Suzuki Burgman 650 2013: the first thing that comes to mind is comfort, followed by lussosità travel. It's been ten years since its predecessor, and Rome, the House of Hamamatsu arranged for us to test for the confirmation of then half already excellent. Test, as must be done for a scooter like this: over 200 km of trails urban, suburban, highway and mountain. Congratulations to Suzuki, then. Compared to 2002, but now the scooter is more modern in terms of design, the better equipped technically and with a very reasonable price (until 31 May 2013) which attracts a lot. In fact, it takes 9,990 euro F.C. for the Base version and € 10,490 F.C. for the version equipped, the Executive, the subject of this test.
MODERN DESIGN
The designers have taken over the whole scooter, giving it much more modern lines and shapes more rounded than the previous model, and in any case, less bulky and more streamlined. A care of its design, Yoshinora Kohinata, designer of the Hayabusa K8 and Gladius (2009) who defined it as: "We wanted to summon the lines that the idea of valorosità and elegance. His 'movements', reminiscent of silk. " And we can not blame him, the "jump", there was!
The front headlights have multi reflection, and make their appearance LED position lights. As in the previous model, the direction indicators are integrated in the mirrors. Magazines forms of the windscreen (electrically adjustable by a button and has a new template support) and behind it lies the cockpit-inspired automotive analog to digital. The analogue dials for the speedometer and tachometer are large and are "divided" by a digital display includes an odometer, dual tripmeter, fuel consumption indicators and fuel level, coolant temperature and the outside temperature, a clock, oil temperature gauge, a light oil change, an indicator of driving modes (for Drive Mode and Power) and a gear position indicator (for manual mode). Do not miss the dell'EcoDrive indicator, which signals the ideal pace to consume less fuel.
The seat has a backrest adjustable 5 cm, and the space under this (50 liters capacity) can comfortably accommodate two full-face helmets (this is the courtesy light). Speaking of rooms, we can not mention those sites in the leg shield, three (the two sides are more inclined to not to spill the objects acceleration), one of which is equipped with 12V socket for charging your mobile phone. The central drawer then has a further plug to connect the navigator. Magazine also the rear, always with two lights but by more modern forms. The parking brake lever has been repositioned (on the left side under the seat), the mats are new place to rest your feet and provide more grip with the soles of the shoes and the hull, where the legs are space as the pilot's feet on the ground, have been restricted to allow a greater movement. The mirrors retrovistori, are reclosable electrically. For the Executive version we then grips and saddle (both driver and passenger) and heated backrest for the passenger. Three colors: white, black and gray.
ENGINE
The engine, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder is a cylinder capacity of 638 cc 4-stroke, with double overhead cam head. The electronic injection system associated with a system for release of air directly in the exhaust pipes, the PAIR (Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection), an O2 sensor and to a catalyst, it improves its combustion minimizing fuel consumption and emissions. The valve springs now have a reduced load and the new seal segments of the pistons ensure now a better sliding inside the cylinders. Also revised the injectors, smaller and with a spray improved.
The transmission system has been renovated and the latter, together with the reduction of mechanical losses, promote fuel economy: In Drive mode, in fact, the engine uses 15% less fuel than the previous model. Confirmed the Electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (SECVT), or electronic automatic gearbox which, thanks to a simple selection of the buttons on the handlebars, lets you choose between three different modes: two fully automatic (Drive and Power) and a manual. Revised also the material of the disks of the clutch, now capable of reducing friction by 35%.
