Just wondering. Why have you folks decided to ride a large scooter? What prompted you to made such a decision? I am just curious, because this is pretty radical, especially if you are like me and currently ride a mid or large cc cycle.
I ride a Yamaha 650 VStar Custom. Its a wonderful bike. But after test riding the Burgman 650 in Nov. I have not been the same since. Its all I think about.
Why? Its a beautiful machine, very eye catching.
Power. More power out of the hole than my VStar.
Smoothness, no vibration.
Brightlights
Comfort: Seat and riding position. Felt like I could ride all day.
Handling is super. On test ride I felt like I could turn on a dime, left or right.
Storage
Gauges. Lots of gauges. Its nice knowing how much gas you have left to empty without doing math.
Feeling of belonging. I have never pictured myself as a Harley man, just don't want to be a weekend leather warrior. Maxi Scooterman?
Yeah, thats me, dare to be different. When I ride my 150 Scooter its nice having people point at you & smile. That never happens on my VStar.
I would love for you foks to share your reasons and some of your "good" experiences.
Merry Christmas!
