I need a second vehicle for work. I travel 80 - 90 miles a day, can't afford gas prices and just found the Burgman. I just found it today and it looks like everything I need. I am also in az, so the heat here can be up to 125 in the summer? Does anyone have any reccomendations on purchasing (I'l check some of the other boards too) and know about riding in the heat?

thanks

Hey Baggy. I'm in Phoenix, and ride about 40 miles per day total commuting to and from work. Feel free to send me any questions.

Here in South Texas we often run 100+ days together. There are any number of "things" on the market that will help you .
My self I cover up with light colors and drink plenty of water and use a Mesh type motorcycle jacket .
By the way helmet color really does not matter because of all the insulation they use. 8)

The Burgman seat gets hot if left out in Arizona sun.

Baggymacaw:

Here I am. I'm not clear on whether you already have a Burgman, or you are seriously contemplating buying one.

I've spent some time in Phoenix and know about its summer heat.

I would advise mesh jackets, perforated gloves, etc.

Wear a good quality, vented helmet.

If you have trouble finding a Burgman, email me.
