Dealers were at Suzuki’s Milton Keynes head offices over a three day test session commencing 18 May to ride some of this year’s model line-up.
Amongst the bikes on test was the latest version of the Burgman 650 Executive ABS which now retails for £8799 (previously £8175). The new Burgman has been restyled to make it look less bulky and changes to the engine and transmission are said to improve fuel economy by 15 per cent.
Introducing the new Burgman at a press launch in the Scottish Highlands earlier this month, Suzuki general manager Paul de Lusignan said there was a trend for owners of big capacity scooters to ride them for much longer distances, adding: “Given its price and specification, the potential is there for the new Burgman to capture a slice of the touring motorcycle market.”
