Thoughts on Suzuki Burgman 400 k7

[@busdriver1469]

I bought my 1999 Burgman 400 about 2 weeks ago and i got it for 9000 kroner in Norway or about 900 us dollar…..loving it😉😍

[@grahamduggan8476]

I'm glad I found this video. In ireland myself and i have a honda cb650 as my daily commuter. Great bike, but i think something like this will be my next choice. More practical. Less power, but as you say, it's all you need.

[@peter7624]

Great real world revue Kevin, No head banging music etc, thanks. I've had a 500 TMax and scooters are the best kept secret on 2 wheels. Comfort, storage etc. I did a run up to Scotland on a fireblade, and I could hardly walk afterwards! Same trip on the Tmax was great. Worst thing I ever did was sell the TMax! Looking to get another scooter soon and think it's going to be a 400 Burgman.

[@eirebiker4275]

Hi Peter, thanks for the comment. I’ve rode a lot of bikes and the burgman really impressed me. For a 400cc it is highly impressive and is absolutely perfect for touring. I agree with you about the maxi scooters - they are indeed a well kept secret. Safe riding!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Tmax is a sport king among scooters. Rode one. Can check it among my videos. Cheers. :)

[@peter7624]

Well I got my 2012 Burgman 400ZA last week. A great bike! The ride up to get it on my CBF600 nearly crippled me, (torn meniscus in right knee) the ride back on the Burgman was like sitting in an armchair for 4 hours. kept to 70-80 mph. Economical too, averaged 68 mpg into a strong headwind most of the way.

[@damian2001111111]

I got one as well, fantastic machine...comfortable, economical and easy to ride...I recommend it.

[@keithhankey2314]

Good review. I have a 1200 Sportster. I just turned 67. I am seriously considering getting a 400 Burgman. By the way I was in Ireland 3 years ago. Loved the place. I would say the roads are one factor. They let the grass next to the road grow tall for the birds to nest. Good for the birds but you can't see ahead on the curves. Here in the US there are to many people looking at their phones and not the road.

[@eirebiker4275]

Thanks. Unfortunately way too many people on phones over here too. I prefer to ride when the roads are quiet - less idiots. Glad you enjoyed Èire - some nice biking roads If the weather allows. Stay safe!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Burgmans have a lot of pros. Storage, engine, reliability and even a good style. I like them. Great video mate. Enjoyed. Thinking of getting one. Cheers.

[@Nooziterp1]

Good choice. I've had two. I would have had another but emissions regs on the latest model have reduced the power from 33bhp to 28.8 (and the weight is around the same) and there is a lot less storage. I went for a Honda Forza 350 instead. Same power but less weight, and the same storge as the current Burgman.

[@jesuisravi]

I've had a 06 Burgman 400 for about a year and a half now. I got it for a little over 2000$. The best 2000$ I ever spent.

[@HamzaKab-]

jesuisravi I want to buy one , what's the top speed ?

[@jesuisravi]

I would say about 85.

[@VegitoBlackityBlack]

@@HamzaKab- it's 105mph as top speed

[@Nooziterp1]

I used to have a 06 Burgman. It could do around 90.

[@pmay222]

they are like a secret aspect of biking... i had a piaggio x8 400 for a while.. my missus absolutely loved the back seat she never complained once... good on fuel , comfy.. cheap tyres..i was changing the 1.4l oil every 2k miles soo simple... ive had all types of roadbikes, harley, sportsbike... done 10 years bike courier in uk so ive done ridiculous miles... im now 55 and have a normal bike but i am craving another scooter, it was soo much fun at weekends with missus on back we could both ENJOY the scenery and chat etc.. and you dont have to walk around in Heavy bike gear when you arrive somewhere, it all fits under seat etc... im eyeing burgmans now in 2021... i can feel a purchase happening...

[@eirebiker4275]

Yeh man, it’s hard to beat the practicality and comfort of a big scooter The burgman is great for two up aswell, the 400 has plenty of pull. Some good value out there at the min also.

[@pmay222]

@@eirebiker4275 i have quite a nice nc700x honda thats a great bike lovely low down power...its kinda like a scooter anyways...but it murders her arse..lol.... i might be exchanging very soon i think i hardly use the bike...

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Scooters are the easiest way of riding. Also the most efficient I think. I like all two-wheeler. Drop by to check my content. Thanks and ride safe.

[@ctmac9404]

Something about these has me thinking I would ride that every day. Thanks for the review.

[@eirebiker4275]

CT Mac It's like riding a big comfortable armchair 😀

[@Excalibure666]

Is it limited edition or you added hand guards?

[@eirebiker4275]

Gökmen Emre Keskin The bike came with the handguards.I think it might be an extra option when you purchase the bike new.

[@Excalibure666]

Ok thanks for answer. I just got a k7 limited edition and it has handguard and grip heating. Nice review. Thanks!!

