Sweet set up .idk why people hate on scooters. Slim but extremely comfortable very little wind fatigue. low maintenance and plenty of storage what more could you ask for Beats my ninja I'm getting one of these.
What a helpful vid! Thanks for printing all of this out.
I've been thinking of getting the 400 Burgman, but regardless of what I buy, some of the gear you've listed seems perfect!
Greetlings from the Netherlands, love your Burgman, well done!
Wow what a sweet set up....greetings from England...
Amazing...!
I've a Burgman 400 k7 like this! Now I want to prepare it for a long trip in Europe. Your video helped me with interesting ideas.
Thanks ;-)
and greetings from Rome
Esploratorestremo so how was your trip in Europe ? Had any problems on the road ?
You're my hero.... You have set up the transportation EXACTLY how I would have....! Thanks for posting...! Gordon in Maryland
happy to help. Burgman still running great! let me know if you have any questions!
As a biker I'm liking these big scooters more and more...
You should. The scooters are the real touring bikes. Try it out, you get hooked on it in no time. What a $ 30 000 Gold Wing does, a scooter 400-750cc can do too.
Same here
I've had sport bikes and full touring bikes, but the only bike I want anymore is a scooter. They make riding fun again
you are an inspiration to the world. a true scooter enthusiast tourer. i been on a 400 majesty for 20g and i love them.
wheels dont matter, just how many miles you put on them. ride on!
@reveritus: 1) I really recommend the AF266 instead of the DT because in summer you remove the sliding part and make it a sports windscreen, with a lot of wind on your chest to make your ride fresher. 2) Buffeting is eliminated to the driver and reduced 80% to the pillion.
wonderful job of outfitting your Burgman
thank you!
I just got mine. Thank you for the ideas and demonstration.
thanks for stopping by. hopefully you can ride it around and beyond! let me know if you have any questions.
Nice set up. Ride safe brother
You got me some Ideas. I'm planing a Motorcycle tour from Finland down to Tunisia next year. You have there great Ideas on solutions that are interesting for touring.
Greetings to Chile.
if you have any ?s let me know, I've ridden thousands of Kms on this for multiple days.
That Burgman is tricked out, great job.
Awesome ride!!! Fun ride!!!!! Thanks.
I just bought a 2014 Burgman with only 4 miles on it. Thanks for the video!
that's awesome! I hope you get to ride it around a lot these days. be safe and let me know if you have any questions!
Nice set up! Thanks for upload!
+ScooterDano thanks for watching bud!
WOW, that's awesome. Safe riding. Cheers!
Safe ride bro. I see you next time. I love my Burgman 400
Ride On!
Great video! I will use it as a reference for my AN SCOOT. Thanks
thank you! let me know if you have any ?s! ride on!
Awesome review thanks for sharing from Australia
Nice, clean installation of all accessories.
thank you!
Very good presentation sir.
Grateful for your video Sir 👍
Nice bike. I;ve got a similar setup on my 400. Givi v46 topbox w/backrest and wire rack, fehling racks with e22 Panniers. Ram mounts on reservoirs with a TomtomRider 42 on one and Ram X-Grip on the other. Riderscan mirror. Denali Powerhub2 supplying power to my devices is switched with the ignition. Givi xs318 tank bag. Factory heated grips and handguards. BikeVis Led visibility lights with modulator. R&G Footboard sliders. LeoVince Turismo stainless exhaust system. Fender extender.
that's a helluv a setup there. how do you like the LeoVince? I put a Yoshimura time ago and didn't last long. I run Gerbings instead of the heated grips I find them better when its cold or doing night/mountain passes as I can plug the jacket as well, on favor of the grips, you can use them anywhere anytime.
Very good preparation and vehicle to make long distances, congratulations, greetings.
thank you!
I ride my Bergman 400 on the interstate most days and hit 80mph for extended periods and 90mph for short periods. It’s probably affected by the overall weight you’re carrying. I don’t have any extra gear usually.
Greetings from England! Great video and a great bike. Ride carefully and have a good time.
thanks for watching! have good winter ride over there!
No matter how far you ride your problems will stil be with you fix them today!
true that
what kind if problems
your english is very good.
Well done my friend it's the best video on the burgman from tim uk
thanks a lot keep riding!
good video, ty for sharing.
Great video
great video
Wow, you are definitely set to roll! I like to see another biker that travels on his scoot. Enjoyed your video. Ride safe my friend.......Mike
TinMan thanks Mike! I even took it to snowy roads, look up for burgman off road. Whenver I need to ride serious miles, the Burgman is my weapon of choice. Ride on Mike!
Thanks. Good information.
