This afternoon I rode my 1400 intruder to the dealer and was able to test ride a black Burgman 650. Rode about 20 miles. Great acceleration and it is really fun to ride. I found the wind screen to be too low. The wind hit me right in the face. Quite a bit of wind noise. I'm 5' 9" with a 30" inseam and also thought the seat was a little high and too far forward( I checked, it was all the way back). Has anyone tried the laminar lip. It looks like it should help. Part of my problem may be the helmet. I wear a HCJ 23 open face with a flip down shield.
I also miss the back rest, I'm sure one of my first purchases would be the back rest made by the guy in Austin (can't find the web site now).
What type of saddle bags are being used? It looks like hard bags would interfere with the view from the mirrors. Still have not been able to find a cost for the top box with backrest--any suggestions? :?
I think my next bike may be a scooter instead of the Gold Wing. :?
