Good review mate. I have a burgie 650 09 model. I have owned and rode many bikes and scoots in my life. The burgie is something else. Would not swap it for anything else and may get another one once my burgie goes to scooter heaven.

I've got an '18 model 650 & it's the best bike I've had in 43 years of riding. That includes the BMW's I've had - an R1200RT, K1200LT & Several K100/1100's. Also had a Honda FJS600 Silverwing & a 400 Burgman. I wouldn't swap my 650 for anything else.

I drive a 2009 Burgman 400 since a year, but it lacks torque and acceleration for me, love everything else. I think I'll try to find a Burgman 650 to see if the torque and acceleration feels better

During the period the Burgman 650 AN Executive was sold in Australia it was in my opinion the benchmark for maxi scooters. I know the Aprilla 850 was bigger and the competition from BMW, Yamaha, Kymco and even Piaggio was to be considered but the Suzuki was better speced. The engine was plenty responsive and more powerful than the Yamah coupled with the CVT with manual and power options it was quick off the mark and could hold its own on the open road with other bikes. The manual option gave a 6th gear for increased fuel economy which was handy for long rides. There was plenty of storage in the dash and under the seat and a top box completed the rig. I know the T Max has more tech now and a bigger engine than earlier models but I expect that had the Burgman still been sold it would have had more tech perhaps even an electric reverse which would have been useful on a 260kg bike. I especially liked the electrically adjustable screen. Here is my review kzitem.info/news/bejne/rbB6zW2DiJN9e4Y One thing I don't like about the T Max not having ridden it is the placement of the mirrors they are a long way from the rider and it looks like adjusting them while riding would be tricky but necessary if you took a pillion.

The Mercedes driver isn't an idiot, he just didn't see you because you were coming from the other side. Happened to me 50years ago too. Shot down a motorcyclist coming from across the street. A little more tolerance would be appreciated. Otherwise a very good presentation.

I own an 08 Executive. I recently test rode a T-Max, and I must say I was not at all impressed. I found it to be a nice bike, but it’s way overpriced, and wayyyy overrated. I’ll take my Burgman all day long and twice on Sundays. My Burgman is much torquier, much more comfortable, and more user friendly.

The burgman is hard to beat. The only one in the market is better than burgman is Honda forza or xadv 750 due to the dct transmission I think.

The Tmax has the same issue a lot of "hyped" brands like Iphone/apple have. They are overhyped and are a symbol of "status". I've had a Tmax 560 and it was performing really well but I still ended up trading it in for the Forza 750. The Honda Forza is at a lower price for overall more performance. Anyways at the end of the day all the high end scooters perform amazing and it comes down to personal preference but in my opinion the Tmax is no longer the "king" of scooters in this current year.

Took me two minutes of watching this to realise you’re so biased towards the Bergman so much so you’d think you’re getting paid to talk down the king (tmax). In the real world the tmax is on another planet compared to the Bergman it wipes the floor with it.
@rockyp3917

No mate, I am not biased. The Tmax is superior when it comes to handling and sporty riding whereas the Brugman is better at being a scooter, plush ride, lots of storage and overall smoothness. They are like flavours of icecream some like Chocolate, some like Vanilla. There is no right answer, it depends on your preference.

@@rainergieringer7600 Also: In Summe würde ich dann eher zum BMW tendieren. Der ist etwas leichter, kräftiger und flotter und hat ein deutlich stabileres Fahrwerk. Der Suzuki ist aber auch alles andere als schlecht. Seine E-Vario* und die Nasskupplung* arbeiten feiner, der Motor läuft erheblich ruhiger. *BMW nur Fliehkraft-Vario und simple Trockenkuppl. Die E-Vario des Suzuki hat allerdings den großen Nachteil, dass ein Defekt (Riemenriss) meist einen wirtschaftl. Totalschaden bedeutet. Ich würde es auch von Preis und Händlernähe abhängig machen. Bin beide lange gefahren (Suzuki fast 10 Jahre, BMW 8 Jahre). Abgesehen von den immensen Gewichten sehr spaßige bequeme Fahrzeuge, die so manchem Motorradfahrer ein ungläubiges Staunen entlockten...
