hi guys, can u guys tell me roughly wats the market price of a FW plate K3 burgman400?

 

not more than $4k ba...

[eric78]

not more than $4k ba...

 

hmm...okie...was quoted $4.5k...seems like i gotto re-consider le..

[bigcow]

i saw this sales le...but not interested in red color...might be considering SW if cannot find a suitable burgman.

 

Btw compare SW wif burgman, wats ur personnal opinion?

 

wat u looking for in getting a scoot? since u said u no time to tour le..... and wat speeds u normally ride? currently the best scooter in the 400cc cat is the Honda Silverwing Euro 400. underseat storage quite reasonable, can store 2 helmets. only cons i can think of the the pick up & slight lousy FC of abt 20 - 22km/hr on city riding. at touring, will be worst. but this bike's engine is superb and reliable.

im more concerned abt storage space n oso the ability of travelling at least 120km/h at ease wif pillion. Presently im considering either burgman400 or SW400. Lookin at second hand cos scared of the depreciation of new bike...bro who-noe shd get wat i mean...

then u should get the silverwing euro 400. it runs smoother at 120km/hr with pillion. cos the top speed is abt 170km/h ++. the burger top speed is abt 150km/h ++ thus running at 120km/h with pillion is quite struggling for the bike which will be going at a higher RPM & sressful for the engine.

but the underseat storage space for silverwing is slightly lesser (only able to put 1 full face & 1 open face) than the burgman 400 (able to store 2 full face easily) and the burgman underseat storage is squarish thus easier to pack stuffs.

talking abt seat, posture comfortability & long distance on bike, the burgman is better.

talking abt depreciation on scooters, the silverwing Euro depreciates the least & higher demand. cos its a Honda (made to last).

I still like my burgman 400 cos of good fc of 25-27km/l. With the high petrol price nowaday every bit of saving on petrol is money save.

 

Maintenance using only one spark plug. When time to overhaul only needs to pay for one set of piston instead of two for SW.

 

But then everyone is going for SW 400. How to sell mine when the time come?

[paithorn]

no prob, i wasn;t clear... i had waited for the new shipment of Burgman 400 for almost 3 months....still no news and have now given up...

[william_liu]

The 400cc are still definitely on the roads in Singapore. As for dealers, really have to shop around and ask cos not many shops may carry this model.

[trenat]

anyone with any recommendation of a reliable dealer? no budget at the moment but would like to take a look at what the end goal is like

[paithorn]

I can be quite confident in telling you that there are no new Burgman on the market currently..... Suzuki agent is waiting for the next shipment with no estimated date

[trenat]

haiih... that is so chia lat. so much for testing out the bike. thanks for the info anyways. how come the supply is so limited?

[MaIkEr]

Any idea where u can get my hands on a servicing manual for the AN400K6.

Just changed my 1st fwd tyre and 2nd rear tyre n at the same time replaced the bearings. Noticed that the rear bearing is loose while the fwd still in good condition. Rear brake pad was also replaced with OEM type which cost $95.

Till now have change 3 times rear & 1 time front. i always use back the tires that came with the bike. Brigdestone TH01. Very EX.... But my favorite cos its really good on the wet. But very sad that the rear will square very easily.

Anything call me better la. somethings not nice to say in here.

I was using dunlop. Front changed once, rear twice all dunlop. Now using fatman tyres for the rear and please don't ask me for the price. So far so good, surprisingly, cos feedbacks prior to getting that wasn't really fantastic.

More often than not, if the calipers are well known brand, compatibles shouldn't be hard to source. Anyway, even OEM, KS didn't quote me as high as $95.
