    Nice setup, a bit cluttered for my liking but still nice. I have the 2011 version of your Burgman and I love it. I am planning to add the Givi 56 liter top box and the 47 liter side cases as well (the ones sold in pairs.) then the 1,000 watt bluetooth amp with 4 speaker. I'm considering adding an air ride suspension system as well anda trailer hitch to pull a small trailer with when I go off on my long trips overnight. Like you I'll have a camera facing me one behind me facing to the rear as well as a mini cam monitoring the dash. I already have the same grips as you have with the throttle boss. I'm not sure if I want to change out the windscreen yet or not the OEM one seems to handle all my needs and in the down position it literally suck the water off my face shield on my helmet.

    Great looking bike. Saving to get the 650, got the 400 Burgman at the moment, just done a 1000 mile round trip over Christmas/New year with no problems, just fancy the larger version with the adjustable screen and a bit more power for acceleration.

    Great walk around and thanks for the links! Looking at the 15/16 model that you have. Thinking next spring for the jump into one of these. Questions?1. Have you had a living human passenger in the back seat?2. What is the bike rated for in passengers weight?3. You have had the ride now for about a year and the honeymoon is over, what honest cons about this ride?4. How would you rate the OEM tires and what kind of miles do you think you will get out of a set? When the day comes for a new set what are you looking at?5. Average miles per tank?6. How does the ride handle in side winds?7. Do you do your own service? Oil/filter/Air Filter/Spark Plug/LubeSorry for all the questions. Salesman will never tell you what you don't want to hear. It's all about the sale. So I look for people like yourself. Thank You! In advance!If ever in need of ATV/UTV info I would be happy to help you in anyway.

    I watched the entire vid. Well-done walk-around! Really enjoyed that. That scoot has so many cool features & seems to have lots & lots of nifty storage. I like the electrical mirrors and windshield! What's the longest you've done in a day of riding on it? Really like that you can put two helmets under the seat! Wow! Great vid!

      Thanks sweetie. Longest in one day has been 308 miles. This past June when I took my Michigan trip. Indianapolis,IN to Smyrna. The whole trip from my doorstep and back home was 1481 miles.

  • @ArcanePath360
    @ArcanePath360 Před 7 lety +1

    Sweet customizations.
    I like the idea of the stylus, however how can this work with gloves on? Most screens are capacitive touch which require your skin to be in contact with the stylus.
    Also, do the heated grips still work okay with those grips?

    • @theSMYRNAcowboy
      @theSMYRNAcowboy  Před 7 lety

      The stylus works fine. It has a rubber tip and using gloves is no problem. Just like you would use a pencil. Those grips that I put on, I don't think they would work with heated grips. Hope this helps.

    • @ArcanePath360
      @ArcanePath360 Před 7 lety

      Thanks for the reply. I have a mobile phone which I can't work the screen with gloves on, and I tried the stylus, but the way a stylus works is that you have to be transferring your touch through it, to the screen and it would no way work with gloves on when I tried. Maybe you have a pressure touch screen? I've seen gloves which they sell that have a stylus built into the finger which goes through the glove and touches your finger for this reason.
      That's a shame about the grips, they look really nice.

      @theSMYRNAcowboy  Před 9 lety

      Angel P. Glad I could help. In answer to your question, yes. I have two of them. One I bought thinking it would sync up to my Scala Rider Q2 but it did not. The other one is a Garmin Nuvi 350. It has a 3.5 MM jack for my Q2 so I could use that one. Looking unto the Sena brand communication systems. You can pair up as many as 4 devices.

    • @theSMYRNAcowboy
      @theSMYRNAcowboy  Před 9 lety +1

      Angel P. I have gotten it up to 94 on the speedo riding interstate but I didn't know I was going that fast so I quickly dropped it down. I don't use a GoPro. I use the Replay XD720 and the Sony Action Camera. Sometimes I will use the Tachyon HD for my JIC ( Just In Case) camera on the dash. Nothing happens, I just delete the MicroSD card and put it back in. I ALWAYS run a camera when I hit the starter button.

    • @theSMYRNAcowboy
      @theSMYRNAcowboy  Před 8 lety +1

      Yes you have to removed the case every time you get fuel. No big hoot. One key turn, push a button and it's off.

    Very impressive scoot, couple things , is it top of the line and why no cruise control ?....towards end of vid, near the rear passenger seat looks like a seat belt strap ? huh!

    • @theSMYRNAcowboy
      @theSMYRNAcowboy  Před 9 lety

      In answer to your questions, cruise control I think they should. Don't know of any scooter that does from the manufacturer. Of course you can add one on there meaning a "True" cruise control ( not a throttle lock) for around $600 dollars. Yes that was a seat belt. It holds SGT ALF in place with a small cat collar. I have a snap attached to the Top Box to hold his head steady.

      Handles great on the highway. I got a great deal on mine. Color at that price was secondary. Had 2 miles on it. Left over 2012. Got it for $6,200. My 2004 was black with blue metal flake. Good looking color.
