Just got back from a Suzuki dealer, the new 05 Burgman 400 will be here in November (Vancouver, BC)it comes in red color, a short windshield and no backrest.

What! No backrest! :shock:

Only in Canada you say! :lol: (hint: like the tea commercial)

By the way, did the dealer mention when the 650's would be out?

Yes, he did, 650's will be in March/05 for Vancouver, BC.
Not sure about other locations.

The USA Suzuki website also states that the 650 will appear in dealerships in March '05.

Sounds like ya'll are getting the Burgman 400 (Super street) "Type S" in '05.

Yes, you're right, the type S.
Short wind shield, NO back rest, red trim lines on the seat.
Where you get that picture from?

Darn, I was hoping it would be out in January like last year.

I guess on the bright side, I'll have a couple of more months more time to save up. :wink:

Where you get that picture from?

It's from the Suzuki Japan website. If you look close, it says Skywave rather than Burgman on the side of the bike.

Only because I have too much time on my hands (for right now) :wink:

Is it suzuki.jap.com ?
Since "05 comes with a short windshield & NO BACK REST, I hope
the price is cheaper than the '04.

Nope. The address is :
http://www.suzuki.co.jp/

Since "05 comes with a short windshield & NO BACK REST, I hope the price is cheaper than the '04.

Going by the prices on the Suzuki Japan website, it should be priced a little bit higher than the non-sport 400.

 

[billmeek]

Just looked up the prices on the Suzuki Japan site:

Skywave 400
639,450.00 Yen (5,980.33 US Dollars / 7,331.92 Canadian Dollars)

Skywave 400 Type S
660,450 Yen (6,175.60 US Dollars / 7,570.94 Canadian Dollars)

 

[billmeek]

One other interesting item ...

It looks like white will be a color option (at least in the Japan market) in the 2005 models.

Here's a pic of the 400 type S in white :

The 400 limited looks like it may be offered in the 2 tone white and gray along with the black and gray color option.

New price for the Burgman "type S"

According to CMG Online (http://www.cmgonline.com/bikes/buyers_g ... index.html)

The Burgman 400 now comes with a 'Type S' version which is supposed to be sportier as it has less plastic around the bars (from what we can tell) and will set you back another $100 on the standard's list price.

If I paint my wheels black will it go faster?

[ted clement]

Dave, only if you paint the body parts RED! :lol:

dave

No because your bike is now heavy than before.

I think the red "S" on the Japanese site is a 250. Nice looking bike. If you get the red 400 "S" in Canada, you are lucky to have a choice.
