2013 Burgman 650 in Scotland last week Suzuki GB has announced pricing and availability of the 2013 Burgman 650 ABS Executive, following the model's launch in the Scottish Highlands last week. Launched to critical acclaim from the assembled motorcycle press, the new Burgman 650 is competitively priced at £8,799,  and boasts heated rider and pillion seat, heated grips, electronically adjustable screen and fold in mirrors, over 50 litres of storage and three drive modes as standard.
Praised by many as the original luxury maxi-scooter for its smooth engine and rider comfort, the 2013 Burgman 650 also benefits from a host of technical changes to improve fuel efficiency and reduce clutch drag, as well as updated styling. The new Burgman is arriving in dealers now.
Suzuki's General Manager, Paul de Lusignan commented, "We're beginning to see an emerging trend in the big capacity scooter market, and find that a lot of owners are now not just using them for commuting or nipping around, but are actually using them to cover long distances and see them as very capable tourers.
"We decided to launch the new model in the Highlands as the location not only provided some stunning scenery, but also highlighted the elevated rider comfort and practicality of the new Burgman, too, a model we think is going to appeal to a whole new audience. Not only is the price very competitive, but the standard equipment levels are the highest on the market," he added.
