Dane techniczne i historia Zobacz części do Suzuki AN 400 Suzuki AN 400 Burgman / Źródło: Suzuki Suzuki AN 400 Burgman to skuter miejski produkowany przez japoński koncern nieprzerwanie od 1998 roku. Ergonomiczna i komfortowa pozycja za kierownicą, dopracowany silnik o dużej mocy i atrakcyjny wygląd to tylko początek listy zalet tego “mieszczucha”. Suzuki AN 400 Burgman zostało wyposażone w jednocylindrową jednostkę napędową o pojemności skokowej 385 ccm. Chłodzony cieczą silnik czterosuwowy otrzymał elektroniczny system wtrysku paliwa, elektroniczny zapłon cyfrowy i rozrząd SOHC (cztery zawory na cylinder sterowane przez jeden wałek rozrządu). Serce modelu Burgman 400 generuje moc maksymalną 32 KM i maksymalny moment obrotowy 32 Nm. Taka specyfikacja nawet w skuterze o masie 184 kilogramów (na sucho, bez płynów eksploatacyjnych i paliwa) gwarantuje użytkownikom dynamiczne przyspieszenia - także na trasie - oraz pozwala osiągnąć prędkość ponad 150 km/h. Moc i moment obrotowy trafiają na tylne koło za pośrednictwem bezstopniowej przekładni automatycznej CVT, którą posiadacze modelu Burgman 400 pokochali za bezawaryjność i prawie całkowitą bezobsługowość. Niska masa, wtrysk paliwa i dopracowana jednostka napędowa zaowocowały zużyciem paliwa utrzymanym na atrakcyjnym poziomie. Średnie spalanie w cyklu miejskim wynosi 5,5 l/100 kilometrów, co przy zbiorniku paliwa o pojemności 13 litrów zapewnia zasięg ponad 200 kilometrów na jednym tankowaniu. Na stalowej ramie Suzuki AN 400 Burgman osadzono miękko zestrojone zawieszenie i skuteczny układ hamulcowy - oba niezbędne podczas codziennej eksploatacji. Z przodu znajdziemy widelec teleskopowy typu Upside-down (średnica goleni - 41 mm) i wentylowaną tarczę hamulcową o średnicy 260 mm z dwutłoczkowym zaciskiem hamulcowym, zaś z tyłu - amortyzator olejowy z regulacją napięcia wstępnego i wentylowaną tarczę hamulcową o średnicy 210 mm i zacisk jednotłoczkowy. Suzuki AN 400 Burgman porusza się na 13. calowych felgach z lekkich stopów aluminium, które obuto w opony szosowe o standardowych rozmiarach (przód 110/90-13, tył 130/70-13).

Władze uchylają 63-letni zakaz Szwajcarskie władze uchyliły obowiązujący od 1959 roku zakaz organizowania wyścigów torowych. To jedyny kraj z takim zakazem w Europie, można zatem mówić o prawdziwej rewolucji. Benzyna E10 już wkrótce na stacjach. Czy nasze motocykle są bezpieczne? Benzyna z 10-procentowym dodatkiem biokomponentów, nazwana symbolem E10, pojawi się na stacjach paliw już w 2024 roku. Rząd intensyfikuje prace nad wprowadzeniem tego paliwa ze względu na skomplikowaną sytuację na rynku paliw. Nie wszystkie pojazdy są jednak gotowe na taką benzynę. KNF zaleca podwyżki cen polis OC.

