To all those compareing cycles,
If you feel that the 650 is too "lardy arse", too heavy,then don't buy it, by something else lighter.
I read all these posts of people saying..."if it had this and that and this and that..."
if you want a tmax, then buy one. If you want all the bells and whistles of a goldwing, then buy one. If you want a lightweight nimble bike, then buy a 250 cc scooter.
Not every bike will be perfect for everyone. Thats why there are so many of them made, different styles. I have a intruder 1400, and for the most part, I love it, but it doesn't have what the burgman has, so its up to me to make a decision if I want to keep the truder, or get a burgman. The burgman WON'T have the same ride and power the truder has...and the truder doesn't have the protection the burgman has.
yah, I agree that IF the burgman 650 had a 760 cc motor in it, and had a cd player, and a CB unit. and a coffee cup holder and and and...it would be the most AWSOME bike on the roads, but it doesn't, and never will. If I wanted alot of power, and all the goodies, I'd have to buy a goldwing.
Everybody talks about how wonderful the burgman is, how solid and well built it is. Well, maybe thats the reason why its so HEAVY , 'cause its built like a tank, built to last forever. There is a reason why heavy machinery ISN'T made out of plastic, its got to last for a long time, so its' made out of heavy material.
Not criticizing, jsut giving food for thought.
