Great video... Best of luck with your scoot...
Thanks, glad you liked the video. I appreciate it!!
I just picked up the 2022 Burgman 200, it rides like a Cadillac compared to other scooters and motorcycles I’ve ridden. Great suspension, excellent cruiser. The CVT is the smoothest I have experienced, it feels like you’re driving a regular automobile. The new Burgman 200 is a powerful vehicle, you can absolutely ride two up after the break-in period. I can’t believe I was actually thinking about getting the ADV 150. The 2022 Burgman 200 is expensive but only $700 more than the weak ADV 150 which is grossly exaggerated and overpriced.
If the adv150 had the B200 power it would be one of the greatest ever built I think. But they missed that opportunity at 150cc
@@DirtRider22a Yeah, I don’t understand why Honda didn’t at least use the same displacement as the new 2021 Honda PCX which has 157cc. The ADV is 149cc. I agree, a bigger displacement in the ADV would have been a smart move, but it will also put the ADV out of a lot of folks price range in the states.
but can you go offroad with the burgman? I'm undecided about the ADV150 too, it only does 65mph , burgman is looking like much better option
@@embededfabrication4482 I'm not into off-road, I bought the Burgman for cruising/commute. If you're primarily interested in off-road the Burgman may not be for you. As for the ADV 150, I have come across one person who has one, he doesn't really like it. He's lucky if he gets up to 57 mph. You have to consider rider weight and other factors. He also said forget about riding two up on the ADV 150.
Same here brother. I feel exactly the same on my 2022 Berg 200. It’s amazing and wonderful and the best thing I’ve ridden, it’s perfect for my needs and wants💪
Thanks for the information! Very little content on the 200 so your work is a big help to those looking at this scoot!
Thanks, feel free to check out my other videos on the Burgman, I have many more current videos on it. Thanks for the support 👍
Woot!! Welcome to the Burgman family!
LOOOOOVE my old used Burg400!!!
The Burgman 200 is an awesome commuter machine. Plenty of power for 90% of the roads and killer MPG's! My 400 so far is averaging 55ish MPG. But I run it pretty hard and mostly 2-up riding as well 😆
Good vid dude.
Also, the speedometer on my 400 is off by a solid 5 MPH @ 70 MPH. So 70 indicated is 65-66 MPG GPS verified.
@@coyote102076 yeah I was pretty happy to get such a clean low mileage one for that price. Now if it would just quit snowing here in Alabama so I can ride it in to work lol
Burgman 200 is a great scooter even for the highway. Sorry I traded mine in for a 3 wheel motorcycle. Thinking of buying another Burg 200. The only problem was getting that gas cap back on. Good video. Like to see more on your scooter.
I’ve got around 10-12 videos on it, feel free to check them out 👍
Gas cap.....u just need to position it by looking at the underside of cap....then it clicks right in.
I enjoy your videos, I ordered me a new Burgman 200, and I hope to get it one of this days.
Awesome!!! I’m sure you will enjoy it 👍
For the future buy yourself, a set of canyon dancers, which go on the handlebars they’re tiedowns take the weights off the end of the handlebars first, then put the cups in the handlebars and tie it down accordingly
Got to have the chicken biscuit for a successful trip.
Update: I found a 2018 Burgman 200 locally with fewer than 500 miles on it for $5000. They must hold their value well. I left it where I found it, btw.
i think you did great on that baby burg. i found a silverwing with 109 miles on it and drove 300 miles one way to get it. and love it and if you love your bike it was worth the drive. i now have a honda trail 125 and looking at baby burgs. thats why i'm watching videos to see what people say about them and so far i have found ZERO bad said about them so i think i'm going to get one. thanks for the video.
Great machines for sure
Did u get yours yet?
@@marinson no i ended up with a honda ADV 160
Is why i bought mine(fuel prices) , a 2020, in 2020....was thinking of selling it, but after watching this.......and the political situation pretty tentative .....maybe i keep it, unless someone wants to give me no less that 3 for it. At 70++ miles a gallon....its a no-brainer.
I have an added LED red light bar attached to the box on the rear.
I’ve had that on my klr650, along with a strobe module. Definitely helps get peoples attention behind you
Interesting how it works off pavement. Not really single track but fire roads or farm roads. Curious about your opinion…
Not as good as the Honda adv150 would. With a different tire it might do ok
Hey. Fuel prices went up :)
You are correct lol
Hi great show Tell me how does it compare with the 250cc master Johnway I need to upgrade a little I hope
I have a lot of other videos you could watch on the Burgman but I can’t compare it to the bike your asking, I’ve never seen or rode one of those before, sorry
Great bike I'm looking to get a scooter because the price to have it on the Rd and gas prices
Saves me about 2.1 gallons a day compared to commuting in my truck
Questions for you, Do you feel any vibrations in the handle grips or seat or foot rests at slow or fast speeds ???
Dead smooth at all speeds for me, I’m use to larger motorcycles that do vibrate a decent amount so it might be harder for me to realize it. But compared to any motorcycle I’ve owned it’s way smoother vibration wise.
@@DirtRider22aThank you very much for your reply.
Hey wait if you rode to work did you have to still park in lot x around the side of the building lol? I'm kinda bummed also I thought maybe this was gonna be a scooter channel. You could get a couple others and make a scooter gang dude.
