Midi Scooters

[Speedyian]

Now that I have turned 70 I am thinking of giving up the motorcycle. However, giving up two wheels is NOT happening, hence the reason for the thread. I am thinking of maybe a Burgman 400, fast enough for the motorway two up, comfortable for probably an hour at a time, good weather protection for the odd times we do get caught out in the rain, and most importantly low seat height.
Opinions please, thanks in advance.

They are great scooters. We have a Yamaha Xmax 300 and that is also quite capable of what you want.

I had a 650 Burgman stonking scooter loads of torque and as comfortable as an armchair, never gave a bit of bother

I've had twelve autos over the years including tmax's, Gilera Nexus's and others. Don't forget the Forza 350 and the Beverly (350/400). Which are nice medium sized scooters. Best to test ride a few.

Are they not affected by cross winds?

I never had that but I nearly always drove it abroad on decent weather days

Had "Ingrid" a Burgman 400 some years ago and loved it. Brisk, loads of storage under seat and was great to ride. Wanted one for the van but too long and too heavy, not that you notice the weight until you push it! Now got a SH350 for tender duties in the Moho and it is good but not as good as Ingrid was.

I’ve had 2 Burgman 400’s and a 650 Executive. Excellent bikes and very comfortable with high cruising speeds.

Changed from a Triumph Trophy 1250 to a Forza 350. Love the scoot. Great weather protection with electric screen. All day comfort 85 mph and 85 mpg.

Crickey, that’s some change