Just watched this video. Thanks, very useful. What make is your cruise control and where did you get it? Looks extremely neat.
Great adds to the bike. I rode my Piaggio MP3 500 down the Coast Highway from Salem Oregon to Santa Barbara California. GIVI topbox was useful but unbalanced the bike. Saddles bags are a far better choice, keep the weight low.. I wish I had the seat pad you have there, that was the only point of discomfort. Standard seat was good for about 4-5 hours at a time, only. I had my GPS on my bike but your rig is much more durable.
I love that MP3! lovely ride you got there. I agree with you on the saddle bags I like them better than being top heavy. The Airhawk is a really good add-on for long distance touring, although pricey, it is worth. Ride on Steve and thanks for watching!
great facilities!!!
Fantastic trip. I want one like that :)
go get your bike and do it!
nice brother. seriously considering selling 2 hayabusas and getting a Burgman. they are awesome for travelling. cheers for sharing. NZ
look into the 650 my buddies in the USA call her "half a busa"
@@BurgmanChile sure will. they are great for modding. huge aftermarket mods and such for the big scoots such as silverwings and so on.
yeah. so many aftermarket add ons that it gets dangerous for your budget. :)
I have honda silver wing 600 cc .. great maxi ever ... speed , comfortable, without any problems
SilverWing is an awesome ride. Put a lot of miles on it. stay safe.
Hi Burgman Chili
Very nice machine and a very good setup.
Can you upload a video on how you mounted the Garmin Zumo on the steer?
+Noebiwan Kanobi thank you. I will try, but it's super easy, just remove the plastic cover and you will see two nuts, undo those and put the metal plate on it. You may want to look for the holder, this is the one: SW-MOTECH Vibration-Damped Quick Release GPS Holder for Suzuki AN400 Burgman
awesome video.
thank you very much!
thank you, very informative
+Vim Hill you're very welcome. make sure you check out the series "living the dream" where I tour on that over the driest desert in the world.
You are the first Chilean dude i hearing speak a very decent English, probably good as the ex first Minister Bachelet . Cheers from an Italian-Chilean -Noruego , my borther. Have fun out there.
Maybe we get to meet one day on my way to Oslo.
@@BurgmanChile SI amigo se vienes par visita par aqui, you are welcome.
I love that setup!
apeirrron thank you!
Awesome!! Thanks for the tips!! May I ask where to find the body wind deflectors for this bike? I have the yamaha and would like to find those and the rad protector on the fenders please? Hope you will reply...thank you!:) happy trails.
late response, but I got them from the dealer in Japan.
Thanks for your videos they are very informative. I notice you have pillion cushions are you often transporting a passenger. Do you think the 400 is big enough to be touring 2 up? Thanks
we've ridden two up adding up 396pounds between rider and pillion plus the same setup shown in the video for 3000+ miles no issues, obviously the responsiveness is not the same, it isn't quick bike but once you get to 60MPH from there on no issues on backroads, twisties or highway.
Burgman Chile thanks for your reply
sure thing! if you have any question just let me know.
hi bro, do you have the color code of your motorcycle ? thanks bro
DUDE you are awesome , Do you have a follow up video, Tremendo video, Te quedo bien
+Carlos Pagan gracias! Hicimos una nueva ruta donde recorrimos Chile completo, revisa "Living the Dream Chile" czcams.com/video/zQ3AKrZGKTo/video.html

Ciao se posso chiederti dove hai comprato i due cuscini della sella , io ho un Burgman 650 e volevo comprare i cuscini dopo tanta strada fa male il culo, se puoi mi dici indirizzo internet. Ciao e grazie.
cerca Air Hawk su Amazon.it e motoracingshop.com, assicurati di cercare il airhawk passeggero.
Nice job m8
thanks for stopping by
Hola, me parece que eres de Chile, te escribo en español.
Que mejoras encuentras cin el filtro de aire K&N?
La única mejora es que ahorras en gastos de mantenimiento, porque limpias el filtro cuando quieres tiene mejor flujo de aire y es eterno. No ganas mas HP ni velocidad, pero el motor trabaja mejor. Atento a tus comentarios.
@@BurgmanChile graciss es justo lo que quería, tengo una Downtown 300 2019 y pagar 11mil pesos cada filtro me parece demasiado ya que por 60mil compro este.
Saludos.
Nice bike and setup too. Good continuation and thanks for sharing. What about the Burgman consumation. Maybe 5L in 100 km??
yeah, that's about right (4.5) for two up fully loaded using OEM 18gr rollers. I've tried the 14gr and it goes down to 5.5.
@@BurgmanChile Thanks for your replay and ride safe.
