Hey Guys,

I currently have a Aprilia Atlantic 200 and I am looking to upgrade to a Burgman. I am trying to decide between a 400 or a 650. I am looking at using this as a daily commuter that uses the freeway 15 miles each way.

I am interested in the following:

They both seem to be great prices to me, Andy. But I would have to go with the 650. The 400 really is a good bike and will get 10 mpg or so better than the 650 will but I really do not think that after putting a few hundred miles on that wonderfully smooth and rapid 650 that you are going to find yourself wishing that you had bought the smaller machine.

As long as that 650 was fixed properly, and it appears that it was, that would be the one I would get.

Between these two bikes, I would get the 650. The 400 was changed and improved in 2007 and the bugs were worked out by 2008. If you get a 400, I would suggest a 2008 or newer. Most of the early issues with the 650 were worked out by 2006 but there were small improvements each year. Having had both, I consider the 400 as a large scooter and the 650 as a medium sized motorcycle.

The 650 looks like a good deal if it was fixed properly. I just paid $3,300 for an 05. 10k miles is nothing on that bike. The pictures LOOK great and there's several K miles left on the tire tread.

I agree with Osbornk, the 400s 07 upgrade is worth Holding out for. Get an 08 or later if that is what you want.
