Hello Guys & Gals well I finally did it after much soul searching but mostly because of all the great info I got here to help me move towards getting me a new Bergman 400 yesterday 7-27-2013 I picked it up & took my first drive on it & what a pleasant surprise it was, I must say it's as good as you all said & even better then I expected. I thought my 86 Helix was a wonder scooter to me but you really have not lived till you take your first ride on a Bergman which was very supprising since it was so smooth & comfortable especially on my back as it has lots of support. I went down the rode but only a few miles before I took it back to the dealer to ask them if their was something wrong with the speedometer as while riding I looked down to see it reading 80 mph and it just did not feel it could be accurate but they looked at me & said their is nothing wrong with it I was actually going that fast, well I can tell you it in no way felt I was going that fast it was so smooth & quite riding I am going to have to be careful till I get used to it to keep it in the speed limit. It has far exceeded my xpectations for a scooter. I have owned many Harleys in my 50 plus years of riding & they all felt that you were really moving at 80 mph with the noise & vibration & just your sensory perceptions tell you your going fast but my Bergman gave me no such warning till I looked at the speedo & it said 80 mph on it, I would have and in fact did think I was only going perhaps 45 or 50 but 80 just seemed unreal to me. Iam going to sell my Helix as I thought I'd need it for around town but now I know I won't be riding the Helix any more, so I must find it a nice home. Well everyone that was my first ride experience on my 2013 Bergman 400 or any Bergman but I hope there will be plenty more & yesI am smiling. I'll put pics of it up soon, I even had to write my Harley riding brothers & tell them how great it was & if they ever get a chance to ride a Bergman they will rearly if at all ever ride their Harley again as they will be ruined for life, I know I am a believer now in the Bergman. God
Bless & thank you for all the info here before & now in my mew purchase.
