Jim,

Can we assume by the thread title that the mags are saying the Burgman Executive will be released to North America in 2006 :?: :!: :?:

I agree with that JD. If I didn't have the 400, I wouldn't wait around either.

Jim,

The 05 Burgman 650 isn't available here for awhile yet and will be the one with overdrive. Only the 05 Burgman 400s are already on the market.

Jim,

Directly off that link, "Coming to your local Suzuki dealer in March 2005."

Jim,

Ah, I misunderstood. As mentioned elsewhere in the forums, the 2005 Burgman 650 info is pretty much a cut and paste of the prior years information. The Suzuki USA media site provides details of the changes or the 2005 models.

Yeah Jim. The emissions part is directly from the 2004 text. They also list the colors are silver and black when it should be silver and blue. I'm not surprised that Motorcycle Daily got it wrong too. I don't doubt their source within Suzuki gave them the wrong information. :?