He hey, Fernando!
Can you please share little more info about your Denali's? I'm looking to buy this set as well. Are they good lightning up sides of the road? Do they blind oncoming traffic? Do you run them in city? You previously mentioned that they worth every penny. Can you share little more info please?
this are the Denali D2, fit perfectly without the need to buy any additional kit. I bought them from twistedthrottle.com. I have them set up to light the road ahead, so they I don't light the sides, you may want to twist them to do that. They are so bright that in two lines roads the oncoming cars may thing you are on high beams. The Denali D2 are meant for night riding they are seen during the day for not as much as other denalis lights as the D4 (bigger). let me know if you have any questions.
Hello Fernando,
Many thanks for your kind answer. I have few more questions.
1) You purchased just Denali's, without additional mounting kit, right?
2) Is it possible to rotate them to light up sides of the road without additional mounting kits as well?
3) Is it big difference between High/Low beam on Denali's? I mean when you switch Denali from Low to High - do you have same light zone, just brighter, or they do light up bigger space in this case?
Many thanks in advance. I guess you're only one D2 Burgman owner, so real feedback from you is priceless!
1) I purchase the recommended kit but I don't needed it.
2) No. you may need to modify the mounting kit for that.
3) I use them only on their maximum setting (it is not high beam but let's call it that) they are brighter and light further down the road.(I'd say about 200+- meters)
Sorry for buzzing you with questions, but TT is not answering my questions :(
Per D2 specs they say that beam Angle: 10° or 40° How do you change this angle? By switching low / high setting pressing button or you have lenses in your kit?
sure no problem! yeah, it comes with a button. The D2 does not support lenses. The button that comes with the kit only turns on the lights, you need to connect them to your high/low beam circuit to get them to work on both modes. I have them running always on high beam.
Cool!
Grazie da Tivoli, Italia.
I rode in Italy, check this out: czcams.com/video/p5EeA6JgiEI/video.html
Great job ! What was the best cruise speed you could get on flat road ?
It can be ridden 2 up fully loaded, 130KMH/80MPH. for days, no problem.
@@BurgmanChile Appreciate the reply - just what I wanted to hear !!
hello you, can you tell me please what "brackeway control" you use? big thank!
sure. it's the "Breakaway Cruise Control". brakeawayproducts.com
thank. It has two parts. How do I install the second part? To move the handlebars, is not it? it's not difficulto on burgman 400?
it's just one piece with a long piece that touches the front brake lever so when you brake it releases the throttle. It's easy to install just need to adjust it to fit your grip.
BIG Thank!!!
Great video... where did you get the side wind deflectors from?
there were straight from Japan, weblike dot net I think it was. They work well for the winter.
Do you ride with the seat raised up? I see that you have a lot underneath it at it was not latched.
Chad Bolling hey Chad, thanks for watching!. No I don't. The seat was open at that time because we were taking a break. We did had a lot in it though but always full enough to close it. For that ride we took unknown off the map/GPS routes so we rode prepared for the worst case scenario. that's why even had the air matresses and folding chairs in the pillion's backrest. let me know if you have any ?s. ride on!
hello mate , very nice video . where did u get ur wind side deflector ? , I need them for my burgman 650 regardskeep up the good work
I got it from eBay. its the Givi AF-266 but for the 650 it's the Givi D257ST / D263ST. Cheers.
+Burgman Chile thank u mate
+Burgman Chile
I just checked eBay and the result was the windscreen not the wind side deflectors
Thanks again
my bad, -i thought you were asking for the windscreen. The side deflectors are in Ebay, search for "Side visors Burgman 650"
+Burgman Chile thanks dude
Hey man. How many km's do you think these burgan's 400 engines can hold? Thinking of buying a used burgan.
If its been proper maintained, I can say for sure more than 100 thousand.
@@BurgmanChile tks for the answer. Have you heard something about the new engines on 2007 models on?
that's the one I I have 2007-2017 its the same engine. in my opinion bullet proof. The only thing I've done, its changing the sparkplug and checking the valve clearance. I use only Amsoil 10w-40 sythentic oil.
@@BurgmanChile But what do you think about the old engines? before 2007.
I haven't ridden it. you can check the comments on the burgmanusa forum
hola viejo. soy un argentino viviendo en australia y me acabo de comprar una burgman 400 2010 con 12000km. tiene solo un problema y es que vibra cuando acelero de estatico, cuando despego... vibra y se siente una sacudida. no se que podra ser. vos tenes alguna idea?
+Juan Manuel Rodriguez Vega Hola. Tenés que hacerle mantenimiento a la transmisión, seguro que esta lleno de polvillo que provoca esa vibración "jerky".
+Juan Manuel Rodriguez Vega revisa los rollers y la correra, puede que tengan desgaste.
muchas gracias. de todos modos soy un ignorante total en mecanica y prefiero pagar 300 dolares antes que intentar hacerlo yo mismo y terminar pagando mucho mas.
Igual voy a decirle lo que me dijiste vos. gracias de nuevo.
+Juan Manuel Rodriguez Vega OK. cualquier cosa me avisas.
Very nice video!
Can you please share what model of side racks do you have for Givi cases?
Алексей Панченков thanks for watching! the racks are Fehling code 7817 ST SU AN 400 Burgman Bj. 07
+Burgman Chile Thanks a lot! BTW, very nice and expensive setup you have :) I've decided to create side racks on my own.
Are AirHawk2 sead pads worth to pay as AF266 for rider or passenger? What exact version of Airhawk2 do you have?
I have the AirHawk 2, the medium cruiser (driver) and the Cruiser Pillion, they are worth only if you are riding more than 8-10 hours, specially in the heat. The windshield GIVI AF266 provides protection for both, rider and passenger I really recommend this, makes highway rides much more quiet and in summer you can remove the sliding piece and it becomes a short one so you get a lot of wind while riding in the city. let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for quick answer! I already have AF266 and this is awesome windscreen! I bought it after such comments from different users on BUSA.com and absolutely no regret about it.
Алексей Панченков cool, ride safe my friend!
Hola burgman Chile, soy de Perú, sabes, quisiera comprarme una burgman 400 pero hasta donde averigüe no hay en mi país y quisiera saber si en Chile lo podría encontrar para así yo también hacer un turismo por machupicchu y Puno, sería genial si ustedes hermanos chilenos también se unieran. ah si en Chile venden la burgman 400 a cuanto seria aproximado? gracias saludos desde Perú.
Entiendo que en Lima tienen Burgman 400 a la venta, pregunta en el representante de Suzuki. En Chile la 2017 sin ABS cuesta 7000USD
I like to keep everything stock.
Very jealous of your burgman
+Adventure Perspective maybe it's time to get one! lol jk
if only i had the cash
Scooters.make great touring bikes!
I have the Burgman 400. I could definitely take a long trip in it but if I was buying a bike specifically for long trips I would go with a larger size the burgman 650 or Honda Silverwing 600. Even though it is a little extra speed that is not the reason. The 400 is good for driving to work but on the highway if you are going at high speed for long periods and you have strong wind it can blow you around because it is not heavy enough. A few times driving home from work when it is very windy I have to slow down a lot which would be dangerous on open highway. The Burgman 650 is basically the same size frame but there is more weight on it. Although loading it down with luggage under the seat is probably a good thing to get more weight on the bike as well.
Don't get me wrong- I do like the weight. This is a good thing- you get really good gas mileage driving to work, the 400 has just enough weight so you don't get blown around going to the store. But open highway on a long trip is a different story. This is why they make the Burgman 650.
@@raymondkidwell7135 I'm doing all sorts of touring on a 2004 Honda silverwing currently. Take a look at my channel if you're interested
Nice scooter . How often do you have to change the rear tyre bloke. ?
I changed the rear tire after 21,700 miles and put back in the original Bridgestone Hoop really like it.
How many kms can you drive with a full tank?
@100KM/H about 280KM
where do you get the wind side deflectors?

“Hey, Mario, why u shouting, e?”
Why do you care, did your dad yell at you a lot?
mi motora se declina hacia la izquierda y no se que pueda ser me gustaria ayuda por favor🙏
¿es una Bergman, se ha caído o dado un golpe en la rueda delantera?
+Burgman Chile si la compre la compre con golpes alos lados es una an400 2013 y solo tenia 800 millas pense que era una buena compra por que solo tenia unos rasguños,pero no estoy seguro si se golpeo en la rueda delantera
+Burgman Chile sospecho que si se callo
+Burgman Chile que podría haces en esta situación?
pone el caballete central y mira los "front forks" desde abajo hacia arriba, busca si están doblados, si no hay nada visible, podrìa ser los rodamientos/ruleman de dirección. Realiza una inspección visual del RIM si tiene golpes eso podría afectar, cualquier cosa me avisas.
Question? where's the 55inch Sony and satellite dish... LOL
amazon prime is taking awhile, stay tuned! lol.
Well, not everyone rides a Gold Wing. Some people think a Silver Wing would be doing it too.
