As a new member to this group I have read daily over different postings of various " glitches" that have been discussed over both the Burgman and Silverwing models.
I have read consistently about the " dieseling" sound of the Burgman on this forum and about the " squealing belt" and "rear drive leaks" of the Silverwing forum.
Both are very noticeable postings so it appears that "every" owner is at least somewhat aware of these.
I do not presently own either but find that I have become very interested in the models but must say that I have now reserved any real purchase since I see constant threads about the problems and ( in most cases) the lack or response on a real " fix" to their problems.
I understand that these are relatively " new" designs and are complicated in their parts. Any new models/designs are usually going to encounter production problems and with more parts/complexity of these bikes it can cause " a problem" to sometimes be over discussed ,even if one member makes note of something.
I read constant threads about the pleasure/satisfaction of riders owning their Burgmans so they seem to be great bikes. I read more of their positive notes rather than their negative ones.
My concern is the investment of several thousand dollars for a Burgman
if it has this " problem area" and the manufacturer has not taken some forward steps to correct them.
My question is if owners are pleased with their purchase and the bike's performance as a whole? Would you purchase again knowing of these areas of concern? Or to wait till "new models" hopefully correct a problem?
Thank you,
Dennis