Well, I mean it could be… Wherever you live, you can probably find all kinds of things that have gone spectacularly tits up over the years in your own backyard. The bigger the town, the bigger the pile of massive cock-ups, as the English like to say. It’s a good word. Especially now that there’s no traffic, and we have motorcycles, why not let’s go visit? Our deepest condolences to those of you living in places where you’re not allowed to ride. (California is under stay-at-home orders as of March 19, but one of the exceptions reads: “So long as you are maintaining a safe social distance of six feet from people who aren’t part of your household, it is OK to go outside for exercise, a walk or fresh air.” We rode to the dam before the 19th, and for some of us, riding is exercise.) If you’ve seen Chinatown, you’ve already met William Mulholland in the character of Hollis Mulwray, the man who brought water to Los Angeles, which allowed it to become the home of some 58 billion people. Where he brought the water from, though, and the way he went about it, had a lot of residents from the Owens Valley area up north of LA, far from happy. Unhappy enough to dynamite the California Aqueduct closed now and then, which gave Mulholland the idea that a second large source of water for the growing metropolis would be a good idea. Thus, the St. Francis Dam in San Francisquito Canyon, 40 miles northwest of downtown LA. Let us blast out of the concrete jungle, muchachos… I’m going to borrow most of my information from Wikipedia (I made a small donation) because I don’t have days to read the books and archives that Wiki draws upon, but they’re out there if you want to dive deep. Heck, the Wiki entry itself is thousands of words… Credit: Geological Survey Water began to fill the St. Francis reservoir on March 12, 1926, and while the 185-feet tall dam had its share of leaks and cracks as the reservoir behind it filled, apparently it was nothing to worry about. “Of all the dams I have built and of all the dams I have ever seen, it was the driest dam of its size I ever saw,” William Mulholland would later say. Two years later, on March 28, 1928, the dam keeper noticed a new, bigger leak that seemed to be gnawing at the foundation of the dam. He called Mr. Mulholland, who drove up with his assistant Harvey Van Norman, and inspected the dam for two hours before deciding the new leak was nothing serious, the dam was safe. The pair drove back to LA. Lake Hughes Road and Bouquet Canyon are both excellent riding as well. We decided to schedule our own two-hour inspection. We used to tear around Bouquet Canyon and Lake Hughes a lot when there was only a monthly print magazine and no internet mouth to feed, but I don’t recall ever riding San Francisquito Canyon. The plan was to go up Angeles Crest (CA Hwy 2) and take the scenic route westward, but no sooner had we headed up there on a Saturday morning (there were a lot of bikes and sportscars out), than the CHP was turning traffic around at the bottom of the Crest. Bad crash? We should’ve gone Friday like the original plan. Wait. Do weekends still exist? I’m riding solo because somebody had to snap the photo. Note plenteous rider and passenger proportions. Photo by C. Rogers. But it barely mattered, because we had the 210 freeway to ourselves. Which was good, because I turned left instead of right on Sunland Boulevard and got lost and angry at my Google map for a while until I figured out somebody must’ve broken into my house overnight and turned off the cellular data. Once that was fixed, Google and my Cardo had us on our way. I suggest seeking out restaurants with outdoor seating, like the Ranch Side Cafe at the bottom of Little Tujunga Canyon up in Sunland, CA; we seem to be the only ones out lately, so staying six feet away from people is no problem. Note phone-charging cord hanging out of left glove box. Handy. Photo by C. Rogers. Now that’s a burrito… I had a Kawasaki Z900RS and a BMW F900XR in the garage too, but we needed to try out the Burgman 400’s long-distance chops. We’d already decided for around town, it can’t be beat. As it turns out, I’m really glad we hopped on it. I already own a nice little Suzuki soft cooler, which gives us the cachet of owning matching luggage. It’s just large enough for a few cans/water bottles and some snacks, and it fit perfectly under the seat, along with the other stuff people travel with, no luggage or backpack required: Also, 5-feet-zero Chrissy Rogers fits perfectly on the cushy back seat, which is way easier to climb onto than the Z900 or the BMW, and more comfortable. An apple a day keeps the pandemic away… the old road down to the dam site is just over the hump in the Burgie’s windscreen, not too far a walk. Suzuki says two helmets will fit in the 42-liter trunk, but we don’t believe them. Helmet hooks would be nice, since your trunk usually is already full; we wound up carrying ours. (Correction! There is one helmet hook up front near the seat’s hinge.) Even after two hours up the freeway and being lost, neither of us had any comfort complaints. Cruising at 80 or 85 mph on the Burgman, with its tachometer registering 8500 rpm of a possible 9000, nobody felt any vibration. Top speed for two – about a 350-pound payload – is 90 mph, according to the speedo, on level ground. Perfect for SoCal freeways. Any slower is too slow when the freeway is empty like it is now during this hopefully once-in-a-lifetime event; any faster you’re itching for trouble, mister. There’s a 399 cc DOHC liquid-cooled engine sitting somewhere under the hood, and we’re told it’s derived from the long-running and rock-solid DR-Z400. The Burgie actually does sound a bit dirt-bikey coarse at first even if it never feels that way, but then you get used to it and enjoy brawwhping it around just like you would a DR-Z. It seems to enjoy the abuse, and Suzuki says its 5-liter airbox is tuned to sound “exciting.” 2018 Suzuki Burgman First Ride Review When they redesigned the scooter for 2018, it got bigger wheels (120/70-15 and 150/70-13), a stiffer frame and a bunch of other upgrades. Throw in a 41mm fork, link-type shock out back, triple disc brakes (with standard ABS) and you’ve got a pretty sweet-handling package – and not just for a scooter. Closer inspection reveals the cylinder head is right below the rider’s part of the seat, with the preload-adjustable rear shock parallel to the ground amidships. Seems like pretty good “mass centralization” but also retaining the typical excellent scooter low center of gravity. Along with nice new bodywork for 2018, the Burgman got LED lighting all around. That seat really is comfy, and the bolster adjusts back and forth about an inch. With 350 pounds of flesh and gear aboard, bump absorption and the ride seem right in the ballpark – and I didn’t bother to crank the rear preload up from the standard #3 of its 7 positions. In fact the rear feels just right with passenger and loaded trunk. Without the passenger, I think you could ride the Burgie really quick in the curves. With a passenger, you can still ride pretty quick. You can also just cruise along since the CVT auto trans does all the shifting. Do any scooters have cruise control? The only thing we both complained about was buffeting about the helmets at speeds above about 60 mph, but I could still listen to talk radio and hear Cardo directions inside my Shoei, with foam earplugs in. The aftermarket serves up all kinds of windshields and extensions to fix that turbulence. Where were we? O yeah, March 12, 1928, and another guy riding a motorcycle (history does not tell us the brand) up San Francisquito Cyn road after his shift had ended at Powerhouse Number 1 below the dam – just about 92 years ago, just before midnight: “There were no surviving eyewitnesses to the collapse, but at least five people passed the dam within the hour prior without noticing anything unusual. The last, Ace Hopewell, a carpenter at Powerhouse No. 1, rode his motorcycle past the dam about ten minutes before midnight. He testified at the Coroner’s Inquest that he had passed Powerhouse No. 2 without seeing anything there or at the dam that caused him concern. He went on to state that at approximately one and one-half miles upstream he heard above the roar of his motorcycle a rumbling much like the sound of “rocks rolling on the hill.” He stopped and got off, leaving the engine idling, and smoked a cigarette while checking the hillside above him. The rumble that had caught his attention earlier had begun to fade behind him. Assuming that it might have been a landslide, as these were common in the area, and satisfied that he was in no danger, he continued on.” The rumbling Ace had heard was the “sudden and complete” collapse of the main dam at minutes before midnight (along with the fluttering of his guardian angel’s wings), which we know precisely because that’s the time the power went off downstream, and the time the water level plunged on the dam’s recording device. “The main dam, from west of the center section to the wing wall abutment atop the hillside, broke into several large pieces, and numerous smaller pieces. All of these were washed downstream as billion gallons (47 million m³) of water began surging down San Francisquito Canyon. The largest piece, weighing approximately 10,000 tons (9,000 metric tons) was found about three-quarters of a mile ( km) below the dam site.” This, then, was a plumbing problem on the grandest scale. On its way to the Pacific down the Santa Clara River, that massive wall of dirty water swept away the little California towns of Piru, Fillmore, Santa Paula, Saticoy and much of Ventura. More