Saturday I brought home a new scoot from Simply Street Bikes of Eden Prairie, MN. I did load it in the bed of a F150 so my friend who was driving me up there would have company on the return trip. This scoot is perfectly capable of riding it on the super slab, or any other county or state highway (my preference on any bike) but this first trip was the only time I expect to see it taking a ride rather than giving one.
The Burgman 650 is a much larger scooter than most people realize. 613 lbs wet and extremely low CG. The engine is under that hump between the dash and the seat with the gas tank and a 50 Liter storage box under the seat. I am considering adding a Givi V46 top case to this one to replace the pillion back rest.
The yellow one is my wife's Metropolitan that she rides all over the metro area.
