Hello everyone, my name is Ed. I've been lurking and learning here for a few months, and would like to extend a personal thanks to all those that take the time to share their vast knowledge and experience. This site is what convinced me a Burgman 650 would suit my needs right down to the ground. I recently sold my 2000 Honda Shadow Tourer due to arthritic hips, knees, and feet ....and hope a scooter will be easier on my 57 year old body parts.
I may be jumping the gun a little by posting here since I haven't actually ever ridden a Burgman. After looking at photos, and talking at length with current owner.... I've given a verbal handshake over the phone that if bike (2009 650 Exectutive, w/8000 miles) "rides-out" o.k. when I get there, it's mine. We are both in the Central part of the country that is somewhat paryalized by an ice storm and has put our transaction on hold. Hopefully, sometime next week we can do-the-deal. If this deal doesn't work out.... I will find me one!
I plan to change all fluids, and do the recommended mouse proofing screens, and give her a general going over. Any other suggestions, warnings, or reccomendations for this model would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
