2018 SUZUKI BURGMAN 400
FULL TEST

stuff under the seat rather than
dealing with bulky side bags,
which is something a lot of other
Californian motorcyclists will
appreciate, too. It makes split-
ting lanes that much easier and
safer.
The dash looks modern and
offers all the usual information,
as well as a freeze indicator,
which I actually saw come on
once, and an Eco Drive Indica-
tor, that I saw all the time (almost
to the point where it's annoying),
to help you get the most out of
your precious fuel.
Okay, maybe this is actually
the best thing about scooters—
fuel economy. I comfortably got
200 miles between fill-ups out
of the Burgman and fill-ups were
only a few gallons! (The Burg-
man holds 3.2 gallons.)
Other nice features include
LED lighting, front and rear, and
a theft-deterrent ignition switch.
The list of color options, how-
ever, is short: white.
Yes, scooters might not be
the "coolest" wheels on the
road, but when it comes to the
Burgman I flat out don't care. I
just don't, mainly because the
Burgman is actually a hand-
some-looking scooter that is
ridiculously efficient to own and
super-easy to live with. And, it's
actually a hell of a lot of fun to
ride.
Okay, I might not be ready to
make a scooter my one-and-only
two-wheel machine in my garage
yet—number two, maybe, but
only if it's the Burgman. CN
Getting around
town doesn't
get much easier
than this.
