Article on latest edition of the Burger 400....possibly significant things under the skin, but doesn't seem to make much difference from a casual observer.

That easier engine startup is billed as Suzuki’s Easy Start System, which will now require just a ‘brush of the starter button’ as opposed to holding the button down - handy if you find yourself frustrated at the thought of holding the button for extended periods of time in a day of scooting around.

Lol.

My car has that - depress the clutch and just give the Start button a single push and it turns over and starts. Quite nice - saves all the effort and difficulty of holding the button in and judging when to release it!

Haha.

In my youth I used to have to crawl under my car and short the solenoid across with a screwdriver. Sitting inside and turning a key seems like luxury.

I remember my dads cars in the 60s some had a starting handle just in case.

So there will be deals to had on pre 2021 models then....

oh, dual spark plugs. nice.

my old nissan 1986 720p pickup truck had a 2.4L 4 cyclinder with 8 plugs. still ran like shit. haha

"Stopping is assisted with a new, lighter (-36g) ABS unit, too."
cool, I can now carry an extra rag and not take the hit.

traction control is a nice edition.

"coming in matte silver, matte black, iron grey "

its like they bought these boring paints in bulk on sale. for years the same boring paints. they had a nice cobalt blue, a nice red and even an orange rust color for the limited edition.

im happy to see they realize there is potential in the bike and invested in it.

they need to hit that 650 with some sporty bodyworks. it looks too much like an old guy scooter. same size, just give it aggressive lines. I would buy a 650 (I never buy new anymore) but even buying used, you cant open up the cvt to inspect before purchase. huge risk for a massive bill.

Bike looks like it got some very needed upgrades.

B400 always seem to be lethargic on takeoff and hoepfully they improved clutch pads/bell

I am pissed they fecked up with the stva unit on previous gen. many c28 error bikes.

Laziest update I've seen oh and less bhp too! Price going up towards 7k mark outrageous!

Compare to the honda forza 350 released very soon after the 300 version and look at the differences!

Honda has electric screen, better dash 5bhp more and costs over a grand less!

Let's see what happens with the 650 burgman....it has alot of competition!
