history

Until 1999 the term scooter was only used for smaller vehicles up to a maximum of 250 cm³, built in the style of a Vespa. With the Burgman AN 400, Suzuki heralded the era of large scooters. At around 200 kg, the AN 400 was the first heavy scooter, equipped with a 25 kW single-cylinder four-stroke engine with 385 cm³, and a continuously variable V-belt transmission that allowed a comfortable driving style (only accelerating and braking). Thanks to the stable chassis, sufficient engine power and increased comfort, the scooter made motorcycle-like driving possible for the first time, even in pairs and on longer tours.

The AN 650 that followed was larger, heavier and more comfortable for the passengers with a dead weight of 276 kg. It was intended as a long-haul vehicle and a sales success in the USA.

The Burgman 400 is now in the 4th generation. The first Burgman was the Burgman 250 in 1998 (largely identical to the first 400).

The Burgman 650 has been around since the end of 2002 (first model name: K3), in 2004 it was technically revised, equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and sold under the model name: K4. The 2006 version (K6) is equipped with an electrically height-adjustable disc and ABS as standard.
