SUZUKI UPS
THE ANTE
WITH ITS
MIDDLEWEIGHT
BURGMAN 400
they wanted to make it accelerate
with more authority, handle better,
soak up the bumps better and
stop quicker. The end result is
the all-new 2018 Burgman 400.
I've just spent the last few
weeks living with the new Burg-
man 400, and that includes
running errands around town,
commuting to work and making
one fairly long 100-mile haul on
the freeway, and I can confirm it
does all of these things remark-
ably well.
I
t might be one of the best sell-
ing scooters on the globe but
that didn't keep Suzuki from
giving its midsize Burgman 400 a
ground-up overhaul. It was time
for a change. With just about
anything, there is always room for
improvement.
Suzuki took the old Burgman
and figured that in order to make
it better, it had to be slimmer,
more comfortable to sit on, easier
to live with, and more appealing
to look at. Performance-wise,
