Hmmm! "Doing a Roger"
Is this a case of Rogering Roger before Roger Rogers you?


...just saying


As to bigger bike. Yes, the Burgman has a lot of plastic.

[andyscooter]

i know i am used to it though as a scooterist rather then a bike

will be great for the breakfast runs

to be honest can get everyone in my village breakfast as it will fit under the seat

I actually don't mind the Burgman scooters, they look like they'd be good commuters

Apparently they cost a fortune to service though.

[Mario_Kempes]

I'm on the lookout for a commuter but ruled the maxi scooters out because they look bloody hard to work on.

Plenty of mates have them and they're great at what they do. I love T-Maxes.

Good man, steady away now.

Co-incidentally I moved into a city centre office today and the Burgervan did indeed prove pleasantly capable. It's not actually that wide either, although it wasn't the most confidence inspiring while filtering down the white lines and cats eyes on the motorway.

Since I've never had a big scoot, does this mean I'm a "Roger Dodger" ?

Ride a 125 scooter as a part time job (pizza delivery). With a huge front screen they do offer great weather protection and I find them better in slipping conditions. They are also easier to ride and great on fuel.

Not sure what a 400 would be like though? Wouldn't the weight/cc compromise the nimbleness and fuel economy? They aren't very stable at high speed turning either..

Each to their own I guess. I'd probably own a very small and light scooter for the harsher weather because they do take a good beating also being automatic I wouldn't have to worry about locking the rear on downshift. But for an every day commuter I can't see a 400cc scooter being any better then a naked 500cc, with a big fuck off screen and muffs/heated grips. Probably weigh a lot less, provide better fuel economy and be easier to maintain/ work on too.

..I may be wrong about the mpg, I could imagine them being claimed to do silly high mpg. But I'm sure I heard 50 odd mpg real world on the newer models so nothing spectacular, not sure what the older models are like?

[andyscooter]

wont be used for everyday as i have a 125cc scoot for that

just a big comfy armchair that will do 80mph

ive had bikes but cant be doing with gear changes as i got lazy

would of kept the vespa but was crap on motorways as was flat out at 80 and would pull 90 on a down hill

and also can shove my fishing tackle in the burger so extra bonus

So, basically; you've got a rather poor version of an automatic car .
