I talked to Knut Wagner at Max-Moto this morning. Max-Moto is the US distributer for Remus, and Knut is very knowledgeable about the products he sells. He had a couple of exhaust cannisters for the Burgman 650 on hand (aluminum and carbon fiber models).
I have aluminum Remus exhaust cannisters on my V-Strom, and have put 5000 miles on them. They are not the least expensive, but they are extremely high quality. They produce a nice mellow exhaust note. They did improve both horsepower and torque on my V-Strom (I had dyno tests run). I did not have to make any changes to the Fuel Injection settings on the bike. They do not require periodic repacking like many of the other aftermarket mufflers. I know someone in this forum disputed it when I made that statement earlier, but Knut said that in eight years as a distributor for Remus he has never had to repack one. He has a BMW K1200 with over 50,000 miles on a set of Remus mufflers, and they are no louder than when they were new.
The model he had in stock for the 650 is the Remus Revolution. It comes with a removeable "noise insert" so that you can adjust the loudness of the mufflers - a nice feature. You do have to cut the stock muffler off, since it is welded to the exhaust pipe, but Remus includes measurements and instructions for doing that.
The price on the aluminum one is $360. Max-Moto pays for shipping. I ordered one. I'll post pictures and ride results when I get it installed.
If anyone else has an interest, contact information is:
