Hello all. This appears to be a wonderful community of enthusiasts. I look forward to getting acquainted with you and the Burgman.
I am totally new to the forum and am intrigued by the Burgman. I rode long ago and want to revisit the experience. I feel now is the time to look into a bike and ease into the season come Spring in Columbus, Ohio.
I am thinking the 400 is best for me (5'9", 180 lbs, 63 y/o, not a recently experienced rider but physically active and mentally alert). The bike would be a daily rider for my work commute (10-12 mi) plus errand, jaunts and occasional back-country cruise. I believe my wife would support the interest and may even try her hand at the handle bars (stranger things have happened).
I also have an MG & Austin Healey and a Mini Cooper S to scratch my "itch".
Any suggestions, advice, cautions or dissuasions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your thoughts.
