Widely acknowledged as the scooter that began the large capacity trend, the Burgman 650 marks it’s tenth year of production with a significant update for 2013, boasting a new look, better efficiency and more refinement.

Renowned for bringing four-wheel luxury and practicality to two-wheel versatility, the 2013 Burgman 650 ABS Executive continues this theme with standard equipment that includes ABS, a powered height adjustable screen, electrically retractable mirrors, heated grips, heated rider and passenger seats, a DC power socket and passenger backrest.

With technology advances, the new Burgman boasts an impressive 15% improvement in fuel efficiency*, thanks to refinements in the transmission settings that not only heighten its efficiency, but provide a smooth, linear, shock free power delivery for easy riding. The semi-automatic transmission design also includes new clutch plates that reduce drag by 35%, improving off-bike maneuverability.

TheBurgman650 Executive model now offers a new antilock braking system that weighs 55% less than that of the previous model, while aesthetics offer a lighter look and feel too thanks to completely redesigned body panels.

The Burgman 650 Executive is expected to arrive in UK dealers in spring 2013.
