2008 650 Burgman .Best bike/scooter ever! 

i rode that 650, used to be my aunt's, i love it the way it rides, gets 87 MPG, and it's smooth and fast too

After a wreck on a 150 (getting thrown off the horse), to get back on I found a 2006 650 on Craigslist. Took a while to get back on the bike. Been on 5 day trips to eastern Oregon, and down to Crescent City, CA and back up the coast. I get 43-46 mpg's in town and on highway. I love my Burgman, belong to the Oregon Scooter Club. Thinking of going to Yellowstone & beyond hopefully in a couple of months. Nothing beats the comfort & speed. Size matters! :)

Bryan, first Thanks for the video! I was wondering, 4 years ago you had 50,000 on this bike. Do you still have it and if so how many miles are on it?

had any transmission troubles, grabbing, slipping, etc? the 2007 was known for that.

Was that 45 mpg city or hiway? Did you finance it or pay cash...the 2008 Executives are just over $8,000!! I have a 2007 Burgman 400 and get about 48 city and 62 -65 mpg hiway. I rode mostly hiway yesterday for the first time and got 62 mpg, if I had rode all hiway with no stops (red lights) I would have easily got 65 mpg. I really like the 650 better but the purchase price and lower gas mpg makes it not cost effective for me anyway.

great vid,,,,,ive just bought one.....and i understand...... ive had and ridden alot of bikes in my time and this is definetely one of the best......

Do you still have this scooter yes or no please comment back thank you very much

Nice bike, congrats. I'm considering a Burgman 400 myself. I love my cheap china-scooter and the 250 engine does well enough for highway riding, but I think a Burgman 400 would be a nice compromise of a solid quality bike that's almost as good on the gas mileage. The 600's gotta be lots of fun to ride.

Thanks for watching fred imel! my transmission has over 50,000 miles on it. I always take it out of auto mode anytime that I can that keeps it from slipping every time you let it on and off the gas.

Hey - how is your mileage now? Surely it must have improved after the run-in?

Hey Bryan, I have the exact same bike. You sound like you're from the northeast. I am in Foxboro, MA. Where do you ride?

yes i have. you can put the stuff you need under the seat. and just go for it..

How is it a manual?? (ie. Where's the clutch/gear shifter at?)

Have you replaced the CVT "stopper bolt" in your 650 yet??? If so, what did it look like???

@BigBadFrost I think my 650 puts about 45hp. it runs great on the hiway without damage. you must have a two stroke engine in your scoot. i just turned 28,000 miles on my Burgman. with no proplems

it's about the same 45 mpg hiway if your nice with it! i put a bigger windshield on it and that didn't help gas mileage. how about yours. i have about 17,000 on mine

Be sure to wear a dark visor so people don't see your classic Burgman grin. I have a 2007 Burgman 650 with almost 30,000 miles. It's great.

It's nice on the hi-way because you can lock it into gear . unlike a auto.

The only thing it needs I think is some analog gauges. Like a tach and speedo. Otherwise a sweet bike.

@neppy503 it's good to hear your back on two wheels. Thanks for watching!

WOW! very impressive machine. ...thanks for subscribing too.

Go ahead and post it to my walkaround B. :). She is a real beauty, maxed out for sure! I'm getting 38. MPG avg, bummer, I better slow down then.

yes I would if i had the money. i have over 17,000 on it. and it's the best ride i've ever own!

Do you keep up to 600cc super sports?

I don't know about you, but i love me a "Baagman" 650 as well. Best Maxi-scooter ever made !!!

have you done any work to it?

Thanks! with over 40k and NO repair bills. only oil,and tires. going for 100k!

yes your right. but take one for a ride and you will see it feels like a bike!

yes i love the burgman.i think the speed i would have to get use to it.

thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. have a nice day!

thanks for watching

beauty

@kevinzhang9112 I'm sorry kev what do you ride? sooo if my Burgman is not a scooter what is it? why would want me to die? that's pretty messed up. I've owned a dozen street bikes and i've rode for about 30 years! how about your wise ass?

Thanks

Its a scooter..... a dirtbike cool , quad bike nobody would say something but hell its a scooter they are made for fatys :D

@borge225 well said. thanks for the comment

No..I have not.had a noise when in the corners. but it's gone some time ago..33,333 miles..

just like mine!

My stinkin' Ford Fiesta gets 42 mpg. The 400cc Majesty gets 60, but not much on the power scale.

@bryanb1973 I love my 2003 Burgie 650 to death, and it beats the hell out of "other" brand bikes. Burgies forever!

@ac3b1s Hi there i pull in at 68KG and i ride a 650 burgman take off the plastic its a motorbike with 53 brake horse power and end speed 190 kmh and i live in Germany and ride at that speed everyday when there is no snow on the road do that with a dirtbike

Its seems I replied to the wrong person. I was talking to the person below, I enjoy the video, because I'm a touring scooter rider as well. Sry for the confusion

@borge225 thanks for watching!

Nice bike. ( BTW, you suck!) j/k LOL One day I'll get an Exec but for right now I'll stick with my standard Burgman 650. I don't know but I think Clearview makes a windscreen with a vent for the 650 Exec. Your stock may suit you but I really like the vent on mine. Ride Safe

@lonlysendra i think around $8900.00 thanks for watching!

I didn't see anyone call it a motorcycle... they said bike.

@KAMIKAZEMW2QC it's a 650cc

no i used to ride a gsxr 600 and this would feel nothing like that

It's 45 hiway.

I have over 16,000 on mine with no proplems

@borge225 It doesn't take muchto embarrass a Harley rider with our scooters! :)

yep i have doged many of them.

@joecburke Hello i live and ride in michigan. sorry for the late response.

i hate to break it to ya but that isnt a bike... that sir is called a scooter!

i hate cars and trucks and seat belts! i had a 250 that got 74 mpg!

Hey, that's a scooter..not a motorcycle.

bagman...?cmon..

a ninja 250..

piss off! what do you ride? don't be scared of what you don't understand. put your bitch helmet on and i'll take you for a ride on the best bike i've ever been on. it's a Burgman. take note.

minchia, che brutto non si puo vedere,,,,

Why not get a bike instead of such an ugly ....
