Hi,
I purchased my '03 Silver 650 Burgman at the end of January 2004. I use it for commuting to work in Boston. I have ridden it almost every day to and from work (except for snow days).
The bike is impressive in its performance on drive conditions. The area that suprised me is its wet weather capabilities. I have ridden now in ligt and heavy rain showers (even wet snow that was melting on contact with the ground) and the machine stayed glued to the road, whether in a straight line or on curves.
Has anyone else ridden in the rain? Are scooters in general better able to handle wet conditions than regular bikes? My recollection of wet ridding (some 15 years ago) was that you parked your bike at the hint of rain.
Have the tires improved that much? :shock:
