I have owened my Burgman650 for 6 months. it is my first bike. When i took the safety course I had trouble with clutch/shifter etc, a test ride on the Burgman and it was a done deal. I have read several of the general information and want to add my 2 cents. First I don.t like the term BURGER, it sound as if we should all ride down to the nearest fast food place and hang out. I like the term BURGIE. In my opinion the windshield is not too short, but the seat is too high. I am 6ft and my head is completely above the windshield. I have leanded over about 2 or three inches , the wind noise through my helment goes away. By cutting down the seat it would seem to lower the center of gravity for even better handling-any thoughts. Custom seat would seem to solve two problems and expence taller Windshield and a more softer seat. The only addition i have added is on the back of passenger backrest i added a 3 by 2 extra brake light from WM about $4.00. It addes an extra bit of visibility. All cars have it-right. When I twist the throttle I hear from the front of the bike a little valve opening. This valve is at the top of the radiator. Anyone know what this valve does. Dealer said nothing to worry about. Funny I didn't hear it when I first got the bike.
