• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Well I took the leap

I have an SE5, and, like many others, have not had a single problem. Unfortunately the forum medium tends to magnify the negative.

Oh, and don't beleive what you hear, Full Moon (Silver) is faster than Red.

:yes::yes::yes:

I have decided on the yellow as I will do some carbon fiber to it. Carbon fiber on yellow look awesome. Later I will get a set of panels and paint it up some other color. My main concern is that I do not get one of the bad SE5 with gear and steering problems, made contact with the tech at the dealer and ask him to check and re check and ride it and maybe change the sensors out before I take it more.
 
Silver FLYS........

If you are thinking of painting anyway...go with Silver, why pay the $300 premium to paint over it. It will still be faster, even if it is a STEALTH SILVER under the custom paint!
 
I will be getting mine next week, what should I have the service dept change and or look at before I take it home.

I have millenium yellow and wouldn't go any other way...then again, I like all the colors as they each have a certain, distinct look to them.

Enjoy your ride! :congrats:
 
Hay,
I went from a Burgman 650 to Can-Am Spyder my self.
You will enjoy it once you get used to it.

I love my Burgman 650 and I am not getting rid of it not just yet anyway but it's also time for something new and the Spyder it is for now.

spyderlover2 it will be hard to compare the Burgman 650 to a spyder. I have not had the chance to ride a spyder yet but the fact that the spyder has two wheels up front sure will made the ride very different, I believe riding the spyder is like riding a jet ski.

thanks Burg650! have a great time on your new spyder!:congrats::2thumbs: i hope to be doing the same sometime soon:pray:...it looks like a great ride! i would also like to get the burgman 650 too just to have a 2 wheeler also, i guess for the "lean" factor instead of the "Y" factor sometimes. plus i hear a lot of great things about the B650 too. having both would be the best of both worlds! :thumbup:
 
I had a Honda 600 scooter -- even had trike wheels on the back. I think it had 300 miles on it when I sold it. Reason? A ride of 20 miles was an all-day ride!! Now I have a Red (Red Rocks!!) Spyder -- 20 miles is just a warm up for a nice ride. No more scooters for me. :cus:.. but this is off topic..

Enjoy your new ride... I know that I'm enjoying mine...welcome

Spyderlover2 the burgman 650 is a great bike it almost rides like a motorcycle, in fact NJ DMV calls it a motorcycle not a scooter because of the 650CC. I have had more fun on my burgman that all the other bikes I have owned the comfort is wonderful especially with the mods I have done ( see photos here http://burgmanusa.com/gallery/My-Custom-Burg-650 ) for now I am keeping my burgman as it will be a different ride than the spyder. Spyderlover2 go for it get it, there is a big difference in price between the two like almost $10,000
 
Hi Burg650 where are you purchasing your spyder from? you will have to take it out on to rte 3 or the turnpike to open that puppy up. :yes::yes::yes:

hey burg650, nice burgie, and i see you made the front cover of the mag! cool! i also check out burgmanusa.com forums! i drive nights and get tired, and i love the spyder because i can relax on it, but i also love the burgies because of the 20+ mpg's i can get over what the spyder gets. plus, if i start to rubberneck coming home from work, the spyder would be the best ride! but i hear ya on the price dif! huge!! these are the reasons i am torn between the 2! GRRRRRRRRRR! if i could find a spyder for less than ten g's then i would pounce, but they arent that old yet and they tend to retain their value...shoot, i like that but not when i am buying...LOL! maybe i will just have to get a parttime job to get them both...LOL, not! it will all work out! whatever happens, i will still be a spyderlover-2! as well as a burgie lover! these are 2 awesome rides! i hope you realize how fortunate you are to have both! you are living my dream....live it well! hayden
