Hello,,
I'm Steve,i'm a maxi scooter rider but alas not a Burgman,the 650cc Burger is about 6500.00 GBP which comes out at over 11,000.00 Dollars,i have not seen to many 650's over here but there is a number of 400's around.
I ride a Piaggio X9 125cc,i will be upgrading to the 250 or 500 in the new year once the restriction on my licence finishes.When you do your test on a 125 machine over here you are restricted to a 125 for 2 years,then you can upgrade to whatever you want.I could of done a test to get me stright through to a big machine but as it is my first time on powered two wheelers i thought it best to stay on the 125 and gain experience.
An owners club for the piaggio x9 has been formed over here http://www.x9ownersclub.co.uk its no different from this site in a way really,we have a forum were all sorts are talked about,ride outs arearranged & technical advice is avalable from those members in the know.I was out in the States during September for 3 weeks,I started off in Seattle and worked my way down to Fort Bragg,i did see a few maxi scooters,but the large motorcycles seemed to the most machine.
I shall spend the next few days trawling my way through the postings.
Regards
Steve :roll:
