Of course you have to remember how big that "WIDE LOAD" tractor trailer was. Regular semi's don't have that much at all. I was climbing from48 to 65 to merge with traffic. Also, I have a bigger windscreen than the stock one. On the 400, you will have a little more turbulence than you would on the 650 because of the weight of the bike itself. Be light on the grips. NOT a death grip. That transfers to the handlebars and you go everywhere. Stay in the right track and you'll be fine.
I'm moving to Hawaii in Sept and just was wondering what kind of mileage you get on you Burgmann 630...I'm thinking of buying one. I enjoy your videos!
Some of us riders from the Burgman forum are planning a ride on July 12th. Going to start at Loveless Cafe around 8:00 AM. If you get your 400 by then, maybe I'll see you there.
I just wanted to thank you for all of your great videos here on YouTube. They have been instrumental in me deciding to pick up a Burgman 650. I'm about to pick up a 2003 650 w/ 1475 miles on it next week - got a damn good price too! Can't wait to get on the road. At any rate, thanks again for the great videos and keep 'em coming!
83 in April?!!? Wow!
How fast were you going?
I have a 400 and wonder how the wind turbulence on the expressway would effect my riding.

scarlettfloods617 3 years ago
Oh yea! :) Top end on the 650 is 110 MPH. The 400 is 90 I think. It will do 70 with two people on it all day.
Hope this helps.
