Suzuki Burgman 650 Review

Описание: Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive Review

The Burgman 650 is a luxury, large-capacity super-scoot, with a strong, reliable 638cc parallel-twin engine, putting out 54bhp. It has an automatic gearbox with manual override and sports mode, and can touch 120mph where permitted.

The chassis is well up to the power, and handling is very good for a small-wheeled machine. The brakes feature a good ABS system, the suspension has preloads adjustment on the rear, and there’s better ground clearance than on many smaller scooters.


It’s the bodywork and equipment that clinches the usability deal though. The Burgman 650 is bigger than the Yamaha T-Max, and has both better weather protection and more storage space under the seat. The top-spec Executive version has an electric windscreen and powered folding mirrors (which makes traffic-splitting easier), plus heated grips and even a heated seat. The pillion accommodation is also expansive, especially with the optional top box back rest.

The 650 Burgman is a little on the large side for really hardcore city traffic-jam duties, but the good steering lock helps get through many gaps. Add hard luggage to the underseat space and you have the luggage capacity of a small sports car. As a middleweight luxury tourer or extended commuter, it makes a lot of sense.
