After several weeks of lurking I'm finally the owner of a 2004 Black Burgman 650! This is my second 2-wheel vehicle, the first being a 150cc Malaguti scooter which is now on eBay.
I'm located in Stamford, CT., and am 27 years old, so I think I'm on the younger end of Burgman riders. I was on the fence, but a recent trip to Florence convinced me that the Burgman is a mainstream vehicle, and seems to be hugely popular in a city where scoooters outnumber cars!
I purchased the bike from Stamford Motorsports, and was very pleased with the transaction. I got the bike down to $7300 and change out the door, and the salesman was pretty flexible. I was worried that I'd take a little flack for buying a scooter from what was primarily a motocycle dealer. The salesman was pretty cool, and then what really surprised me was the service guys.
This young dude brought the bike out, and had a huge grin. When he parked it and shut it off he said "These things are AWESOME, you're going to have a blast!" Then they brought over another guy to go over the bike with me. He was the typical tattooed, goatee'd service-type guy, but he also said "You're going to love this bike!" He went over the machine and really knew it well, which was impressive. He showed me everything from the ignition lock to checking/changing the oil.
I've only been able to put a meager 5 miles on the clock since I've been getting creamed with work, but tonight I'm taking the long way home if the rain holds off! If anyone in the area wants to ride, feel free to send me an email!