Wikipedia: “The exact number of victims remains unknown. The official death toll in August 1928 was 385, but the remains of victims continued to be discovered every few years until the mid-1950s. Many victims were swept out to sea when the flood reached the Pacific Ocean and were never recovered, while others were washed ashore, some as far south as the Mexican border. The remains of one victim were found deep underground near Newhall in 1992, and other bodies, believed to be victims of the disaster, were found in the late 1970s and 1994. The death toll is currently estimated to be at least 431.” This was the second-greatest loss of life in California history, surpassed only by the great 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. “The Tombstone” became an attraction for tourists and souvenir hunters. Credit: Geological Survey Credit: Geological Survey “In May 1929, the upright section was toppled with dynamite, and the remaining blocks were demolished with bulldozers and jackhammers to discourage the sightseers and souvenir hunters from exploring the ruins. The wing dike was used by Los Angeles firemen to gain experience in using explosives on building structures. The St. Francis Dam was not rebuilt, though Bouquet Reservoir in nearby Bouquet Canyon was built in 1934 as a replacement.” A short hike down the old road got us nearly to the old dam site, but we didn’t want to get Rog’s new boots wet so we turned around. Amazing how much trouble a little water can create. Powerhouse #2 is up and running again miles south of the ex-dam, and the site of this plaque, dedicated 50 years later. What was left in the wake of the giant flood was the cleaning up and assigning of blame. William Mulholland had started out as a ditch tender for the Los Angeles City Water Company in 1878, who studied mathematics, hydraulics and geography after work, and taught himself engineering and geology. By 1911, he was Superintendent and Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Water Works and Supply, by which time he’d already designed and nearly completed the Los Angeles Aqueduct, the longest in the world at the time, still in use, and the thing that makes Southern California possible. He took complete blame for the disaster. “During the Inquest Mulholland said, ‘This inquest is a very painful thing for me to have to attend but it is the occasion of it that is painful. The only ones I envy about this thing are the ones who are dead.’ In subsequent testimony, after answering a question he added, ‘Whether it is good or bad, don’t blame anyone else, you just fasten it on me. If there was an error in human judgment, I was the human, I won’t try to fasten it on anyone else.’” Wiki: “The Coroner’s Inquest jury determined that one of the causative factors for the disaster lay in what they had termed as ‘an error in engineering judgment in determining the foundation at the St. Francis Dam site and deciding on the best type of dam to build there’ and that ‘the responsibility for the error in engineering judgment rests upon the Bureau of Water Works and Supply, and the Chief Engineer thereof.’ They cleared Mulholland as well as others of the Bureau of Water Works and Supply of any criminal culpability, since neither he nor anyone else at the time could have known of the instability of the rock formations on which the dam was built. The hearings also recommended that ‘the construction and operation of a great dam should never be left to the sole judgment of one man, no matter how eminent.’” Amen. In the grand scheme of things, 450 people aren’t all that many, unless you happen to be one of them. As I write this on the morning of 7 April, the Golden State’s suffered 387 deaths attributed to coronavirus. Cheer up, though. The St. Francis Dam disaster also passed, things got back to normal, and the 1920s continued to roar. Right up until a year later anyway: On October 29, 1929, the stock market collapsed and ushered in The Great Depression. No telling how many people that killed, but even it wasn’t all bad, since it got us the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas, a million Hitler documentaries, the M1 Garand rifle… The Hoover Dam is still standing, and it’s a great time to visit the outside of it; the inside of it is closed. Anyway it just goes to show you: It’s always something. Heck man, I’d ride the Burgie there if I had a different windscreen. Probably take the back way, though, since there’s no hurry lately. We decided this biggish little scooter (474 pounds wet is the claim) is kind of a poor person’s mini-Goldwing. We put 220 miles on it that day going to visit St. Francis, burning just about four gallons of gas – 55 mpg – and felt perfectly fine at the end of the day. It’s super nice for getting out of the house, while staying far away from the herd.

