This is the second Burgman AN 400 I have owned, the first was a 2003 model and I was the second owner from new, having not riden bikes of any kind for a number of years due to illness it was a pleasant experience to find such a comfortable and responsive scooter/bike, 12 months later I took the Burgman to Catalonia, and through to Barcelona, on holiday visiting my children on holiday in the Pyrenees, the bike fully loaded with camping gear and all my other kit never missed a beat and did a total of 3,200 miles in 14 days, the only down side I have found with the previous and my current AN400 (2006) model, is the difficulty in removing and cleaning the drive belt cooling ...

After six weeks riding this grate machine on and off, I have made a number of changes to tailor the bike to the way that suit my height 6ft 182Ids.

The first thing that struck me about the Burgman when it was delivered was that it looked beautiful. I had chosen black as the colour as I thought it would compliment the chrome parts and I think it was a wise decision.

The other small compartment is also tiny and DOES NOT LOCK which makes it less than useful. Weather protection is probably average for this type of machine and ... Read the complete review
