I don't really give any thought to what people may think. I also own a 2009 Dyna Super Glide and don't give much though to what people may think about that.
As for the Burgman, it's a super smooth interstate machine that will allow you to ride from tankful to tankful with little need for breaks.
Ergonomics are a subjective thing, but I have a 34" inseam and the stock seat never fit me at all. Removing the bumper resulted in a huge improvement, but everything really fell into place for me when I outfitted my bike with a Corbin "long" seat.
It's now the most comfortable motorcycle that I've ever owned.
I've owned a lot of bikes over the past 35 years,...cruisers, standards, sport bikes, big sport touring bikes and they all lost their allure after a few years.
I've owned the Burgman for four years and I like it better today than I did when I first bought it.
The Dyna Super Glide that I also own is a fun bike but it doesn't present the comfort, the effortless ride, or the convenience that the Burgman does.
My personal experience with the Burgman has been, it's so good that it has spoiled conventional motorcycles for me.
The stretched out riding position the Corbin seat provides,..the multiple foot positions from the running boards,..the automatic transmission,..once I got used to all of that, it's not as much fun to go back to straddling, clutching, and shifting.
It just seems too uncomfortable and too much bother to go back.
