Suzuki should consider bringing out a "mini Gold Wing" model Burgman. A Burgman with all the GW equipment, (i.e. saddlebags and trunk - removable?, large windshield - adjustable, larger comfortable seat for the driver and passenger, cruise, ABS option, optional intercom/CB/radio, etc) might be able to cut into the "very lucrative" (read $$$$) Gold Wing market.
They may also need to increase the displacement a little deal the additional equipment and modify the suspension some. However, the displacement and suspension changes may not absolutely be necessary.
Demographics being what they are, a number of GW riders may be interested in a smaller Gold Wing.
Suzuki, go for the Gold. Do it before Honda modifies their less desirable Silver Wing and locks up the niche.
