Wait!
First lets decide WHY do you want a Burger?? Apart from not having one before. The Silverwing didn't float your boat, but will the Burger? Did you like the Tmax? The Burger has many good points but I found it a bit stodgy and lacking the fun factor (compared to the TMax) for my tastes.

part answer , the tmax was awesome but i did find myself chasing sports bikes ,an the reason for getting into scooters was to slow me down a little...(i did say a little..)
where as the 400 burgman an the sym an the x10 are quick comfy scooters....but i fancy a big twin again...hence 650 burger or an integra

I bought a silverwing about five years ago from bradford motorcycles, my mate took me over on his 650 burger, 100 mph two up on the m62 over to bradford, on the way back we swapped over, the burger engine is turbine smooth, refined and powerfull, more so than the silverwing(engine wise), I would say the 650 burger is the BMW 525 auto of the scooter world.(I still prefer the silverwing as im ,,, a honda man). 8-)

Hmm - maybe the scooters you are trying are too good? It's easy to get bored of total competence, perhaps you need some quirkiness to give it some character?

With that in mind I'd have a test ride of some smaller scooters, and something like the Vespa 250 GTS.

For my commuting I want a suitcase/armchair with every luxury, but for adventure I'd want something a bit cuter - I'd certainly check out some Vespas and also try a real flat-floor scooter - they are quite endearing IME. Also light weight gives a character all of it's own, nippy, fun, cheap.

pikey, the answer is yes, had new tyre on the last sym gts...an belt an rollers...did a lot of miles on that one.
globs, the vespa does nothing for me an just not for me unless just to go to work on.used my pcx for work.
