Checked it out, it's the same one that's advertised on Biketrader that I'm hoping to viewMiseryguts wrote:Cheers Tallpaul will check it outtallpaul wrote:I've just spotted a 09 plate burgman on gumtree just down the road from you in Blyth,, its worth a look. http://m.gumtree.com/p/suzuki-motorbike ... 1039614326" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Notice nobody's mentioned the Piaggio MP3
Anybody got any views on that, looked at a couple of reviews and it comes out really well.

Re: What to buy?
Certainly attractive to car drivers but most on here are committed (or should be) scooterists so feel comfortable on two wheels.
They do provide a more confident front-end, but not foolproof as some people suggest. Downside is extra weight, so dented performance and higher mpg, but they filter easily and do add a little something to the riding experience.
The 250 is under-powered so you need 400 or 500 and your budget is unlikely to suffice, certainly worth a test ride if you can get one, the newer Yourban might suit if funds permitted.

Doesnt one of the 400 Burger models guzzle oil and has killed a few engines because of it?

I don't regret buying my YP400 for what it's worth.

Good - there don't seem to many Maj400 owners on here, so it'd be good to hear more of your views and experiences with it.smeghead wrote:I don't regret buying my YP400 for what it's worth.

Any chance of a brief summary of what it does and doesn't do well.

Hi Miseryguts, I recently posted a review in the Scooter review' section if that helps mate.