Ride safe habib
Enjoyed your video. I have a 650 Burgman and my son and I ride together. We rode our bikes to Moto GP last year here in Austin Texas at Circuit of the Americas. Your bike has everything but a TV on it, but hey, all cool stuff. I am an old fart and not into the high tech stuff everyone uses, except for Sena Bluetooth. That is awesome for rides together. My son also has a channel (HunterHonda). Did you install all of these accessories or did someone else do it.
+GLS hey there! thanks for watching!. I love COTA. def on my bucket list. I've installed all the gear on my bike, don't
let anybody else to mess with it. It's very nice you get to ride with your soon. keep riding together! I will check his channel out.!
l wanna go there from
Canada. ..long~way
LOL. ...
and I wanna ride there! so let's meet up half way! lol
That's great idea..
Keeping touch..Bro~
great set up, you just need a bigger burgman lol, 400 is too small with that kind of weight on it.
+jonathanbain14 thanks for watching! it seems small but It handles well with all that equipment. It's got a good GVWR. The Burgman 650 GVWR is even better than the Honda Goldwing.
400 can handle it fine. It's like a sportbike engine sawed in half. Loves to please.
jonathanbain14 w
Just put a top box and setup will be complete
Didnt know Tony Montana rode BUrgman- cool :)
right on chico!
what year is this scooter?...
2013 and still eating miles.
I've had several 400cc scooters to include the 07 & 09 Burgman 400 and an 07 Yamaha majesty. What I've noticed across the board with all three of them is that although they will get to 70 and sometimes a little over. It's not something you'd want to do for an extended period. I have had the 07 burgman to 78 while passing but it wasn't stable at that speed and wasn't much if any throttle left. The 09 and the majesty aren't any better as far as top end, they all seem to like to hover around the 60MPH range, as for touring I wouldn't say that you could run from say NC to MD at 70 before having problems. The scoots are great around town, but as far as what I've experienced although they do have highway capability I would say that you wouldn't want to go on a major interstate with a 70MPH speed limit for very long
I guess it really comes down to how comfortable you're riding it. if you check out the channel and look for "living the dream Chile series" I've ridden more than 3K miles in one trip where I did a tour in Chile through the driest desert on earth, off road, etc. I managed to cruise over 80MPH in 12-14 hours of riding daily. The load and the size of the rider can make some difference on how you feel on long distance touring, specially when you're riding more than just a weekend out. When you're riding any bike, it's certainly safer ride within the range you're comfortable with.
Sounds like for you, it's time for a Silver Wing.
I've ridden my 2005 Burgman 400 from Florida to Maryland going 80 mph and did 1000 miles in 18 hrs. The only concern was rpm's was too high for my comfort. Went to Dr Pulley Sliders and rpm's dropped 1100 rpm's less at 80 mph. Much better! I like riding around 70-75 mph and puts rpms around 6,000
I still think the scooter is more comfortable on long distances than a motorcycle. Do both and have the direct comparison. Ride save everyone!!
I've got both. I ride a Yamaha 1300 V Star and the Burgman 650 Exec. On long distances the scooter beats the cruiser bike all the time when it goes to comfort and usability.
why did you choose a scooter over a motorcycle?
I chose this one mainly because of comfort, I think to reach this level of comfort in a regular motorcycle you'd be aiming to a Goldwing or a Burgman 650 therefore if you look at the figures and run the math, you get a really good base package to build upon if you want for long distance touring as I did. Another factor I considered was the ease of maintenance which I run by myself. Btw I own a motorcycle as well.
all the so called REAL bikers laugh at scooters... but very few of them stay in the saddle +3 hours or more... i would tour on this any day of the week, the novelty of a sport tourer soon fades when your butt and arms are killing you.... and steady 75mph gets you there faster than 100+mph with frequent fuel stops.. also the scenery is more enjoyable at sensible speeds..and the burgman rear seat is great for passenger.... i am soon to get another maxi scoot ,my nc700x is great bike.... but i miss the fun etc..
real bikes are the ones how ride more miles in two wheels than four.
You remind me of my x-wife, go on vacation and pack everything but the kitchen sink.. lol to much junk..
very true, when you ride through the desert where there is nothing in days walking too much junk sometimes is needed.
Fucking nice ☀️ lol
dude, don't get excited, you only ride a scooter 😄👍
thats what she said as well.

Apuesto a que él habla una especie de español andaluz también, o puede ser portogés. Pero el problema es que él quiere que las personas de todo el mundo puedan ver el video. Incluso cuando el español es el idioma más hablado en el mundo, el idioma internacional es el inglés. Lo siento.
650 is so much better
agreed. maintenance is more difficult as well.
Too much weight on that
depends on how much weight is how much, the max gvwr wasn't even close. I light as well as the pillion. good speed.

yes
