Tier C · #25

Low seat, sofa-like comfort and a famously relaxed nature. A long-distance commuter that genuinely asks nothing of you.

The comfort-class champion.
On the road

Low, relaxed and sofa-comfortable, the Burgman drones out long motorway commutes without drama. Performance is modest, but outright pace was never the point here.

The automatic bit

Effortless CVT twist-and-go, tuned for smooth, lazy progress rather than urgency. Ideal for riders who want as close to zero mental load as two wheels allow.

Living with it

A very low seat, big storage and excellent comfort make it a brilliant nervous-returner or long-commute tool. It's bulky to manoeuvre and far from thrilling, but deeply restful.

The verdict

The Burgman is the comfort-class champion: low, easy and able to drone out long motorway commutes without drama. Not thrilling, deeply restful.
