Hey Dennis first off welcome to the board. As an owner of the 650 Burger I can tell you that the dieseling noise is not really a big issue. Now granted I havent put as many clicks on mine as many others have put on theres, I can still assure you that I would purchase mine all over again. Another note seeing how Honda Canada have'nt deemed the Silverwing worthy of introducing to the Canadian Market for some reason, may indicate that the teething problems they are encountering are more serious than the Burgs. Or simply they dont think there is a market here for them. I must also note that Suzuki Canada sold every Burgman unit that they brought into Canada last year. This was quoted to me at the Toronto Motorcycle show by the Suzuki representatives. The Suzuki rep also told me that out of all the bikes that they sold that the most favorable response or satisfied owners came from the Burgman buyers. Good Luck in your search for a machine! Feel free to ask any more questions.
