Aside from the list of familiar suspects (helmet noise from the badly designed windshied, diesel sound, speedo error) my biggest bitch is the Burgman's sensitivity to side winds.
Down here in the desert wasteland of southern Arizona we get some high powered winds - 25-40 mph - and especially at this time of year. I rode over to Sierra Vista yesterday in a vicious crosswind and felt very insecure. The Burgman reacted most unpleasantly and my co-riders who were following me, all guys on motorcycles (Kawasaki W650, Moto Guzzi something or other) remarked at how the Burgman got tossed about.
Of course they got moved around also, but to a lesser degree.
I really don't like being slapped around like I was yesterday afternoon.
Any thoughts? Any similar experiences?
