Advantages: Comfortable quick and economical

Disadvantages: Some maintenance items difficult to complete

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 fan filter, having to remove a good deal of the side panels to gain access, the 2006 model is well laid out and now sports a tachometer on the easy to read dash layout, the introduction of electronic fuel injection has made the bike more responsive and smoother in acceleration, larger fuel tank and better economy are also a bonus, whilst the redesigned front and rear lights that are linked into the ignition switch are a nice improvment.
Having now run in this 2006 model on an 08 plate I am planning a trip to Riva Del Garda in Italy in the summer, and have no doubts regarding the bikes ability or reliability to get me there and back safely, I will give you a review of my trip on return EAGALEED
