| Any Burgman 650 Rider that switched over from a Honda Silverwing or vise versa? Impressions? Comparisons? Contrasts? Just Curious.

| Yes, the Honda is junk compaired to the Burgman. Honda= belt drive, one front break, smaller wheels and handle bar mirrors. Check out the Burgman and don't forget to look at the gear drive!

| Very few people have enough miles on the Burgman to give it a thumbs up for reliability. Anyone that has recorded 10,000 miles has had theirs in the shop for problems. Many people have Silverwings with over 10k miles and no problems. Though I like a few mods on the Suzuki, I would hold off untill someone makes it to 10k and reports no problems. I have over 8k on my Silverwing and it has been flawless.

| | Silverwing is a nice bike but for the money and power, the Burgman will smoke the SW. Personnal, I work for HAM and I still bought the Burgman 650!!! |

| The Burgman is superior but they are both a joy to ride. I had a Silverwing for 3 years, only 2000 miles. After I traded it in the dealer said that it needed a new belt. The Burgman has plenty of power for two-up, lots of lockable storage.
Burgman has no bright, visible color options and has a useless option on the ignition to leave the tailights on which leaves you with a dead battery if you aren't careful. The Silverwing offers ABS brakes and a far superior helmet clip as opposed to an awkward, archaic helmet cable on the Burgman. Other than that, I love it!
