Headed for the MC dealer today

[Jarlaxle]

Looking at a Burgman. 2012 AN400 ABS, traded with only 800 miles on it. Wish me luck.

Groovy.

Will need a test-ride to be sure...but yeah, WANT! If I can get the price down to something reasonable, SOLD!

Suzuki AN400 ABS:

That's identical to the one I looked at.

Its big brother, the AN650 Executive, first-ever electronic CVT:

Lots of complaints about the functioning of the CVT - always hunting for the right gear ratio and never quite finding it.

Yamaha T-Max gets better overall reviews.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Funny, but I have not heard one single complaint about the AN400's CVT. (Though I will say the 650's ECVT kind of scares me.)

I have not found a single Tmax for sale used in this area.

 

[DGS49]

The complaints about the CVT were in Youtube reviews of the AN650. Maybe the 400 doesn't have the same issues.

Did you get the scooter?

 

[Jarlaxle]

AN650 and AN400 use completely different transmissions.

My safety bonus for 2013 just came in...if the dealer and I can get together on a price (and I think we can), I'm buying it.

 

[DGS49]

Now THAT is irony: using a "safety bonus" to buy a motorcycle.

Priceless.

 

[Jarlaxle]

To get the bonus, I had to have a perfect safety record for 2013...and I did.

I already have a cycle.
