I purchased my Burgman 400 in October 2013 brand new from the dealer. I was a little intimidated by the heavier size of the 650 so I went with the 400.
I added a Givi AF266 to my 400 and really like the bike. Still, I want to buy another bike this spring and have it down to the Burg 650 and the Honda CTX700 DCT. My dealer has a leftover '13 650 for a decent price which puts the cost of the CTX700 DCT or Burg 650 as a dead heat.
I'm leaning towards the Burg 650 because I like my '400 so much but the Honda CTX 700 DCT looks enticing as well.
Have any of you considered the CTX700 DCT? How does the HP and top end of the CTX compare to the 650? Would resale of the Honda be better than the Burgman 650?
I'm going to keep the Burg 400 for now but may end up selling it if I like the 650 more than my 400.
My three main complaints about my '12 400:
1. Stock windshield was terrible- Fixed issue with Givi AF266
2. Not enough HP- I would like another 10HP for highway riding
3. Suspension- not the best on crappy roads
Any comments about the CTX700 or Burg 650 concerning items 1-3 are greatly appreciated.
