'm going to try too get my hands on a Burgman 650 for a ride.

Having ridden both the 650 and the 400, the only advantage of the 650 is if you ride longer journeys , it's more effortless and I found it quite boring, the 400 is lower down riding style , a lot more lighter and fuel efficient, and you have to ride her, especially round corners and easier for riding between cars/ lanes

Hello. I need an honest opinion on this scooter. I i'm in doubt what to buy between the Kymco, the Honda Forza 350 and the Yamaha Xmax 300. In my country Xciting costs 7500 euros same as Honda Forza 350(7500 euros) while the Yamaha Xmax 300 costs 7800 euros(this price for Japanese scooters because of stupid import tax from outside EU) . I i'm 187cm tall and 105kg, and i wanna buy scooter for in town use work, shopping, go to coffe, but also for longer trips for the weekend with my wife. What would you buy having in mind the comfort, the power, the underseat storage, the suspension, the brakes,fuel consumption and the overall quality of the bikes. What would be your choice having in mind the price as well? I would really apriciate your answer. Thank you

I grew up riding Lambrettas in the 60s and then switched to motorcycles for the next 60 years. But I always wanted to get another scooter. So last week, I bought a 2011 Burgman 650 Executive. Wow, it ain't my daddy's Lambretta, for sure. So now as I turn 73, I'm reliving my childhood. Sadly, my Ducati, Super 10 Tenere, and 6 other bikes in my stable are not going to get my attention for a while. I love this thing. It'll cruise at 80 mph, and the speedometer has to be constantly monitored because it gives no sensation of how fast you're really going. 70 mph feels like 45 mph on my other bikes. Love the undersea storage.

I've been torn between these 2 models and really appreciate both your insights. In the late 80s early 90s, the P200E and Serveta 200 had been my go-to. Now that I'm 50.. having to do repairs all the time isn't as appealing, nor am I looking to cut them down and pimp them out anymore (7 coats of pearlescent on black, larger center tanks and extended forks ..etm). I do want power and reliability afforded to both as these are definitely pluses. I'm getting the feeling that the Bergman might suit my 6'4" frame better though.

Don't knock TC on anything, including a scooter. SE Asia has the rainy season. The rest of the world outside of southern California appreciates ABS and TC on bikes, and yes, even scooters.

I have had the Burgman and now I have the Bv and for my in my town (Madrid, Spain) is much better the Bv given that it is smaller and can go between cars all day long, besides it has a wet clutch. PD: You can keep a integral helmet into the bike, you just have to look for the right position. Cheers 👍👍

I'd have to take the Piaggio, even though I try to avoid Italian vehicles. I worked on too many Italian cars in the past and owned 3 Italian motorcycles and am not impressed. But the "lean backwards with my feet way out front" riding position is not for me.

I have a Burgman and Yamaha and by far Burgman more comfortable and safer with braking the suspension of the Burgman is more softer and the driving position allows you to drive all day without being embarrassed to drive for the Piaggio that's all the opposite is the driving position 👎 and the fact that it is higher makes it less comfortable and I didn't like the handlebars which force you to lean forward a little unlike Burgman or Xmax where the handlebars come towards you

Prefer the burgman 200 than the 400, top speed is very similar but the 200 has much more space under seat “2 full face helmets” But the 400 is far better than the piaggio,

I have owned a Piaggio x8 250 and a couple of burgman 400. I would recommend the Burgman 400 as it is better for short and tall people. Piaggios are not as well made my x8 engine was in the throws of dying after 25000 miles my burgmans have done over 50000 each.

You're probably thinking of the Burgman 650. The 400 is no different than any other scooter. On the 650 the entire bike and engine need to be torn down.
