Suzuki Burgman 400 on the highway

[@CrimsonRaven51]

Today I just bought a 2023 Suzuki Bergman. Haven’t ridden a motorcycle in. Over 20 years. Nervous getting back to it driving around the dealership parking lot. Going to have to start slow in the neighborhood. Won’t attempt the highway for a while. But happy with my purchase now that the weather is getting warmer.

[@ChristopherT_]

hey! any updates?

[@joshii2633]

Take a MSF beginners riding course, don’t rely on what you knew 20 years ago.

[@danbrovont1148]

They still make the 400, it is the 650 that they stopped making/importing. I love my 400, ride it almost daily.

[@jasontomica8938]

I have a 2023 400 and I can't get above 82 mph with my tall windshield?,

[@jamesknight3992]

@@jasontomica8938 I too own a 2023 Burgman 400 and 82 is my top speed but not sustainable. Encountering an incline will impact speeds over 75 mph. Between 70 and 75 is a comfortable range for highway speeds.

[@jasontomica8938]

@jamesknight3992 But to be honest with you, the top speed doesn't really matter. Once you go over 75 Miles an hour, the gas range just starts to go down pretty crazy, especially when you get near 80 Miles an hour. I feel like 65 to 70 is the perfect sweet spot.

[@jasontomica8938]

And also the wind going much faster? The wind just becomes much more unbearable. I'm used to a car so totally 2 different vehicles. They both get you there, but a car. Obviously is luxury compared to a motorcycle? No wind issues, no weather issues. No nothing and u don't have to wear a helmet all day

[@saulocpp]

@@jasontomica8938 You have to remap the ECU, then it will go faster. Actually the biggest benefit is the increase in torque.

[@coldweathersuks7457]

Got my xt250 based on alot of your older videos..love that bike..Love to ride 2wheels no matter what it is

[@billgraham4630]

I bought the 650 version and man they go tons of power! Handle like a dream!

[@oooo-tu1sy]

Burgman 650 is the smoothest engine I ever felt from Goldwings 1100,1200,1800 and BMWs 650, 1150, 1200. I wished they made a motorcycles based on the B650 engine.

[@Robert-t1p]

I want to see the 650 vs the 2025 burgy 700.this would be a good match up with only 50cc between them

[@Robert-t1p]

They do make a dr 650 suzuki an old classic modernized

[@Robert-t1p]

I wonder if the 50 cc of the 700 burgy will make it any difference in performance maybe the should have done what honda and Yamaha did go to 750.anyway a zontes 701vs the 700 burgy would be interesting also.

[@luvnotvideos]

There are so many amazing maxi-scooters available in Europe, I'm surprised Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha are sticking with the sub 500cc engines here in the US. We have so many open roads, dirt roads, and BLM land, that the new adventure-oriented scooters would be better suited in our market, but all we have is the anemic Honda ADV160. I can't help feel that great advertising, and some social media hype would make the 300 and 750 models sell like crazy over here. I'll be swapping out my Versys X300 (11k miles and growing) for something else within the next year. Looking for a more interstate worthy bike that's more comfortable for long tour riding. I used to have a Piaggio MP3 500 and loved it, so decided to start looking at the current maxi scooters. I'm getting older and it's more difficult to swing a leg over. My ADV riding days are getting fewer and fewer every year but I still want to go places and see things. Looking at the used market for the Burgman 650 has become the focus lately. Glad to hear the 400 is worthy. Might have to look at it too.

[@GOD2GINO4EVER]

I own a Suzuki Berkman AN 400 2008 model; And I had it up to 90 miles an Route 23 in greenup Kentucky. And I am from Southern California Born and raised. I am glad I ran across this video when I did. Now I know I can ride the freeways in Southern California once I touch down❤🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏿💯

[@hankwojo]

I have a 2022 Burgman 400. I usually have a GPS unit with me when I ride. I find that my speedometer is about 5 mph optimistic.

[@johnmitchell8925]

Seems most manufacturers have their speedos showing 5mph faster then what your actually doing.VERY Annoing

[@bassaniobrokenhart5045]

[@markbroad119]

I used to live in Riverside and Moreno Valley. I had never seen the 91 that empty. Dang

[@Benjamin-xv2hg]

Where you have any DOT reflectors, if you buy small pod lights for motorcycle they can screw right into them. Or if you have any factory mounted hardware on both sides. That's what I did. I like how they turn at slow speeds unlike the headlights. The potholes are crazy around where I live. And I have to ride home at night.

