AN650 Suzuki Exec

[insane1]

any one on here got one of these how are they to ride over long distances as im looking at getting one as soon as poss mayhaps meet up for a ride and compare bikes as i have the an250 would like to get the 650 exec any trusting person on here would let me have a play with their exec on a ride .mayhaps even form up a burgman club. .

[xwhatsit]

Ah, the Burgman -- the sharp handling and character of a Goldwing, with the proven reliability of a Suzuki.

Certainly a young man's conveyance:

Apparently they drink more quickly than a dipsomaniac at a distillery. And the digital display system is possibly a bit over-featured -- one may not particularly care to know the time of the next high tide at Guadalcanal or moon rise at Ulan Bator.

ive got one not an exec but same anyway,good i reckon on long trips im used to sport bikes but found it ideal on long trips,dont know fuel consumption cause i dont worry about it,easily cruises between 100-140kmh,did one non stop trip nelson-whangarei and many tauranga-auck trips,brakes are good without abs and it handles quite well really but not that hot in slow traffic

[insane1]

need to find someone in aucks who would let me have a play on the exec version if poss.

[insane1]

ok then lets open this up a bit to include silverwings /t-max/majestys etc all big scooters 500cc+.need to find someone who will let me have a play bfore i buy my new scoot.

would be keen to hear your opinion Insane1. Always fancied a bigger scoot but it is sometimes hard to get your hands on one to evaluate it.

[insane1]

2 years ago one of the first bikes back from the Grand Challenge was a 650 burgman....

[Hitcher]

It was a Burgman 400. And it was first home by a reasonable margin as well, not that the Grand Challenge is a race.

It was impressive none the less.... I agree regarding the race bit by the way, think I was about 3 hours slower than the burgman....

One of the guys a work has brought a suzuki skywave 250 (jap version of the burgman 250 but with a slightly lower seat height for obvious reasons ).

Really quite happy with it.

You'll have to give us a full report!
