Burgman 400 ตั้งแต่ปี 1999
The Suzuki Burgman 400 has been on continuous sale since 1999 — making it one of the longest-running maxi-scooter nameplates. Three full generations: 1st gen (1999-2006), 2nd gen K7 (2006-2016), 3rd gen ABS (2017-on, with 2025 Euro 5+ update). Most rivals: Forza 350 nameplate from 2018, XMAX 300 from 2017, C400 GT from 2018. The Burgman is the established player.
เบาะต่ำสุดในคลาส
755mm
755mm is the lowest seat height of any mid-size maxi-scooter — Forza 350 (780mm), XMAX 300 (795mm), C400 GT (775mm), GTS 300 (790mm). For shorter riders (under 5'7") the Burgman is the only maxi-scooter that lets both feet flat on the ground reliably. Underrated practical advantage.
พื้นที่ใต้เบาะนำคลาส
50L+ (หมวกสองใบ)
The Burgman 400 has the largest underseat compartment in its class — 50L+ measured, comfortably accommodates two full-face helmets (or one + jacket + shopping). Forza 350 (48L), XMAX 300 (47L), C400 GT (varies with Flexcase). The Burgman wins on raw practical space.
ปรัชญาเครื่อง: แรงบิด + ความสบาย
พลังรอบต่ำ
The Burgman's 400cc single is tuned for low-rpm torque (peak 35Nm at 5,000rpm) rather than peak power. Result: lazy, calm cruising. Holds 80mph two-up without strain. Rivals (Forza 350, XMAX 300) feel sportier; Burgman feels like a sofa with wheels. For touring two-up, the Burgman is the calmer choice.
อายุแชสซี
พื้นฐานเดิมตั้งแต่ปี 2017
The current 3rd-gen Burgman 400 chassis launched in 2017. By 2026 the chassis is 9 years old — the oldest in its class. Suzuki has updated the engine (Euro 5+), traction control, lighting — but the chassis, brakes and suspension are essentially unchanged. Trade-off: slightly older feel; benefit: well-debugged platform.
อัตราภาษี — และข้อได้เปรียบเล็กๆ
£90/ปี (เทียบ £25 ใน 350)
The Burgman's 400cc engine sits in the £90/year UK road tax bracket (401-500cc bikes is £93). Forza 350's 330cc lands in the £25/year bracket. £65/year saving for the Honda — adds up to ~£325 over 5 years of ownership. Real money. The Burgman's slightly larger engine costs more to tax — a quirk of UK tax bands rather than a logical engineering line.
อัตราสิ้นเปลืองโลกจริง
55-65mpg
Suzuki quotes 65mpg WMTC. Real-world riders report 55-65mpg in commuting, 50-60mpg motorway cruising. 13.5L tank gives 200-260 mile range. Less efficient than Forza 350 (75mpg) — the trade for more underseat space and comfort.
ทำไม Burgman เหมาะกับการขี่ระยะทางไกล
สองคน บรรทุกเต็ม
If you actually plan to tour two-up on a maxi-scooter, the Burgman 400 is the rational pick. Lower seat (755mm), more underseat storage (50L+), lazier engine, more comfortable seat. Forza 350 is faster and more efficient; XMAX 300 is sharper; C400 GT is more premium-feel. Burgman is the touring-orientated choice in a class otherwise dominated by city-orientated bikes.