You also wheelie everything you ride so I'm waiting to see the burgman 200 wheelie vid, just kidding man
Unfortunately we do still have to park bikes on the other side of the plant lol and as much as I would love to wheelie the burgman I just don’t think it will ever happen 😂
Very good and detailed video 📹👌 wish it was in 4k .. am trying to buy one what do u think this one or regular motorcycle like rebel 500 or 300
I owned a rebel 500, it was a nice little bike. Just depends on what your wanting it for. The scooter is a much better commuter because of all the storage but a rebel would be more fun in my opinion
Seems to be very economical. Did you have any problems with it from the day you got it? Thanks for sharing it. :)
Never had any issues, put 8600 miles on it, all trouble free
@@DirtRider22a How many miles are getting out of a tank? Thanks man and drop by, you may like my content. :)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace it would get about 75mpg average for me (mostly highway riding back and fourth to work) and a 2.8 gallon tank so you can safely go 180ish miles before looking for gas
@@DirtRider22a This is quite a lot. Will seriously consider it, it seems to be a very good option for a daily use during the summer time. :) I just subscribed to your channel. :) Keep up the good work.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace thanks, I’ll check your stuff out as well 👍
How is the burgman suspension? I have a Yamaha zuma and its a rough ride . You feel every crack in the road and it adds up over time until you just about can’t take it anymore. I was wondering if its the same on most scooters or some are better
I feel that the ride is as smooth as any of my other bikes, I’ve had a zuma 50 before and on those little bikes there isn’t enough travel to really have a plush ride in my opinion. Similar to a Harley sportster for example, the rear suspension only has 2 inches or so of travel so it’s hard to expect too much from it. But I don’t find the suspension on the Burgman to be harsh
Hey was up bro. Having a hell of a time finding anything on CZcams about the the factory top case bracket on the back. How hard does it look to install your self ? I saw when you picked up the seat it was connected via four screws.. is there another mounting point ? Are all the mounting points using the already utilized holes that where used for the fenders ? Thanks.
I’ll go outside in a little bit and take a closer look and let you know
@@DirtRider22a greatly appreciated
Here ya go czcams.com/video/IoTFP3bTnH0/video.html
Nice scoot
Thanks!!!
I saw your videos and decided the Burgman 200 is what I need . Had a Honda 600 Shadow but at 79 I found it too heavy,, so sold it for a new 2022 200 Burgman. people say the break-in is super important so the owners manuel says half throttle for the first 500 miles.. What do u believe the speed is i should keep it under? Hard to judge half throttle as i drive.
Half throttle can be as fast as 55-60 on flat ground. I personally just break mine in by riding how I normally would. I’ve done that for countless other bikes and 1 other scooter and never had any issue. But half throttle in good conditions can easily yield 50MPH in my experience with my 200 and potentially up to 60 with a tail wind or slight downhill. Enjoy it, they are great little scooters 👍
Thank you for this video. I need to talk to someone who knows more about the Burgamn 200 than I do. My wife and I have rode motorcycyles for years but due to some serious health issues I'm scaling down. I thought about a Burgman 400 but can't find any late models with lower mileage. So now I'm looking at the Burgman 200. As I said before, my wife rides with me. I am not a big man, I weight about 175 and my wife about 130. Will the 200 Burgman still travel well at 60 to 65mph with both of us on it, or are we too much for the little 200?
I actually have a video about riding it 2-up, but the short answer is yes, it still does just fine. Me and my wife weigh around the same numbers and it was fine
@@DirtRider22a GREAT, thank you. I know where there is a decent deal on a 200.
@genegoodwin8925 I don’t think you will be disappointed
Hey dirt what top case carrier plate do you have? does it mount right up to existing areas without having to cut anything ?
It’s the Suzuki top case and mounting plate. Was already on it when I got it but it looks like everything bolted to factory locations
@@DirtRider22a ahh ok..yea man i ordered the parts.. everything came in except for the darn mounting plate.. been on backorder.. until who know when
hello, thank you for the your video. my question is how fast does this scooter reach to ?
83mph indicated, gps closer too 77-78
@@DirtRider22a thanks mate, i was planning to get kymco x town 300 but looks like the burgman with 200 cc is doing just fine getting up the speed on highway .
@@rimonshamon8607 it is plenty for my highway work commute, prolly wouldn’t ever get on the interstate with it though.
great video, you still have it? I need a scooter but cant afford one.
I do still have it
@@DirtRider22a Great to hear you still have the scooter, I am so jealous! Please donate it to me when done with it. Ha ha!!
Where is the battery located?
Under the right foot panel
200 goes more than 70mph.... mine does 76 mph top and i weigh 250lbs.
@@marinson I have a top speed video and get it to 83 indicated, around 78ish gps
@DirtRider22a ah ok. So I guess I'm not going as fast as it says on the odometer. But I would say....that because it's so quick, I never really notice other cars passing me very much. I'm in miami-dade county and the roads are filled with really bad, incompetent drivers. . . So I stay clear of cars as much as possible. Great videos.
@marinson they are more than quick enough for sure
I just bought a 2020 for 3k
@@Brad_Jenkins that’s a great deal!!!
Can you take this on a free way ?
Legally yes, it’s above 150cc which is the legal displacement for a “motorcycle” to be driven on the freeway. Has a top speed around 80
Women roofer? Equality at last?
Hey who u calling cheap company!!
I got the death wobble they say it’s the-rear.givi pack Mine is just like yours I checked air pressure still does it at do you have any issues either that ??
I never had that issue on mine
How tall are you ? I stopped riding my dr650 because my arthritic knee was hurting due to the bend. Ergo on this one seems relax.
I’m 5,7”
