Suzuki Burgman 400
The Suzuki Burgman 400 was introduced in 1998 as part of Suzuki's Burgman maxi-scooter lineup, positioned between the Burgman 250 and flagship Burgman 650. It gained a significant redesign in 2003 and again in 2007, when it became one of the first scooters to offer an optional CVT automatic transmission with paddle-shift-style controls, making it notable for its car-like refinement and long-distance touring capability in the maxi-scooter segment.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the CVT Belt
The continuously variable transmission belt is the most common wear item and should be inspected every 8,000–10,000 miles. Neglected belts can snap and leave you stranded, so always check service records before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The Burgman 400 holds its value exceptionally well compared to most scooters, often retaining 60–70% of its value after three years. Its reputation for long-term reliability (many owners report 50,000+ miles) keeps demand consistently high.
Massive Underseat Storage
The Burgman 400 features one of the largest underseat storage compartments in its class, capable of fitting a full-face helmet plus gear. This makes it a genuinely practical daily commuter without needing saddlebags or a top case.
