Hello All,
I joined about a month ago in anticipation that a Burgman would follow me home one day soon. That happened yesterday! I'm now the 4th owner of a 2004 Burgman 400 with about 13,000 miles.
This forum is a great source of information and helped with my decision to go with a Burgman. My funds were limited so I really had to shop for a used scooter. I briefly considered a Honda 250 Reflex but after reading the threads on this site I decided it was just too under-powered for two-up riding on the interstate. This helped narrow my choices down between older Burgmans, Majestys, and earlier model Silverwings. FYI, I'm looking for alternative transportation too get rid of our second car. The Super Scooters seem to fit the best at least for myself and where we live.
Thursday I found the 400 Burgman about 200 miles from home (about the limit of my travel distance) with some body damage from first owner but otherwise in great shape. Worked out a price which was about $500 lower than two similar 400 Burgman's without body damage and a deal was struck.
The ride home yesterday (Saturday 12/28) was just on the fringe of being too cold but I made the 200 miles just before sunset. Love the Burgman and look forward to the help from the forum to keep up the regular maintenance myself.
