S**t, I've gone and done it now...

I'm not getting one. It pushes up the revs at which it takes off. I spend most of my time filtering past cages, so would end up coasting more.

If you've got money to burn on it, I've found a Givi screen to be worth its weight in gold.

could you post a photo of the screen please and any comments on it - i.e. where you got it from, fitment, price etc. I find the wind is deflected directly on the helmet making it noisier than my naked bike. It was the reason I almost didn't buy one. thx. tim.

We burger riders take a bit of flak but they're good bikes. Today I took mine to Helensville via the Old North Rd and then on to Shelly Beach. Handled it with no problems at all. Got mine in Dec 07 and have now done 2000km and never regretted buying it and at 75 mpg it's not too bad. Comfortwise it almost as good as my old BMW ( as far as I am concerned, others no doubt will disagree). I really like the feet forward cruising position, good for the long distances.

A bike rider at work busted his left ankle pretty badly last year and since then has had trouble working the gear shift. It was so bad he sold his bike (Triumph Bonneville). I've been on at him to get a maxiscooter, but he wouldn't consider it, never, not under any circumstances. Now he's discovered he can cope with the gear change on dirt bikes and has got himself a posy Suzuki 400 supermoto. It's a great pity, because he would look much cooler on a Burgman!

Maxi's in general pretty much rock, I just had the pleasure of riding a Honda Silverwing 600 up to leigh... an absolute pleasure to tour on, comfortable and grunty... enough. also had no probs filtering through traffic on it, felt like riding a tricycle getting back on my UZ haha

That almost deserves a big red bling

NOBODY, ever, at all, looks cool on a Burgman

If you think looking cool is important, and can't ride a real bike, get a Vespa

Heh. Unless by "much cooler" he really meant "much less like he gives a toss what the fashionisti think."

Not only that, but dorks in dayglo wave at you.

Not everyone that has a scooter can't ride a bike. I choose to not ride a bike to work every day. A maxi scooter uses half the fuel of a half decent bike, costs thousands less to buy, doesn't require maintaining every weekend, doesn't eat a rear tyre every fifteen hundred miles, is comfy for the missus to sit on the back of for two hours every day, is automatic (making filtering far easier) etc.
And all this time, by bike is waiting in the garage for the weekend, when it can be ridden without worrying about how much sh1t it picked up on the road during the week.

A screen? I wouldn't charge.. But could supervise you doing your own
It's really not a hard job at all.

They're $220 from Motomail. Far quieter, better weather protection, and slightly more mpg, if you worry about things like that.

[Cache Wraith]

Well I've never ridden one, and I'm guessing they are a pretty useful set of wheels. But, no matter which way I look at it...........IT AIN'T COOL.
