First impression was "industrial sounding and vibrating" when coming off the Forza in comparison. Matt colors only available - for a guy who likes to polish his bike.roc54 wrote:Fish, I've heard very little negative about the Burg 400. By most accounts, it's an excellent, and easy to maintain, machine. If I get to the point of replacing the SWing in the future (assuming Honda does not start producing them again), the B400 would be its most likely replacement. There's a kazillion of them around and a very large information base about them.

Also, if you go on YouTube, do searches for Burgman 400 and Mic Bergsma (he's a guy who posts many videos about scooter maintenance and he did a bunch on the Burgman 400).
I think you'll be quite pleased with the B400...
So, when it "feels/sounds" rough and ain't shiny....it's going to have to grow on me.
Probably just symptoms of a bigger thumper.
Kids like the matt finish....but I'm a great grandfather.
Still enjoying scooter riding! :-)(but no excuse for the silly method required just to check the oil: hold 1/4 ton scooter upright and squat to look at the oil window. Seniors don't do squats.)
