For those who have been thru the buying process for their burgy, can you pass along any tips to get a better deal. I am in the earlier stages of looking, but the urge to buy is GROWING.

Also what accessories would you recommend buying for the first time scooter rider? I have had other "cycles" in the past, but nothing like the burgman

Sorry if this is a repeat post...searched... but didn't find anything

No problem, finding old posts can be challenging at times.

Your best investment outside of the bike itself would be in the safety department. To me (just my $0.02 here) every new rider should allocate approximately $1k int budget for 'safety' stuff like:


1) The MSF Course
2) A good full-face helmet
3) A good armored leather jacket
4) A good armored pair of gloves (especially for those whose jobs, like myself rely heavy usage of hands/fingers like on a PC, art etc)
5) A good pair of leather boots
6) Pants, leather or if not thick denim riding jeans like Draggins or Icon
7) Back Protector / Spine Armor

Hope that helps ...

ksmall1998,

You will ultimately here about Mail Order Suzuki's that "save you hundreds" that you'll uncrate yourself and assemble.
Don't Buy One Of These!

A Suzuki motorcycle cannot have a valid warranty
unless a Suzuki authorized dealership assembles and sets it up.
There are forms to send to Suzuki after setup, so then a mail order gray-market
seller would have to lie on the form to get you your warranty.
