Burgman 650 - the Swiss-Army-Knife of Motorcycles
I couldn’t agree more with why bother with different bikes. The Burgman does everything I want of a bike today. I've had all the sports bikes, tourers, dual purpose etc., but the 650 Burgman is so good it's embarrassing. Being a bike shop owner I have to be careful not to enthuse too much though. "Bikers" still think scooters are for girls or boring commuters. Neither is true. Maybe we should refer to scooters over 300cc as "Scooterbikes". At least people will question what that means. Obvioulsy, if you are a bike enthusiast you will want more than one machine but in reality the Burgman really does the lot. It even gets respect from customers who know me well in the shop who I would term "real bikers", or maybe they are just being polite?! Probably.....
