This is a BIKE forum-how the f*ck would us BIKERS know what scoot is best? (unless we were buying one for the missus) get a trike, get another Zed, just DONT buy a bloody scooter for f*cks sake.

Ive read the brochures - apparently the suzuki is not a scooter its a new concept in two wheeled transport devices.(?)

Any chance of some pics. I'm not that familiar with the bike scoots.
There's a big scoot rider who signed up a while back. Pity, he didn't stick around.

seriously Zombie, why the fascination with scoots? I know I'm a fine one-every time I get bored I start thinking about a Wing/chop/trike etc Is it the automatic/lack of footchange that appeals?

Its the gearchange that has sent me this way. The big burger is a superb machine and with it's pretend gears option it rides like a proper bike thats actually comfortable. It goes well too. the engines in the frame and it has a proper swingarm plus fuel injection, computer controlled cvt and all sorts of stuff. Its a quality built thing too. It does however have the scooter style which is not to my tatse entirely but it makes up for it when ridden. I have been totally ignored by other bikers since using the 250 burger for the last few weeks and have decided i can live without the approval of knobs who ride four months a year and think their sh!t dont stink!
If manufacturers would put as much effort and technology into making cvt powered motorcycles then id buy one of them. But they dont...so i cant.
Riding is what its all about and i can enjoy myself on the big burger no bother and carry three alsatians under the seat so that cant be bad.
