Ride along chat: Suzuki Burgman 400 vs Piaggio BV350

[@simonmurphy5119]

sorry,tried to watch but volume is very low.

[@jcampbell2481]

Yes the volume was very low but I just turned up my computer volume control to 100% and enjoyed the video. You live in scenic country, somewhat similar to Calgary where I live.

Thanks, I am learning more and more about volume and making these videos. They will be better going forward. I would love to see Calgary. My kids live in Regina and we fly into Calgary first. Someday we will spend a few days there.

Thanks for the Video but no volume

[@Jiffy_Squid]

Too bad there's no sound on these videos!

[@peter7624]

Yamaha TMaxes also have the wet multiplate clutch. Much smoother and better take up (and more complex) than the Burgmans' dry unit.

[@gr8shotz00]

I would have looked at one at the time but they didn't exist in my State. My Piaggio Beverly 350 had a wet clutch and it was smooth too

[@nickreyes4570]

Can't hear video!

[@gr8shotz00]

Beginning videos I struggled with sound a bit. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[@ScoobyFermentation]

Any opinions on the new BV400?

[@gr8shotz00]

I had a BV350 and it was one of my favorite scooters. Did not like the dashboard on it. The BV400 is a total new machine so that would solve the dash problems. I have not seen or ridden one. But if they were available when I bought the Burgman I would have looked at them for sure.

that traction control and ABS belongs on cars and trucks NOT on motorcycles and scooters...that extra electronic garbage is just more headaches to deal with....and is a deal breaker for a lot of serious motorcyclists

[@cwheremonster8870]

The problem is that so many great bike are coming standard with these features. Soon we will have no choice. I remember when linked breaking systems started rolling out. Ugh 😩. I have to admit that I do like ABS on a bike. I didn’t think I would. But you are right, all these systems are expensive and hard to work on in your garage. There was a time I could rebuild my own carburetors at home. Now it’s EFI and “go to the dealer to get a computer flash”. I fear it’s only going to get worse.

Thumbs down for the volume. Amateur job and torture for the viewer!
