Yes, that is EXACTLY what I am saying! I need a scoot that can handle highway driving...hence looking at the 250's & the Burgman.
Note: my mother's starter bike (still has it) was and is a 650cc Suzuki Savage!

Yeah...sucks what happened to you. I drive for a living, and the idiocy I see is just stunning!

Wait...I have one person calling a 400cc Burgman a "great starter bike", and now I have someone saying that a 260cc BMS (which seems to be low-powered by 250-260 standards) is "scary". My head hurts!  (Also note: the used XY260 I am looking at is not EFI.) A 150 is pretty much out of the question, not being highway-capable. |

this will be my first bike, I have NEVER ridden before.
All Burgman 400's are EFI, right?

CL shows some used (2004-07) Burgmans in my price range...are these as good as people seem to think? Would a Burg with 10-15k miles be a decent choice, rather than a newer, low mile(1600) XY260T4?

OK, I need more coffee. I just saw the e-mail I got Friday.
It's a 2008, with about 1600 miles. Asking price is $2K.

So...how do I figure out what I should pay for a used scooter?