[@stimsonromano2258]

Awesome review thanks for sharing from Australia

[@wojtas2524]

Why can't Americans just keep to the right unless passing on the highway

[@ViktorHristovvv]

Thanks for the video! And 37 miles is no commute my man, by European standards that's a freaking journey hahah

[@NoOnesWatching0_0]

Hahhahahaha, I guess you’re right! I could be almost half across some European countries.

[@o00scorpion00o]

Not in Ireland , my commute and many others is 80-100 miles a day depending on the site I have to visit, this includes return trip.

[@jasontomica8938]

U said u were almost going 90mph, I can't not get above 82mph with my tall windshield on my 2023 400 burgman

[@jasontomica8938]

And my gas mpg is only 52 in traffic and stop and go and 60 on hwy

[@Rubberfoxy]

Im owner of a 2016 Burgman 400 Executive. Tops out at 100mph on the motorway according to the speedo. Cargo space is unchallenged even by the newest scooters. Dead reliable. Got grip heaters as standard. Couldnt be more happy

[@garyshewmake3830]

To my understanding ther was a regular Bergman 650 that's no longer made,, the'executve Bergman 650 is the new vershun an still bein made,, I'm hopen to sumday this yr or nxt yr get executive 650 that has sum yrz on it sell amount is lower speshally payun cash

[@garyshewmake3830]

Correction the Executive Bergman 650 stopt bein made 2018 then a newer type Executive Bergman 650 is bein made since 2019

[@genegoodwin8925]

Thank you for this Video. I've been thinking about Kymco X-Roads 300i but the videos say it struggles at 60 mph and over. SO now I'm looking at the Burgman 400. I have a freind that has one far sale. Maybe I can get a good deal.

[@philiporourke7896]

Great scooter, but I hate that windshield.

[@billgraham4630]

My wife has the Honda forza 300 handles passengers no problem!

[@brianc8840]

Proof you can use it for highway thx.

[@johnmitchell8925]

My Yamaha Smax 155cc will run circles around the Xt250 i used to ride.I got rid of the Xt250 because it couldn't maintain 55mph even on a slight grade and all the cars behind me would try and run me over. Even the smaller scooters seem to way outperform the same-size motorcycle

[@tomekcz20022]

Where did you get the hand guards? Please link in USA

[@calgary2800]

Thats what I want to know too, I have a Burgman 200 and the wind protection is great but hands has nothing. I need this.

[@dank9288639]

Aye I know that neighborhood, lol. I live like 5mins away.

[@jage6126]

Maybe i missed it, but is this stock exhaust? In that case it is a "no go" for me. Too intrusive. And how tall are you?

[@NoOnesWatching0_0]

Yeah its the stock exhaust. Its alot quieter in person. Im 5'4" on a tall day.

[@calgary2800]

Do you have a link where I can buy those hand guards?

[@chelseagarcia2009]

Do you need an M license for a 400cc scooter?

[@JulioSanchez-l7o]

Try a higher wattage headlight bulb and adjusting the vertical on it

[@everythingisIAM]

are they safe in rain riding?

[@dank9288639]

yep, really good actually.

[@kurecore7501]

Had 250ccm , did 140km/h long tunes on highway with no problem

[@Redmenace96]

Everyone thinks the storage is for touring. I think it is critical for commuting. first, need to lock up my helmet, gloves, and other riding gear. second, shopping. You can hit 2-3 stores and be able to store/lock your purchases- while you go into another store. Most Americans reject motos because they think, "where will I put my stuff?" (George Carlin)

[@conniegamble8306]

U gotta do a video with a passenger no one does that I wanna know can the 400 handle the highway with a passenger thanks in advance

[@menajemh]

I ride with my wife. I weight 190 and she 140. I put it at 65 mph but no higher cause of speed limits. No problem reaching the speed as if I was riding alone. Mine is a 2013

Switch to radial tires and it will quit following little ruts in the road guaranteed!

Don't plan to go speed of light here!thanx anyways!

[@jake88ci]

I have new superbike collection both euro and japanese models(euro bikes better than japanese in every aspect now thats why they have won every comparison for the last 15 years strait ) . But for touring have owned burgman 400/650 . Then bought The Piaggio bv400 BEST touring scooter. Smooth as silk could ride over a body and hardly feel it . I tried the yamaha and honda models that use a traditional motorcycle chassis instead of scooter chassis = Neither fish nor foul .Burgman/piaggio traditional Scooter chassis much more plush

They are not just for the wind, they also protect the hands from random flying objects.

The 650 is not available in the US. Suzuki only sells the 400 and the 200 here in the States. Wish more companies than SYM and Kymco would bring maxi-scooters back over here.

They still make the 650 in 2025 but they also make the 700 burgy.in 2026 they will probably make a 750.
