Suzuki Burgman 200
The Suzuki Burgman 200 has a top speed of 130 km/h (estimated; note: may vary by region and conditions), produces 18.5 hp and weighs 161 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.2/10.
The Suzuki Burgman 200 was introduced in 2013 as a mid-size maxi-scooter positioned between the Burgman 125 and the larger 400/650 models, targeting urban commuters seeking more highway capability than smaller scooters. It features a fuel-injected 200cc single-cylinder engine with underseat storage and a refined chassis, making it a practical and popular choice in the maxi-scooter segment. The Burgman 200 has remained largely unchanged since its debut, a testament to its well-rounded design and continued relevance in city and suburban riding.

What Buyers Should Know
Proven Reliable Engine
The Burgman 200 uses a fuel-injected 200cc single-cylinder engine known for low maintenance needs and strong longevity. Many owners report 30,000+ miles with minimal issues beyond routine servicing.
Watch the CVT Belt
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) belt is the most common wear item and should be inspected around 12,000–15,000 miles. Neglected belts can snap unexpectedly, leaving you stranded.
Steady Resale Value
The Burgman 200 holds its value reasonably well due to strong brand reputation and consistent demand in the urban commuter market. Low mileage used examples often sell for 70–80% of their original price.
Generations & Specs by Year
Introduced 200cc fuel-injected engine, underseat storage, ABS optional, maxi-scooter styling debut.

Used Buyer Review
"A sensible, honest commuter that rewards patient, practical riders."
$2,500-$4,500 usedThe Burgman 200 sits in a weird middle ground — too big for pure city work, not quite enough for regular highway stints — but somehow it nails the sweet spot for suburban commuters who've outgrown a 50cc scoot. The 200cc single pulls cleanly through the CVT, and that underseat storage genuinely fits a full-face helmet. Used examples from 2014 onward are generally bulletproof if maintained, but check the variator rollers and belt — neglected ones get sluggish and jerky above 40mph. Things to watch on used units: inspect the front fork seals carefully, they weep on high-mileage bikes, and the plastic bodywork cracks around the lower fairing mounts if the previous owner dropped it. Fuel economy is outstanding — mid-70s mpg is realistic. The riding position is genuinely comfortable for 45-minute commutes but starts nagging your lower back on longer runs. It's no sports machine, but it was never pretending to be.
