Top of my list now... is the Burgman 400. I think the 650 might be too much for my around town/ crusing needs, I dont need to be able to do 90-100+mph on a scooter anyway!! The 400 took me up to 80+ with no problem. The main problem for me is to get most of the scooters in a line up, and drive them all before I forget which one felt the best for me, Heh! . Problem is, one dealer dosent handle all the makes and models, it makes it hard to get them all together for a test. Its difficult to get a feel for a scooter if you cannot drive it 10-30 miles and see how the seats feel and what your fatigue factor is. Going around the block a few times dosen't do it! I am thinking maybe the 500cc scooters may be a compromise, with comfort and gas mileage ? Anyway, hope the Exciting 500i gets to one of our dealers here in Denver so I can try it out! Meanwhile, I will be out there on my B&W150 dodging the Blue hairs and Soccor moms while they are text messaging as they go down the highway! Oldhummer