[@eirebiker4275]

Gökmen Emre Keskin Enjoy and safe riding!

[@ronaldbalneaves903]

Perfect survey of burgman. Comfort second to none.Yes I had a 600 bike with aching muscles when crouching down on bike.😀😀

[@eirebiker4275]

Thanks man.

[@Eryeahmaybe]

My Mrs is carrying some strong Carribbean booty. Fitted a back box and she's comfy and happy riding pillion. Was going to go for a Harley but they're too narrow. For ease and comfort it's the burgman all the way

[@jesusmejia3910]

I currently ride a 150cc Vespa LX ie. Im actually looking to sell my Vespa and buy a 400 Burgman. Here in California, they're going for 1,900 to 2,500. I was thinking about the 650, but I think the 400 should suit me just fine. 75 on the highway for commuting sounds awesome to me. Thanks for the video. Much love from Central California 😎

[@SponsorShort]

The Suzuki Burgman 650 is discontinued. You can't find them here in California.

[@wideload9295]

I agree its such a lovely, smooth and economical ride. comfort is really good too, I have the white one (fastest )😊 , very pleased with it!

[@seadog915]

I have to disagree with you bud, the silver model is just a hair faster! Especially if you polish everything!

[@jonathanfrench3360]

Thanks for an honest an informative review. As I say, "it's horses for courses" an in the environment or use you describe, it's a great contender!

[@springy-2112]

Thank you for an honest review ..thinking of changing my bmw r1150rt for something more relaxed / lighter less bulky .and just sat on a 2008 an 400 in the bike shop i'm very tempted .👍🏻☮❤

[@eirebiker4275]

Thanks man. It's definitely more relaxed for sure, still has a fair bit of bukk to it though. It's a very underrated machine, decent power and you will not get a more comfortable bike to ride. You should take one for a spin and see what you think.

[@cormacredmond12345]

Good review, thanks. Tiger & Ninja owner here, yet dying for one of these!

[@eirebiker4275]

cormacredmond12345 Tks....totally different from your current bikes but I bet you'll like it.So practical!

[@auralzenith2533]

thanks for the review man, I'm looking at one tomorrow

[@eirebiker4275]

Mark Tweddell Tks man.Best of luck with the viewing!

[@alfiospuson7165]

Wonderful machine thanks for the video 👍

[@tullioserafin4511]

very nice vid, i understand very well what you're talking about, because i own a Honda NC 750 S. I guess its pretty much the same awesome feeling cruising down the road on my bike as it is on your burgi! The only difference is that in my case I'm cruising in Germany :-) Drive save my friend!

[@eirebiker4275]

tullio serafin Honda NC is a nice bike.Be safe,enjoy the ride!

[@greetenmax]

You are a very wise man. Thank you!

[@johnhodgkinson4311]

great Video mate, I have the K9 and love it, very economical and plenty of power, great on the motorway. 😊

[@chuckdilmore2040]

Good review - thanks, man!

[@leehartung2549]

I just rode one that was for sale. Turns 7500 RPM at 75 MPH. Motor screams at any hi-way to free way speeds. And the small tires make it twitchy at higher speeds. 31 H P is not enough for 2 up touring. I wanted to buy it bad, but it just does not fit what I need!

[@nigelbourne5785]

Totally agree with your comments I'm getting same bike for commuting, it doesn't matter what you ride as long as you ride keep safe youth from Mr Bourne p.s what's considered responsible mileage on the 400 when buying 2nd hand ?

[@eirebiker4275]

Hi Nigel. It's hard to tell with mileage as no two bikes are the same, and I suppose it depends on how they were looked after and ultimately the price. They have a good reputation for achieving high mileage if serviced correctly. If a bike had a full thourogh service history then mileage in excess of 30k wouldn't bother me. Then again the same bike with no history and 30k could potentially have had a hard life.

[@nigelbourne5785]

@@eirebiker4275 thanks for your advice, no or little service history walk away same as a car. I plan to do most of the bike maintenance myself to keep down the cost do you have any videos on this thanks again Mr Bourne.😜

[@rmezei]

Excellent honest review. Thanks!

[@eirebiker4275]

Thanks!

[@Trust1878]

Good video. Do you still have the Burgman? Any more videos planned?

[@eirebiker4275]

Trust1878 Hey thanks.I think I have some videos of the Burgman on a computer somewhere. I don't have it anymore, currently have a BMW GS 650, I like to try lots of different bikes. The Burgman was great though, such a comfortable bike!

[@algesbrek5695]

it's a cruser styled MOTORCYCLE, PERID6

[@kabuteyemmanuel3050]

Smooth ride

[@greetenmax]

Haha The Bikers don't salute me...well I have also one and I do not salute the Bikers....they are so arrogant.

[@nandrocec]

Hello .. I'm holding Burgman 250 AN..I do not want to buy 400. when I get retired for about 5 years .. I do not want to cruise around Europe
