Who paid these fuckers to give a shit review? The 650 Burgman is the best maxi scooter out there!! And giving a negative rating on the name?!?!?! Come on!!! What a weak ass review

CVT-continuously variable transmission. Congratulations on not knowing what it is and what all scooters have.

@TheSogmeister

what makes this review even more pathetic is that they are complaining about the automatic transmissions when it comes with a manual option. Every single male in this video is stupid as hell.

Seriously, this might be the worst review of any kind that I have ever read. Change the name, now that is the beginning of a great review. Can't find a gear, CVT doesn't have gears. I guess you people probably ride crotch rockets and of course this bike is not going to compare to them. I had a 1400 cruiser before this and I would ride the 650 every day compared to the cruiser. I think it's handling is great, the balance is low and it corners easier than any bike I have had.

@Loveya1038 Totally agree with you, however I want to point out that the Integra isn't out yet. They couldn't have tested it. Sadly. I'm really excited for it though too! Also, it is not a scooter in the usual sense because the engine is not mounted to the swingarm. It has a motorcycle style suspension/drivetrain but just a scooter style transmission and seating position. It should be an awesome crossover. Let me know if you find a review of it.

"The clutch is always slipping and it can't find a gear" Really!? A vehicle with no gears not being able to find a gear? Something is seriously wrong here. Quick! Send it back for repairs. F.Y.I. the only available scooter on the market right now with gears is the Genuine Stella (you know, the P50 equivalent). I've ridden it and a bunch others. I assure you, all other scooters "can't find a gear" for a good reason.

Suzi Burger! I've got a 400. I went from a 150cc chinese scoot to this 400 loafer. The difference was crazy. The 150cc was agile, and I could throw it around a lot. The 400 is like riding a cow. It loafs down the road. But, yes, it seems a lot of them do slippage or don't have immediate power. When I'm down the road at 75ph, if I want to pass someone, I give it the gas, but it's not an immediate take-off. And if you're gonna 2-up, def go with the 650.

I came off a harley 1200 sporty on to a burgman and I swear and it's way more "sporty" mr beardy guy has his head up his ass once you get to know the tranny it's awesome and i've scraped the center stand while cornering and never felt unstable on turns crank up the preload and front tire 41psi over 1000 km in one day and never even blinked!!! these guys suck!!

Rollers? Clutch slipping? Hunting what? Do you even know what a Burgman 650 is?
