Stig, the purpose of the raised passenger seat is to give the passenger an equal view of what the driver sees, rather than looking at the DOT sticker on the back of the driver's helmet. I picked up my nephew from school on the way back from the dealership when I got it, he's 15 and rides dirt bikes. He said the seat was comfortable and with the sturdy passenger grips he said he felt safe, I do intend to get a sissy bar/luggage rack or large top box at some point. Once I read up on the design changes made to make the 07+ Burgmans that made them easier to work on with less frequent service intervals, that pretty much sealed the deal. Oil changes every 3.5k miles. I don't even have to check the valves till 14k. First service is basically an oil change. Gear oil doesn't get changed till 7.5k. Basically "keep it clean".
She is a big mamajama, but the more I ride her the more scooterish/smaller she feels. An my footlong subway sandwich yesterday fit nicely in the glovebox, almost as if it was made for it.
That last sentence sounded very R rated.
