One or two readers have commented that they doubt the Burgman 650 is as good as some other big scooters out there, like Yamaha’s Tmax or BMW’s C600 Sport. This week I’ll be finding out. I'm doing a group test of six big scooters, also including the Honda Integra, Aprilia SRV850 and BMW C650GT...

It looks like a moped but this electric scooter can legally be ridden by 14-year-olds with no licence, insurance or helmet, and carrying a pillion. The £850 Dayun Electric Tandem Bike has a top speed of 15mph and can travel 30 miles between charges. It’s legally classed as an electrically...

Every time I write a blog on the Burgman, I seem to become embroiled in debate with critics of the scooter. I don’t know why I feel the need to convince others to like it. It reminds me of that joke about internet arguments, where a wife asks her husband if he’s coming to bed and he says: “No...

I got a shock when I saw the price of new standard rear tyre for the Burgman 650 ABS Executive from a Suzuki dealer: £184 plus £30 for fitting. The first one has just been replaced during the 4000 mile service, which costs £135. So that’s a total of £349. I do 800 miles a week commuting to...

I’ve been accused of being over-critical of bikes in the past. A spot of rust after a couple of months and I have a whinge about it in print. “What about the positives?” a manufacturer once complained. So I’m not going to do that this time. I’m going to report that the Burgman 650 ABS Executive...
