Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive Review: The Superbike of Scooters

Think of it as a power scooter or a step-through on steroids... but whatever you do, don't call it a motorcycle. With its massive powerplant and hefty curb weight, the Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive is unlike any other 'scoot you've seen, a genre-busting ride that flies in the face of conventional two-wheeled wisdom.

Priced at $9,899 (for the 2012 model), the Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive is pricier than many middleweight motorcycles... but after you see its laundry list of bells and whistles, you'll understand why this Japanese überscooter commands such a premium.
