Congratulations on your New BURGMAN. 

I'm pretty sure you'll love it.

I hope to see you logged in over at  BURGMANUSA.COM

Take Care,

Doc

Very tempted to ride my Forza over here to Tim Horton this morning as I await the delivery of the Burgman......but Forza is sold and keeping away from Murphy's law! So it stays parked. LOVE that scooter....wonderful color, super fun.
Zombie, the Mrs Stig decided I seem to be having too much when I ride off on the Forza....caught her trying on my son's helmet.....
She wants to come with me.
Forza load limit is only slightly more than my LIKE200i.....Burgman will easily carry both of us on my backroads rides ( ain't never going to see the Stig on an interstate)
Also, going from a LIKE200i to a 9 Large Burgman was not going to happen until I learned to take distant rides at speed, something I still won't do on the LIKE200i.
The Forza showed me it was possible and fun.
I'm past full SS age....and hope to ride off into my sunset yrs with my Cutie......but ain't retiring as long as my daughter is in Christian school ,(you ever seen the payments for that!?)
OK, sun is coming up so time to put the visor down and go wax the Forza for the new owner tomorrow.

Now I got it!

That's a nice thing you are doing for her. Bigger bike, and all

I always kept a shovel, and bag of lime next to a tarp in the living room. Just a reminder who is really the boss in my house. I would have told her to go ride on her boyfriends bike, but that's just me.

You're one of the good guys Stig! Kudos!

I have no personal experience with the Burgman beyond sitting on one and riding with others who had one.  I can say that it is a roomy bike with plenty of space for two people and that the underseat storage is supposed to be the most of any scooter including the Burgman 650.  Posts from Burgman 400 owners are pretty much all positive.  I'm sure it will be great for some two up rides. 

There are a few issues I have read about such as the stock windscreen but the good thing about this scooter is that it's been out for a while and there is plenty of aftermarket support.

I know how Vampires work. You have to keep that "blood bag" handy.

You all (vampires) might have the rest of them fooled but not zombies... we know.

Congrats on the 20 years!!! I'm on 7or 8, and haven't seen her in 6-7. Three marriages combined didn't total 20.

Maybe I should have dug a secret hole instead?  Who knows... F it! I like the dogs better.

Damn... thought we could fool Zombies, too .

Secret holes are great .  Dogs help with keeping the sanity thingy .

Not to poo poo on your new purchase in fact I wish you lots of joy but.... I once asked my shop what scooter was the worst to work on and every guy said hands down it's the Burgman. I know motorcycle mechanic generally dislike working on scooters so if scooter mechanics hate it it's gotta be a pain. I hope it was just bias and not truth though. You might find out the up keep to be pricey.

The Burgman 400 is no harder to work on than than a Kymco xciting 500.
Both are the same basic design, twist and go, the Burgman just has more body panels to remove.
Once you move up to the Burgman 650, that one is a whole other can of worms.
Electrically controlled 6 speed transmission, auto mode, manual paddle shifter mode, power mode.

Ride Safe,

Doc