It is then worked to reduce the effect on-off of the previous model. The technicians have spoken both on the setting of SECVT that the ECU, new, which has revised fuel injection mapping. All this has allowed consumption (declared by the House) of 21 km / l, a result obtained by driving with the light always on dell'EcoDrive (the controller controls this function every 0.2 seconds). Finally, we have a new exhaust terminal, yes of different forms, but that inside it hides also a catalyst longer than 2 cm and with an internal fluid that allows exhaust gas to exit more quickly. The scooter now, is ready for the Euro4. The designer of Suzuki (Senior Advisor Engereering Motorcycle Division), Etsuji Kato, father not only the first generation of the Burgman 650, but also the Hayabusa (1999) and the V-Strom 650 (2004), was very clear: "The product concept was as follows: 'King of comfortable cruising', we wanted a comfortable, easy and with good amenities. "
CHASSIS, REVIEWED THE BRAKES ... AND NOT ONLY
The tubular steel frame has been redesigned only in the back, to give the Burgman lines sleek and streamlined, and the swingarm is made of light alloy. Suzuki has also decided to equip the Burgman 650 new version of ABS anti-blocking system, lightened by more than 55% compared to the previous model. Also new brake discs, now mounted float and the same diameter. I see tire measures 120/70 R15 front and 160/50 R14 at the rear. The suspensions are as follows: telescopic fork with coil spring front and two dampers, preload on the rear. A curiosity: the ABS sensor, now finds space in front of the fork leg (during disassembly and reassembly of the front wheel often bothered mechanics). Confirmed the weight in 277 kg
THE TEST
Let's just two numbers to understand: over 83,000 Burgman 650 sold in 10 years, with a peak of 11,751 in 2006. A scooter that has always been aimed primarily at professionals, doctors, civil servants and 95% for a male to a user. The vision of the maxi Hamamatsu is now decidedly more modern, you see, and the Executive version we tested shall be a dull gray color, very nice to see. The Burgman is now more elegant and "silk" of the bodies outside intriguing. The plastics "opaque", have good combinations, even if the two drawers of restroscudo offer no idea of solidity, on the contrary of the controls and of the cockpit. The former are more than complete and very intuitive, while the second integrates all the necessary data and is readable in any condition, first class and with a backlight in the dark refers to the high-segment sedans.
Now you move more easily from a standstill, thanks to lower internal friction, and the space reserved for the upper legs. But we must always do a little 'strength, as with a full tank of petrol you touched 300 kg Simply touch the start button and the engine comes to life. Here's the first surprise: the big Japanese is a quiet disarming you need for a relaxing drive. The driving position is comfortable, with his back resting on the backrest lumbar. The legs have a lot of space at the longitudinal (ditto for the feet) and controls and levers are in the right place. The brake levers are adjustable, and the block on the left has a lot of buttons (we do not like the thread of the knob heated right, too exposed to accidental contact). Let us not impress though, because with the help Drive, nothing changes compared to a regular scooter automatic variator. The vibrations are absent even with the engine idling.
IN URBAN
We start with an urban, where the Burgman 650 is agile despite its weight and its mass. Everything is under control, the engine responds well (it disappeared the on-off of the previous model), is extremely fluid, and also the holes plastics do not creak at all. Speaking of holes, we confirm the comfort guaranteed by the suspension, well calibrated. The ABS has an excellent response (flawless front), although the levers "pulsing" a bit 'too. Excellent visibility of rear-view mirrors (provided you keep your fingers on the levers, or they interfere at the top of the view), even if the overall traffic in the capital should not be underestimated when it slips between the cars waiting at the traffic lights.
MOTORWAY
A short stretch of motorway makes us appreciate the wind protection, a real GT! The windshield in high position (the setting is on the right-hand control and we would have liked an answer a bit 'more "slow" motor, to better calibrate) secures to the bottom of the visor of the helmet (the pilot is up 1.86 meters). The driver is therefore literally "wrapped": shoulders, legs, everything is well protected. This allows you to walk kilometers and kilometers without tiring. A 130 km / h, the tachometer marks almost 5,000 r / min, while the scooter stable and proceeds without wavering.
OUT OF TOWN
Here is where we play with the manual gearbox, not very fast in the change, but we have no problem to say, did not we almost never used, as in the Drive Mode Burgman 650 does everything it needs to do. If you need power, just twist the throttle, the engine automatically revs and scale, enabling significant acceleration. The State row is good, safe and yet, in comfort.
MOUNTAIN
To complete the testing, Suzuki brought us even in the mountains! Here we have selected the mode always automatic, but Power. The engine will automatically rise to 1,500 r / min and about the response to the throttle is more responsive. Even uphill you go fast, the scooter is stable and there is a feeling of security. In turn responds well and is still quite agile. Forcing the pace (we admit, we take the facts from the road), the scooter responds quite well. Braking is powerful (but improved the response of ABS at the rear), the corner entries are accurate (while leaving all'arga a little 'trajectory) and the engine gives strong. Suspension settings also favors sporty driving, but of course, the Burgman 650 is not meant to attack the curves. We are talking about an extreme use, mind you.
CONCLUSIONS
Ultimately, the Burgman 650 is half mature, a very good product. It 's perfect for those who live outside the city, and every day he goes to the city for work, with his suitcase that fits in the saddle. Attention to the cover of the fuel tank, however, in a position a little 'at risk of breaking if you are distracted (located on the left side of the tail). In Suzuki have therefore improved an already quality. We recommend in all cases, the Executive version, the day a little '
, heated grips and seat have "spoiled" the right. They will arrive in dealerships in early April.