The Burgman 400 debuted in the USA and Canadian markets for 2003 after being available internationally since 1998. Now in its third generation, the Burgman 400 remains on sale as of 2019. In many overseas countries Suzuki calls this model the Skywave 400 instead, with the same body style/platform also available as a 250cc version. The smaller (125, 200) and larger (650) Burgman’s are entirely different scooters. Generations The first generation of the Burgman 400 (below) went on sale internationally for 1998 and was later introduced to the USA market for 2003, where it went largely unchanged until 2006 aside from a sporty “Type S” model offered in 2005 & 2006. The Type S Burgman 400 added chrome bars, chrome mirrors, blacked out rims, white gauges and a body colored rear spoiler. For 2007 the Burgman 400 entered its second generation with an all new model (below in white). The 2007 Burgman 400 used a new 400cc engine that featured DOHC, liquid cooling, fuel injection and 4-valves. Also new was the styling which took on an edgier look. The 2007 Burgman 400 also got a larger windscreen, more underseat storage (62 liter), a larger front wheel and a nice new instrument panel. For several years Suzuki sold an ABS equipped version of this scooter alongside the regular model, but after 2010 Suzuki offered only the ABS version. The second generation Burgman 400 was dropped from Suzuki’s North American line in the USA and Canada after 2016, and thus no Burgman 400 was offered in 2017. A third generation of the Burgman 400 (shown at top) was launched in North America for 2018. This all new third generation featured a sportier emphasis, with the machine getting smaller and lighter. It has a new riding position that is shifted forward to aid handling, but is perhaps less comfortable for all day touring. The upsides of this new generation are the sporty styling and better handling, with the downsides being a loss in touring comfort and substantially less storage. Storage space is similar to previous generations in the legshield area, with the familiar dual glove box setup, but the underseat storage is notable smaller – declining from cavernous to merely large (shown), so it can just swallow two helmets. Other noteworthy changes with the third generation are a 5mpg improvement in fuel efficiency, a higher seat, a 15” front rim instead of 14” and a lighter weight by 14 lbs (474 lbs vs 489 lbs). While the third generation Burgman 400 is lighter, it still lags far behind the first generation (406 lbs) in the lightweight department. Motor The first two generations of Burgman 400 used a single cylinder, 4-stroke, 4-valve, liquid cooled engine, while the second generation adds fuel injection, dual cams and an extra 14cc (385cc vs 399cc). Both motors are capable of propelling a single rider to about 95mph, but the second generation motor boasts improved efficiency. The 2003 – 2006 Burgman 400 normally records about 50-55mpg, while the second generation sips fuel at 55-60 mph which is pretty good for a 489 lbs (dry) machine. The first generation motor was smaller at 385cc but it also propelled a much lighter 406 lbs machine which is why performance between the generations is quite similar. Both motors are well regarded, reliable motors. The performance is pretty comparable to the Burgman 400’s chief competitor: Yamaha’s Majesty, but slower than newcomers like BMW’s C 400 X. The Burgman 400 provide adequate power for interstate touring, and a 95 mph top speed, while bettering the 40-50mpg that the larger Burgman 650 achieves. For the third generation Suzuki went with a lower compression ( vs and lower emission (Euro 4 compliant) version of their 399cc engine. The core motor is the same as the prior generation ( same bore and stroke) but there are enough changes that Suzuki isn’t far off in calling it all new. This overhauled motor loses a single horsepower compared to the prior model ( HP vs 32 HP) but has a similar power:weight ratio since the bike is also lighter. The best attribute of the new engine is an improvement in fuel milage by 5-10%. Suzuki claims you can get another 20 miles on the same liter tank, which should translate to about 65 mpg on real world roads, since Suzuki is claiming 70 mpg and they’re always a bit optimistic. Comparison If you’re looking at the Burgman 400, you should take a look at Yamaha’s X-MAX 300 and BMW’s C 400 X, while keeping an eye on the used market for Yamaha’s Majesty, Honda’s Forza and Piaggio’s 460cc X9. All of these machines sip fuel quite a bit more sparingly than larger 500 – 650cc full size maxi’s, and are also cheaper to buy and lighter to handle. Overall, the 400cc Burgman is a practical machine for maxi-scooterists who aren’t addicted to power. One could spend $2000 more to get the larger 650cc Burgman, but 400cc offers ample amenities and plenty of power for highway cruising along with better milage than it’s larger sibling. If you’re used to a lot of power or you plan on doing a lot of fast 2-up riding, you might want to look at a 500-650cc machine, but otherwise the Burgman 400 will be a great choice.
