I feel that "Burgman" has inherent masculine overtones, something that is very necessary for a new breed of crossover bike that could use all of the credibility it can get. Using "Skywave" is far too prissy for my liking, and would only make accepting a "scooter" as credible as any other motorcycle even more difficult by the purists. You might as well strap on a baby-blue helmet and clothespin a baseball card to your spokes. Skywave is just as bad as "Fairy-Dust" or "Pansy-Flower".
Yes, I KNOW image is not important to everyone, but as long as it is not, it will be issue for some people. The recent topic about a Burgman owner's run in with some egotistical HD riders proves that it's topic a lot of us think about. With that said, I'd have liked something better still than "Burgman", when I say that to people, they're nose tends to crinkle because it's such an odd name for a motorcycle. They could have used something like "Moccasin" or even "Colchicine". :roll:
